In general I wanted to make it in unity3d but I saw that in tutorials, they made it in blender.
This is what I did in unity:
I want to make this high cube hollow on the inside, and make a small door so that I will be able to walk inside the cube. Later on, I want to somehow add stairs but the problem now is how to make it hollow on the inside.
I saw in some places the suggestion to use blender so I tried this tutorial in blender:
Blender
But got stuck there after I checked the Add Mesh Extra Objects and clicked on Save User Settings. I tried then to click on the bottom on Add > Mesh but then I don't have Extra Objects. I have Extras objects like in the tutorial video.
Anyone my main goal is to make the high cube hollow on the inside with a small door on the bottom so I will be able to walk inside.
From what I know Unity3D has no 3DModelling by default (maybe there is something for that in store), so you need to use Blender or some other program (for example Maya). There is https://blender.stackexchange.com/ where you can ask same question (since it is not really unity3d related)
Maybe this will be helpful : https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/5849/how-do-i-create-a-solid-object-cube
Overall what you could do, but it is not the est way - you can build a everything out of boxes yourself in Unity3D
Try use to boolean modifier. Take a look this tutorial:

Currently making my first game in Unity and have been using Blender for the meshes and animations. I followed a simple tutorial to animate the default cube; I've made it look like it's jumping, laughing, and breathing to understand the animation workflow.
However, when I went to import it into Unity I find that it is just an outline of the default cube without the modifiers added. I fixed this by going back into Blender and converting the model to a mesh (made a copy beforehand) which applied the modifiers. Now I can see the cube as it shows in Blender. There's just one problem; it doesn't have the animations attached properly.
All I want to do is re-attach the necessary vertices to the armature so the animations are as they should be. Is that possible?
Here is what was attempted before coming here:
Built the armature again and imported the saved animations onto that
Searched YouTube for a tutorial on the subject (surprisingly not a lot of tutorials on this)
Started to re-animate the new mesh cube to get the same effect but realized it was too tedious
Manually applying the modifiers with Ctrl-A which has the same effect as converting to Mesh
Either that, or is there a way to import the cube without applying the modifiers and still having it be a solid model?
This is the tutorial I followed to animate the Default Cube
If photos, or a video (not sure if I have the software for that), are needed to better understand please ask
I've decided to use Minecraft like characters in my small game since I do not know how to make 3d models (nor I want to learn how to do such thing in the near future).
However the task now seem a little harder than expected:
I've tried looking in the asset store for prefabs to use but without success.
So, I've decided to try and make a model on blender(by not knowing a thing about non parametric 3d modeling, my knowledge of blender is extremely limited) and import it into my unity game.
And surprisingly, I managed to create the model using McPrep, export it and import it into unity maintaining objects that drive the bones (the output is a bit messy but I think I can manage to clean it up a little).
However the imported version does not have any skin and appears in a gray shade.
Turns out that the output does not keep materials/textures with it!
I've tried getting the texture used by blender and it returns the same skin I fed into mcprep so, by using the same skin, I've tried creating a material with it by getting the .png and using it as texture in a unlit texture material.
However, the result is a bit messy as shown here (left is Blender, right is Unity):
How may I make the texture on unity3d be better and right? (I've heard there is a way using a C# script but I really don't know what it is nor how to do it)
EDIT:
Thanks for the answers before, I did set the filter to point obtaining the texture to be a bit better. However the part that should be transparent is displayed in black on top of the other part (I think).
The image on the right is only filter point and the one on the left is point + alpha is transparency and the transparent shader using unlit transparent
ANSWER FOUND:
As Bart said, make sure the textures' Filter Mode is set to Point, but additionally:
Minecraft player characters are made of 2 layers, the second layer usually has lots of transparency and is used for clothing or other relief detail. So you need to use a transparency-capable shader on your material in Unity.
You're running into a filtering issue. In your case you want no filtering to happen. So select your texture, and in the inspector change the import settings so that your "Filter Mode" is set to "Point". In this case it will do no filtering of the input and your large pixels should appear sharp as you want.
I'm working in a Unity application with HoloLens, where I place different prefabs across a room and I use TapToPlace to put it on a surface using SpatialMapping. I works great with some fbx models that I had, but then I received some models that I got in .max format, which I converted to FBX using 3DS Mask, they look good, but the exact setup as the other models, whenever I tap them, they are place halfway below the surface.
I've noticed that the working prefabs puts the cursor right at the bottom when in placing mode, while the "broken" ones put the cursor in the middle. Here is an example of how it looks in Unity:
Working:
Not working:
What is that circle there? it looks like the cursor, because everytime that I tap the object, the cursor is placed exactly there for each prefab, but for the ones in the center, half of the model shows below the surface, somehow it looks like it's related; is there a way to move that to the bottom as the working one looks like? if not, is there something that I need to do in 3DS max when exporting these new models to FBX? both models are using box collider, TwoHandManipulatable and TapToPlace.
Thank you, I appreciate the help.
The issue is on the axisof the model -- the pivot point of the model is not at the bottom of the model.
If at all possible it is recommended that you fix the model in your 3D modelling application, If this is not possible, you can fix it in Unity by adding an extra parent transform, more information please see:

Ok, so I have looked around the internet but I cannot find the sprite mesh. I should be able to right click my sprite> 2D Object> SpriteMesh.
Problem is that I don't see the option "SpriteMesh" anywhere.
Here's the deal. I created a bunch of 2D pieces for a character: head, body, two arms, two legs, two hands, and two feet. I imported the sprite as a PNG file and changed SpriteMode to multiple. I used the Sprite Editor to slice the char into pieces automatically. There's also nothing inside of the sprite editor that allows me to rig bones either.
Now I need to Rig the toon with bones and skin. However, I cannot find a way to do this. Watching a few tutorials, the guy adds a SpriteMesh to each of the parts. However, when I try to do this, the option just doesn't exist. I see SpriteMask but no SpriteMesh.
I'm using Unity 2018.2.18f1.
I have zero experience in animations like this. Normally I create a player/enemy without legs/arms. So they just float and I use the animation tab to change size/shape to insinuate movement. However, I'd like to take this next step and make the game look better.
How can I rig my toon? What steps do I need to follow?
All help is appreciated!
I guess you want to use the new 2D Features from Unity, if you want to rig your 2D Character.
I'm using Unity 2018.2.18f1.
You need to use Unity 2018.3 or later to use these tools.
I suggest you to use Unity Hub to download multiples versions and Beta versions.
There is a really nice video from Brackeys about this subject also.
When you have the 2018.3 or later version installed, open your project and go to the Window/Package Manager window, you need to install these packages :
I don't think you need the 2D Pixel Perfect but it's always nice to have.
I'm trying to do some Augmented Reality in Unity using the Vuforia plugin. I've managed to get everything working (I'm using a 3d model of a car), only the position of the car relative to the marker is wrong when I come to preview it (click the 'Play button at the top and watch through the computer's camera - is 'preview' the right name for this?).
It should be sitting on the the marker in the center, but instead it's floating above the marker and off to the side by quite a bit. The positioning is definitely right in the program itself, so I'm not sure why this isn't reflected in the preview.
Also: at the moment the car is simply an untextured grey object. I realise the textures are included in a subfolder, however I can't drag the entire car's folder (including the Textures subfolder) into the ImageTarget, only the .3ds file itself. Does anyone know how to apply the original textures to the car?
Thanks so much for your help in advance!

Well, to start answering your question about the drifting away part, you've probably got a Rigidbody attached to your Car? Well, if that's the case, then Go to the Inspector where the Rigidbody is and you'll see constraints.
To avoid it floating off, you might want to check Freeze Positions for whichever direction it needs. Probably Y axis.
Now, I'm not entirely sure if you're using Vector.AddForce to move your objects, but if you are then just check if your car can move if you've put all constraints on.
If you can't then in your code trying using Object.Rigidbody.SetActive(true) when you need it to start moving, and Object.Rigidbody.SetActive(false) when its done.
On the other hand, if you aren't using Vector.AddForce() then remove Rigidbody component if you've used it.
As for the material. If you've got the material in your folder that you've downloaded then just drag and drop it into Assets. Now sometimes your car may be one solid mesh, but some times it may be multiple meshes. So which ever the case. Drag the material from your Assets onto the Hierarchy panel over your car mesh/meshes and it should turn into that color.
Hope it helps. :)
