Good stuff! I'm also currently working on a billiards game myself. It's a lot of fun and helped me learn a more about Unity's physics system.

Thanks! I hope you found the video informative. Will probably make a follow up about physics materials for the balls and table in the future but need to spend some more time sorting it out on my own first.

6:20 accurate description of my programming, great video btw. Will be keeping up with you 😀

We all run into errors. Seemingly simple task to generate positions to organize the balls in a grid and it took way too long to get it to work. Every time it failed I saw them explode on the bord

Been testing a similar thing and the physics for it are totally unrealistic. I can see in your video you have the same problem and effectively just have a bunch of balls colliding around and hitting walls in a totally unrealistic way. Did you ever get any further with this? Mostly this video seems about Blender.

Very good

More like a Blender tutorial.. In a pool game physics and aiming ( the white line which shows the target hit and its direction) are two important areas which has been missed in this video. What a good graphics without a proper functioning game.

Very good point. I’m planning on adding a follow up video about adding physics and game mechanics to the game. Haven’t finished exploring the built in physics materials for adding the bounce and hitting mechanics! Will definitely make a follow up video on this topic.

@@NickMaltbie that would be really great. because right now I am working in a 2D Pool game and unity physics sucks. Whenever you start on your work, see if you can find a solution to the problem - when a ball touches the edge of f the table at slow speed and has low angle, it just roll around with the edge, and not bounce back. I have tried every possible combinations of bounciness, friction, mass etc, but can't worked it out. Any help will be really appreciated.

I had the same problem actually. I was going to try and tackle it by adjusting the physics settings a lot or making a custom physics system like my OpenKCC project and writing some custom physics code! Having the projected line should be very similar to how I projected the player movement for the OpenKCC project. I’ll definitely make a follow up note on the GitHub project for these features :)

@@NickMaltbie I found the solution to this issue. It was not entirely fault of bounciness or friction values. It turned out that a property in Player Setting was impacting the bounciness at low speed. So go to Player Setting - Physics2D and then look for the property Velocity Threshold. Default value is 1, that means if pool balls velocity drops below that, it would be treated as no bounciness. I set the value as .2 and it worked. Don't set value 0 or too low as it can introduce jitters. In 3D this property calls Bounce Threshold. Hopes this helps.

That’s awesome! I’ll make sure to include these notes in the follow up video. Thanks for the follow up investigation.

when it looks all wack with smooth shading, i think you can either use the edge split modifier, or since that fucks up geometry, even better, enable autosmooth with normals and change the threshold angle if needed you could've loaded the images into the background to basically just easily trace them

I’ll have to check out those modifiers. also, tracing images will probably be easier next time :)

@@NickMaltbienoice :) second one isn't a modifier, i think it's in the vertices tab

2:43 you need add lines where you not want smoothing mean every cornet that need be sharp you need 2 more huh OR not smooth? you can lie with graphics lol

2:04 this is problem for modeller. you need be engineer. you allready should know coordinate or corners and middle point LOL bcoz engineer build with numbers not just drag it look fine LOL 2x and im 101% sure blender or what eva it is have snap LOL 3x
