Train'd Bezier

Heads up: 
This isn't really a game so much as an infinitely looping train on a set of randomly generated tracks.

Controls: 'R' to reset the scene and generate a new path every time!

This project was initially inspired by a conversation on train games with a friend. I had recently figured out how to script adjustable Bezier curves in Unity and C# and really wanted to see if that script could be used to generate a random path for train tracks to be laid down.

I had a lot of fun with this one - just very simple sort of placeholder models and textures in here, my main focus was generating tracks along randomly generated Bezier splines (with curve controls), but I also got into making a tunnel shader that the train could disappear into. That shader is aided by a stencil shader so that the train doesn't show through the other side of the tunnel when it goes through!

Who knows if that makes sense, but I had a really nice time making it :)

Things I was playing with in this scene:Random track generation

• Objects following bezier pathing
• Random name generation on signs
• Procedural sign placement
• Tunnel shader with faked depth
• Stencil shader for hiding the train from the other side of the tunnel... Plus some fun magic stuff that hides the shadow as well.
