Unity: Design Voxel Environments with Marching Squares

Course Overview

This advanced Unity development course equips learners with the skills to construct, analyze, and implement performant voxel-based environments using the Marching Squares algorithm. Starting with foundational concepts of voxel grids and triangulation, the course guides students through interactive grid creation, shader-based surface rendering, and stencil-driven editing systems. Learners progressively develop expertise in optimizing grid performance by applying chunking, vertex reuse, and caching strategies. Through detailed exploration of edge logic and stencil visualization, they will analyze triangulation flows, maintain crossing integrity, and ensure seamless mesh continuity across updates. A key focus is placed on identifying and triangulating sharp features to preserve geometric precision in complex topologies. The course concludes with robust software engineering practices, including code refactoring and structural extensions like voxel wall-building with depth. By the end of the course, learners will have built a fully functional, editable, and optimized voxel system in Unity, with reusable architecture suitable for real-time rendering and procedural content generation.
