Course Meshery

Course Meshery

Course Meshery is an open-source tool, created by OpenGolfSim, that converts a course SVG file and raw terrain file as input and exports a collection of meshes that conform to the terrain height. This makes it easy to layout your golf course in a vector program, like Inkscape and automatically generate 3D models you can easily import on top of your terrain into Unity.

Generating Meshes

To generate your meshes:

  1. Open OGS Meshery
  2. Set the SVG file for your course
  3. Set the RAW terrain file for your course
    • If you made any changes to the terrain in Unity, make sure you export a new RAW file from your terrain settings.
  4. Set the Output Folder we should write the meshes to.
  5. Set the terrain height scale. (Usually found in your terrain stats CSV file)
  6. Click Generate Meshes to start the process.
  7. Once completed the generated OBJ files should be found in the output folder you selected.

The OGS SDK for Unity contains an import tool for automating the process of importing these meshes and batch assigning their materials. Follow the Unity SDK guide for importing and customizing meshes.

Note: Fow now, after importing the obj files into Unity, you likely need to manually reposition the imported mesh to line up with the terrain. It should be some variation of the terrain width height set on the x,z values in unity (try positive negative or halving the width/height). We’re still working on this bug.
