Richard A. Hawley

Richard Hawley started programming in the early 1980s at the start of the home computer craze with the Sinclair ZX-81. Before leaving high school he had worked on three game projects for Assassin Software and later worked on conversions of classic strategy board games for 8- to 16-bit machines. He went on to develop end-user tools for popular flight simulations including Empire Interactives Enemy Engaged helicopter series and the highly successful Origin Janes Longbow series (MissioneerPlus). Hes the director of Tricubic Studios, a small UK company dedicated to creating simulation and training environments using off-the-shelf 3D engines including Unity and Leadwerks. Together with technical artist David Hopkinson (Total War: English Civil War conversion) and physics guru Fred Naar (creator of Helicopter Total Realism for Microsoft Flight Simulator X) they are collectively known for their work on helicopter simulations.

Workspace panel


All of the editing functions we'll be using are located in two main areas of the interface; the Tool panel and the Workspace panel. Both of these panels are headed by two rows of tabs which we make good use of, so get familiar with them.

The first row is like a master mode and the second row of tabs gives access to the submode. The Workspace panel is located to the left-hand side of the viewports in the default interface layout.

Workspace tab

Workspace is an overview of what our current scene contains, scene settings, layers, and any objects we're using.

Scene tab

The scene tab allows access to how a scene is rendered and contains settings for the camera field of view (FOV), camera range, lighting, and fog. This is illustrated in the following image:

We can adjust how a fog is rendered by changing the color and range through the scene.

  1. Click on the Workspace master mode (first tab icon).

  2. Select the Scene tab to bring up the scene tree.

  3. Right-click on the Fog node and select Properties...
