Just finished the Foundations book. Excellent. Everything worked just like the instructions said. I did have a problem with adding a grass texture to a terrain object. I was painting grass but I could not see it. Turns out the grass asset was too short to see at the screen height I was at. When I previewed the game I could see the grass had painted just fine.

We are to import the tile.jpg for use on the ground block and then set the x and y tile settings to 10. It would seem that it did not tile correctly by default.
To correct this, I went into the import settings of the tile texture in the Inspector and made sure that “Wrap mode” is on “Repeat” and not “Clamp”. This made it look like the image in the book.
