Space Station Modular Environment

Erink9 · Apr 2014

Hi!
I'm working on a Space station interior hallway. I'm using 3ds for modeling, and assembling in UDK. Photoshop and Ddo for texture.

Reference sheet:

Here are my current modular pieces:

Here is a bare bones assemble in UDK:

With trim sheet

Crit and feedback appreciated!

Continuing to work on refining shapes and materials.

I've been building out further and creating new modular pieces to fill in for the ones I don't already have.

Updated textures and redid some UV maps. Still very much a work in progress:

Sometimes, atleast for me, it's really hard to come up with cool shapes when I'm constantly thinking about power of two and staying on the grid, so what I do sometimes is that I just try to model something cool, not caring so much about staying on the grid etc, and when I feel pretty happy with what I got, I use something like FFD 2 x 2 x 2 to just push it back on the grid. Works pretty good and is really nice for getting your imagination flowing.

Really mostly wall floor and ceiling parts tthat need to be power of 2, the rest of it like pillars and railings and need to be a certain height or width, and props it just dosnt matter at all just as long as there scale looks proper in the scene.

pillars and railings and need to be a certain height

The piping is a power of 2, same as my grid to help it snap together.

Added color to the railings, and a prop container:

Got some feedback and here is an update:

I remade some meshes and broke apart other ones.

Whoa, looking cool dude. Would definitely wanna walk around this environment in game

looking forward to seeing more!

Very inspirational dude. Im learning the modular workflow myself. Can you show your texture sheets? Im curious how you set yours up compared to mine. I made my hp floor pieces and trim pieces, baked them to a 1024x2048 plane. Then im making my lp pieces and just laying out the uvs how best theyd look. Not sure if your process was similar. Im subscribed though :-D

Chase: My texture sheets are done the same way, high to low bake, then textures w/Ddo and photoshop, and I am using a few, a 1024x 2048 for trim, but replaced that with a material. I just made a new one, but it's still rough, and I'm constantly changing it to look better.

Update on progress:

Erink9 · May 2014

Fixed/redid all maps:

Current progress of the level:

The material set up has been fixed in addition to the new trim sheet.

New post processing set up and new lights.

Decals added.

Nice work! Keep it up!

I'm not sure if I like the colored stripe decals, they are catching all my attention instead of the scene itself. Nice Scene anyways

Stripe and railing removed:
