Well you're not starting simple. Yes you should go modular, and you should go procedural. I used cityengine once, dno how it is these days. Studios tend to make their own solutions based on houdini, but there are other softwares and plugins around.
Thank you guys for the tips. I toned down the yellow! I also started working on the modular pieces for the train. So far the modeling is down, next comes texturing. I plan to make some simple tile able materials to use. :)
Geezus, great lighting ! Nice use of modularity too. The simulated cloths look great and are a nice touch, and I definitely agree the carpet could use some beating up, maybe folded over a bunch? Show us some breakdowns sometime!
Ah yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I wasn't planning on making any major changes.I think there are just times when I'm looking at concepts and I just want to change little things for the sake of modularity, which I'm assuming is acceptable.
Most of the assets for big name games are built using one of a few large outsource studios that are capable of providing hundreds of staff for a project. internally the number will be much smaller. Turnaround time for an average set of modular props will be anywhere between a week and a month.
Hi, i like your work. Are you going to model a circular element on the floor or are you going to just texture it on a plane? For what are pipes are you thinking about make them modular? One time i have seen something like this:
so how do you go about figuring the sizes of modular pieces? Do you have any preset ideas like a wall should be x units tall by x units high and corner pieces should be a certain size, etc... ?
A few days ago I got the commission from Trinigy to rework the City map and do a modular version as a basis for larger maps. All the input I got here will help me to improve the quality beside that, so thanx again for the comments :)
Looking for a MEL script to change grid size in Maya by powers of 2. Its annoying to go through this manually every time I want to change the grid size when working on modular sets. Anyone know of one? Im pretty useless when it comes to programming it myself.
