I've never actually done one of these though. I think everyone has to have done at least one right? :D Anyways, I managed to scoop up Substance Designer during the summer sale and decided to give it a test run with a new environment for my portfolio. COMPLETE:…
This is kind of last-gen, but should give you some ideas about how far you can take modular assets. Dig further back in the thread to find the modular bits. https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/1650367/#Comment_1650367 Gears of War info is here, just search the page for Kevin Johnstone:…
Thanks to a relatively slow day at work, I've been able to get a little bit done on this so far. I've done a quick pass at marking out the different pieces for the scene, Its a pretty basic break down. I figured i'd try and keep the different assets as modular as possible, as i know i need the practice on modular pieces.…
I did a 24 hour marathon once. only lasted 18 waking hours but I finished an entire skyrim inspired environment. It was good training, and I learned alot in the process. As for your goals, I dont think a 2 week environment is unreasonable; especially if you are taking a modular approach. When I was in school we had 2 weeks…
Hey those tutorials really impressed me. I honestly thought you were a industry veteren or something. It was a really good idea to put them in. Any employer looking at those would be impressed by your knowledge. You've taken a great approach to building a portfolio. Making impressive looking scenes built of modular assets.…
For the environment, it appears you're on the right track. As for texture seams/repeating, that's up to you to keep your textures clean and seamless when repeating. This can be a pain in the ass until you get used to doing them. Also, try making 2-3 custom window sections. This will help reduce the repeated look. When…
Since the entire scene is repetitive pieces, decided to build a few modular pieces I could work with and unwrapped these few pieces . Imported the pieces to Unreal, and started filling up the initial blockout with the modular pieces and used materials from Megascans library. I thought Ill put in the few filler props that I…
Hey Kali, wicked choice of concept, it looks awesome. Just a quick question, will you do a Modular and UDK block out before creating all the assets in the environment? Your models and bake both look great. They are very clean, have nice details and I look forward too seeing your progress. I might be wrong and I've…
Hello everyone! I have the pleasure to attend a 10-week CGMA's UE4 Modular Environment course by Clinton Crumpler. It is an amazing opportunity to learn plenty of new techniques and build a high standard portfolio piece. I would love to share my progress and get some feedback from you! Idea: I am a huge fan of the Metro…
Hi everyone! This is my first post here! I’ve decided to overcome my fear and try creating an environment for the first time. So far, I’ve made a blockout in Maya and visualized it in UE5. The next step is to break it down into high-poly and modular assets. I’ll do my best not to abandon it and to finish it to the end. I’d…
