Hello! I wanted to share my ongoing progress I've been making on personal project in my free time. It's an environment based on Warhammer Fantasy setting. I got inspired by many artworks made for WFRP guidebooks and various concepts and miniatures depicting the Altdorf, capital of the Empire. Currently I fell rather good…
I am looking for games where i can learn while playing it. It can be environments, animations, vfx any genre really. But you gotta point it out. - I played games like AC Odysseys and learned a lot about trim sheets and modular buildings. -Played Hades and learn a lot about 2d game environments ?? What other games would you…
Looking good! As far as your questions: - Tri Count. Do enough to make it look good. It's hard to tell, especially if you're going to work modular. - I would work modular if it was me, but others may tell you differently. I find it easier to make changes and add/remove things when I have modular bits. I think it's easier…

Sure you can model complete scenes and then export your meshes separately. You might have a look at modularity. Polycount Wiki with tons of great links to this topic UDN Page about Modular Environment creation Lee Perry on Modular Level Design, might look outdated but everything works PDF Nate Stephens on Environment…
Here is a great little slide show made by a guy who worked on gears of war. http://www.kevinjohnstone.com/Help/Modular%20Environment%20Design.rar Basically you create one unique piece that sits on the grid, and has really modular UVs. Then you reuse that one piece in any way you can by creating new "lego" pieces out of it.…
Here are some of our characters: One of the biggest challenges was to implement modular characters into the game. Initially we were using Skankerzero's great tutorial on creating modular crowds as the jumping off point for us. As we developed our skill (We have never made characters previously) we learned that the things…
I made the entire floor a separate piece in itself (no modularity), I did it because i decided to not try and get this scene to work with modularity (focusing on just making the set pieces work with the beauty shot). During the highpoly I basically bend a sections of individual pieces of the floor (grating, upper…
I'm having a strange issue with some modular wall pieces that are curved and I can't for the life of me get these hard normal edges to soften out in Maya. I've tried to harden, soften, reverse the edges, manually set the edge normal angle and nothing will remove these seams. If I combine the modular pieces and merge the…
This environment was created using a modular building set combined with some texture modularity for optimal render efficiency while keeping texture resolution at a maximum. Please note that several of the terrain materials went unused because of the limitations of the Unreal engine. I could only get five working at a time,…
