this was an advanced blockout from two weeks ago, i had to work on other projects but im back on this until the end. So far i have started the sculpture work on the pillars and i started building the main modular textures. should have much more to show at the end of the week.
The metal in the modular rail piece does not look like metal to me. It falls between wood and stone but in my opinion definately not metal. Also like the person above me said, some of the pieces use too many tris than they should, I would look into optimization more.
Hey guys, sorry for the large break. This environment is currently suspended while I work on a different piece for school. Feel free to follow along with my current project here: http://polycount.com/discussion/197974/ue4-wolfenstein-modular-sub-room-bombates-room/p1?new=1
Yeah ive done a bit of that mainly in skyrim and bioshock infinite, skyrim can give you some fantastic ideas for cornerstones modular design etc and the best thing is you can crack open the models and get them into max, which really gives you a look under the hood.
thanks guys, [not happy, but just to show the update] 1. New composition shot 2. Brick wall texture lighten abit New Problem. I made the modular walls, with non overlapping UV.. Yet I get some seem on Lit Mode. Any ideas whats going on ?
If this is for a game, you should be using a modular technique to build the environment. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Modular_environments First you create UV and materials for a set of interchangeable pieces, then you build the environment. Some assets, like the floating pear in the back there :) can use their own UV…
So here is an update i hope this shows my modular system for the new character hope for some good critics. http://youtu.be/ryvgQ-wVVhY by the way the character is fpr my new game project. The Carakter have 1.5k up to 2,3k Verts and use 3 Texturesheets 512²
No, I was planning to do that (I agree that it would add a lot), but basically ran out of time. I had a few false starts with the environment assets while I tried to figure out how to make it modular. I would like to go back and redo a lot of the environment stuff.
Finally finished this art piece. Took a lot longer, but I learned a lot from this project. This project was focused on creating a modular set. Everything is using a tileable texture except for the door which is a unique piece. For textures and more shots, check it out on artstation https://www.artstation.com/artwork/o9w6J
Typically for form-fitting armor like this, the final lowpoly in-game mesh will all be attached/welded into a contiguous mesh. Including the gray parts. Reasons you may to keep them separate: 1) modular character with swappable parts. 2) you need flesh under the armor to slide around a bit.
