Re: Building Modularly....Advice
You could create 5 different textures for the same building blocks but if you only changed the texture of near identical looking buildings it's gonna be noticeable. The bottom line is you want a set of modular pieces which can be combined in a variety of ways to produce noticeably different buildings and structures. On top… -
Re: Buildings... High Poly > Low Poly?
"Sculpting" buildings isn't exactly the most commonly used method. Think of a building made up of small pieces, or "legos" as Jordan described. You build a badass wall, a badass door, a badass window, an air conditioner, a fire escape, etc. and build your buildings out of those pieces. This allows you to have a HUGE amount… -
[PAID] Looking for 3D Environment Artist (UE4 Tactical FPS)
Hello, I am seeking an experienced environment artist with knowledge in modular building kits for both exterior and interior sets. The project is called BankRupt, an 80's dark cyberpunk tactical FPS multiplayer game. Our buildings will be procedurally generated and placed so we need proper modular sets to make that work.… -
Re: Medieval Town
ok i gave a reply but then scrapped it, and here i go again The way you are building this can work. One thing you need to be aware of when importing very thin meshes in a game engine, is that the light will start bleeding on the inside. But the way you are making this, it might be okay. The light will bleed on the inside… -
Re: Amir's Portfolio environments
@SimonT : thanks man :) thanks ! well I rely a lot on the grid and try to have my models fit in a bounding box which has power of two extents. (8,64,128,256,512 etc...or 384, 160 in some cases). There is an interesting paper written by Kevin Johnstone which deals about how he approached the creation of modular models and… -
Re: Problem with texturing non modular environment with repeating textures
This kind on "unique" building can still be made with modular parts. I see a lot of repetition there. Don't forget, you can still mix in unique elements into modular sets, and even make large unique pieces that snap to smaller ones. A lot of power there! So apparently you've already built your models, but unfortunately you… -
Re: LOW-POLY ART
@Mr_Drayton: Thanks Mr_Drayton. I will post other modular stuff I have too, that are more sophisticated :) The thing is I am all about procedural level generation, so I have to make stuff modular. But A LOT of people in this thread make far better modular geo and textures here, and what I think should become the standard… -
A couple general environment art questions
Hi guys. Just a couple general questions regarding environment art. 1. I see people talk about using a “second UV channel” for things like rocks. Is this the same as just overlaying a tiling detail normal on top of your base textures in UE4? 2. When building modular, I see people say “it will scale up nicely” when using a… -
How to approach texturing this?
Hello :) I have done some looking around on the wiki here and various (tons) of youtube videos and everything seems so be very specific to the task at hand and Im struggling to find a concrete answer of what is the best practice for texturing modular buildings. - So I'll use an example: lets say I was going to model the… -
Steampunk Batmobile, "steampunk new history competition" WIP
I've been working on a project for 3d model's steampunk new history competition (located here if your interested in it https://3dmodels.org/steampunk-new-history/ ) I decided to go with a steampunk batmobile, located in a Victorian Gotham. I've been working on it the last month or so for a few hours every night. Here's a…
