Hey guys, I'm currently trying to blockout a level for a game in 3ds max so I'm trying to make the walls and stuff as modular as possible for re-use. Hours in I realized that the vertex snapping isn't working as it should. Can someone help me figure out what the problem is? Also what would be the best max grid/snap…
We have links to modular/trimsheet/atlas tutorials here, in case it helps to see more examples and walkthroughs http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Modular_environments
what does a modular kit for a game? like several reusable aseets for staging?, thank you everyone for the tips I'm learning more everyday because everyone in this field is so cool.
It kind of bothers me how the environments try so hard to look bust up, while having super straight geometry. Tilt over some of the stairs' handrail, add a half broken step, make some real geometry dents in the walls (or even just move the vertices a bit) have heaps of fallen plaster. Make sure the keeper's room has some…
Hi Luxxa. I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I've generally been the artist that has to go around fixing all of these any time they happen -- and they happen terribly often, especially when you're working with modular geometry. The cause of the flashing dots is, supposedly, t-junctions. (i.e. Edges that are snapped together, but where…
@ KristianT - Regarding your question about making a scene in 3d app or in udk. If its for the rough size/volumes test u can do it in 3dapp. Not even need to get it into Unreal. It can be just for you to roughly estimate the possible size and composition of the scene. Basic boxes/cylinders r used in such case. Regarding…
Vig's got some good answers. To be fair to you, I personally think building modularity is quite a complex subject to tackle. Especially because there are so many ways to do it. So don't feel bad about asking questions. It's a great way to learn! Look for your building specs and texture sizes and then create it the way YOU…
Some friends and I were part of this year's studio layoffs so while we search for new jobs we decided to work on a game together! It's basically a simulator game where you run a book store, similar to TCG and Grocery Store Simulator but we've got some plans to push the genre farther. I've been mostly working on the…
Hello, I would like to share the process of creating my second pack of props that I am sending to the UE Marketplace, just like the first one, it deals with following a very specific style of content that we find in local neighborhood commerce, This volume is a completely modular and customizable newsstand. This work also…
