Hey JustColorado, Pros would probably use a plugin :) I assume you've googled for building modular structures/things. Here's a tute that might help you get your head around what you are doing when you are creating modular features:…
Hi everybody! I'm doing a school assignment right now where we have to prepare pieces of a modular environment for use in UDK (the course doesn't actually teach UDK as it's a general 3D/animation/VFX course), but since I'm very focused on game development, I'll be taking my environment one step further and actually…
For anything non-modular that doesn't have exact measurements/surfaces, you can pretty much start from scratch in Zbrush, no need to really model by hand in the very beginning for that type of stuff. Of course you will just about always have to build a retopo somewhere else after (essentially you either model before or…
He's using modular, tiling geometry there. Each piece is unwrapped in a similar manner into the same UV space (independently), and with there being variations on the texture sheet, he is able to unwrap different pieces in new ways so as to reduce repetition and create a more natural, less tiled look. Study the…
This will be a long post so i will split it into multiple parts. Final Update on the Striker Zero I have been making thruster on mechs lately and considering they are quite common, i decide to make them modular so i can reused them later. Finished up the gun and detail
I've been in charge of reviewing portfolios. The quality isn't an issue, it's the fact that there are only three pieces. This might mean that those pieces took a long time to make, or that you have only been able to produce good assets for a short while. In either case the solution would be to get more experience. Another…
Hi, I'm working on a game-ready stylized house based on a concept by k cxxx and I'm still in the modeling phase, and I've run into a dilemma. I've tried to split the concept up into as many modular pieces as I can, but the problem I'm facing is what to do when it comes to texturing. Do I just bring everything into…
[LATEST] Hi all, Got a new deadline on my portfolio so I will be doing these 'small' environments every 2/3 weeks and hopefully have something nice in the end to show off on my portfolio :) Any feedback is greatly appreciated! I will use this thread to keep track of how I'm doing and for self-motivation ;)…
Hi everyone, i'm running out of time (and $$) to find a job so the last two months i've been really pushing to get more stuff finished and presentable for my new portfolio. While i'm still working on the layout itself, i'd be extremely grateful for any C&C on some pieces that will be going into the next version. I'l be…
