Re: Beginner/Intermediate Question about the correct way to model a large, complex, interior
Yes. Modular environment pieces and tiling textures is roughly what you are after. I wouldn't even try to texture the modular components in the way you generally do for props, but use multiple different materials, decals, and overlapping UVs etc. So substance painter might not be the best option for this type of workflow.… -
Re: Urban architecture - improving my workflow baby!
The latest 3Dmotive modular tutorial video covers a building in the same era, could take some things from that, http://www.3dmotive.com/product-modular-building-udk You want a good amount of size for each modular piece, you'll get a few barely visable seams in UDK but the beauty of the pillars is that they can be floated… -
Tutorial Hoarder's Dump / Collage of tutorials hoarded over time
Greetings fellow Polycounters! I've had a stupid habit of trying to 'backup' nearly the entire supply of tutorials the internet has to offer, regarding game art, on my hard drive. In this thread I've tried to organize the unmanageable mess that I've made, into a somewhat readable/presentable form. Tried to pretty much post… -
Re: Clothes for a character - Best way to animate for unity?
When doing modular characters I usually skin up a base mesh first and then all of the clothing copies its weights from that base mesh as a starting point and then you refine and tweak any bits that didn't copy so well or are too divergent from the base mesh to accurately be copied. Also keep in mind that there isn't one… -
Re: Expertise and experience
I've often viewed this over the years as you unlock new areas the greater your skill increases. eg; Props (learn basic workflow, modelling,UVs,Normals) -> Env ( modular workflow, subD -> Zbrush -> more organic env) -> Vehicles/Weapons (advanced subD,Zbrush) -> Characters (encompasses/requires all previous skillsets) While… -
Re: Advice on Creating Exterior Houses
I am not sure how Cryengine handles CSG or BSP as it is called, but I can tell you that UDK buildings use BSP brushes to create the main geometry and then tiling Materials are applied to those BSP walls. Then you add all the pipes and windows and doorframes as separate meshes. This has 2 advantages: 1. you can have much… -
Re: Sketchbook: Alex Javor
Change of gears. Over the next several months I'll be helping a friend by taking over almost all of the art in a Mount and Blade inspired game. Here is some modular pieces for the strategy map. The goal here is maximum speed (in production) and modularity. Each set like this exist in a single 2k material with only an… -
Re: [UDK]Senior Project: Dark Days
Yea, this is a problem and its one of the most annoying in UDK when working with modularity. I recently done a research paper on modularity covering alot of different stuff, this is coverd amongst other things and polycount has a large section on modularity itself here… -
Something for everyone.
Today I have something for all areas of game art. A tutorial on modular sets by Philip Klevestav for the Environment Artists, an update on the LPC #3 for the Character guys and finally we visit cgchannel for Part 1 of a series of articles by Samy Fecih for the Animators. Tutorial - Modular Sets Modular sets. What are they… -
Re: Summer - Route 98
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…
