Modular Cave Kit
Hello! I've been trying to make a modular cave kit like in Skyrim for a few months in my spare time and it would be greatly appreciated if you would give me some tips about how to make it more realistic, interesting or technically better, please. I used Blender to create the meshes and uvs, Substance Painter to export some… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
This is really interesting as it is,normally you could add some nocturnal animals like bats,spiders,mice...Or stuff like webs,cocoons, stalagmites from the ceiling...The torches are too bright, and too yellow for fire-light. I would play by reducing their lighting, make it a bit more red-ish and start adding some… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
I'm not sure about the lighting, I know Skyrim does it very light but then that is at the cost of realism. I think you have a good inbetween, though you could make the light of your torches a bit warmer. One thing Skyrim is really good at is directing the player, using the environment to tell you where to go. You should… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
Larry how can you have never played Skyrim? That's just shocking :) Hello LorasTyrell, I think you have some great ideas for making it more interesting and will surely also use them sometime. I also agree about the rocks being too high poly. I will optimize them soon but I also have another question about this: The 4k… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
Ooooh I like the light coming from the crack in the ceiling, but you should use that for your narrative! Put something interesting in that light because it will make it impossible for the player to not notice it -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
Hi, JamesofScotland, Great update- its really coming along! I had a few observations, most of which wouldn't take too much time to implement; I don't think you've set up reflection volumes in your cave yet ( I'm looking at the reflections on the shield, and see that they fall to black where they aren't picking up the spec… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
2 months later... Hi there! I've gotten further, changed the texturing and lighting and created lots of props to decorate a room in a cave. I would be very grateful if you would provide further feedback on how I could further improve it to commercial level quality? The latest screenshots are on… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
Hmmmm, I think your idea of using sculpted rocks sounds like a good idea. That will give them various shapes, and they can share the same generic rock texture to get the fine details. Like you say they're pretty smooth, some angles would look really good :) And your new lighting setup is really cool too, I like how you use… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
Well i haven't played skyrim but they could've added some soft lights around with small intensity. Always remember that even if there is 1 torch in the room, there is bouncing light. Reflection spheres give this ambient bouncing light. Don't mess too much with exposure if you have lights in your scene, as it will make them… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
Hi Larry, I have about 21 "small" cave meshes so far. Room pieces and hallway pieces. The lighting has been quite hard to try get right so far. I see that in Skyrim the caves seem to be lit up so much that you never need to carry a torch or cast the candlelight spell. I guess that in real caves it would be pitch black.…
