Re: environmental art
I've done tunnels and lots of wall sections via path deform and modular sections, and it definitely works quite well. For many architectural element, a modular approach is definitely the way to go. Depending on the type of game, you may not be able to do everything in modular sections, but for many man-made architectural… -
Re: environmental art
zbrush or mudbox is your friend, once you have learned to hi poly some environments, learn to subdivide them equally enough to take them into zbrush or mudbox and work in the organic details that make concrete look like concrete. Learn how to make things modular like lego in that it can interlock with itself and other… -

Re: environmental art
it's taken me a number of years to prove it, I was making modular stuff 4 years ago and getting told no but no one is telling me no anymore and all of the environment team work this way now. Sometimes its worth taking the beating. r. -
Re: environmental art
'Or you can wait a while and buy the next UT and check out the assets heh' hehe already checked them out. was working on the unreal engine at a previous company. I tried to champion the modular aspect, but was told to mind me business he he. seems I was proved right in the end -
Re: environmental art
our artists make every environment piece modular which really helps designing levels so much easier. Plus i think the unreal engine prefers more smaller meshes than big complex meshes. Having browsed through the UT demo, they definately make good use of this process. -
Re: environmental art
Yes I think the modular approach is the way to go as I was kind of getting in to this side of things before I started getting fully in to characters. I must admit I don't fully undertand the process yet, but I think for now I will just have a go at making some small test pieces and take it from there. -
Re: environmental art
The path deform modifier in max is a huge boost also for this approach. I tend to build a 256x256 wall with a few custom elements like a trim along the top thats 256x32. same at bottom and a small 8-16 height trim along the center. I then process the information on to a 1024by1024 flat bsp texture, apply it to a plane,… -
