Two ways to make a building: 1.If you are not going inside the building then I would make it as a single asset (Iwould recomend you start this way). 2. If you are going inside the building then build it like a quake 3 map. Which means you justmake wall textures to give you the impression you are in a building (or infront…
By quake method he means you don't make the whole exterior of the house. You only make a false front, like a stage set. This only works if the player is limited to traveling on one main street, and there are no spaces between the houses. Depends on your town style, and the gameplay. Unity should have no trouble with…
Is there any external software that measures how many draw calls are being used on the computer? Only the PRO Edition of Unity does this and I can easily tell that the bigger modular set uses less ram by at least 14MBs when compared to the smaller ones but I would like to compare more than FPS and RAM. Also I don't have…
Very good advice but it raises further questions :-P for one is there a way to remove the noise from my normal maps? It is an increasing issue on my part. Also I was wondering if anyone could help me on my modular issue? I still don't know if smaller pieces or bigger ones work well? Also the stones on the edge are using a…
Sounds like you are getting tied up in knots. I would recommend that you get a copy of UDK and take a look at the "Epic Citadel" example map. Looking at what you have made already I think it would make a good bench mark for you to aim at. Back in the good old days a quake mapper would have cranked out something of a…
I will :) Because we are now sort of getting some where! Ok so I have 2 tests, one is this building made up of tiny objects so lets say 6 different types of them that are instanced to form one building. These objects all contain the same 1024x2048 texture and I did some "Smart UV Mapping" to make them all fit together and…
Hey all I have been trying to finish this part of our game project for a while now and I keep running into walls. My first design made this building out of tiny set pieces which would form the walls on the inside as I build them but I guess the inside parts are supposed to be separate for games? This new design built each…
