Help with texel density and modular environment
Hi all, I need some help on figuring out what will be the best way to approach a test I received. The test is a not-so-hard environment with a texel density of 128 px/m. I can get the right density with a script for 3ds max but what to do when it comes to modular pieces? The UV become so small that the textures can't be… -
Any guides to building modular metropolitan sidewalks and roads?
Ive been curious on the best method for creating modular pieces for sidewalks and roads in a major city scene. Do people usually include sidwalks and street pieces in one modular piece? Maybe a straight piece for long straight streets and cap pieces for intersections? Then would you just wrap these pieces around block… -
Modularity flow advice
Hiya! So, yes, I am doing a sci fi hallway!!! It's practice for a job so it makes sense. I've done a modular layout. Its my first go at this style of environment creation and would LOVE some professional advice if anyone can be bothered. Here is the breakdown 2 things to note 1. I'm going to make a blast door (not in… -
Modular Buildings - how much to break apart?
Hello, just wondering what you guys think should be the cutting points for modular pieces. I was thinking, each floor(duh), but also cutting each floor into 4 sides. I was considering this because of occlusion culling. The player won't be able to see all sides of a building at one time in most games. Plus, if it has equal… -
iPhone - modular Harbour enviroment
Modular Harbour Some time ago I posted some pictures of a low poly ship I made for an iPhonedemo and I thought it needs a harbour. So my programming-buddy gave me 8k triangles for the hole harbour mesh. I did some research on the buildingstyle of cities like Portobelo and Cartagena: concepts modular buildings: after alot… -
Re: Specular difference between modular assets?
UDK does some weird stuff when flipping or rotation normal mapped assets, if you make a square floor piece, and rotate instances next to each other it will shot the problem. So PITA solution, make a single larger modular piece to replace the many smaller modular pieces, or use a lot of trim geometry to cover it up. You're… -
Re: An Attempt at Modularity (European Building)
ur so mean Mario, SO MEAN !!! but yeah besides that, I don't think this shows modularity in a good way, since you could have built that mesh uniquely without it being different or more optimized, the base principle of modularity is re-usability, if this doesn't work, then you can consider this a more or less failed… -
Learning Modular Design
Hello, I have decided to teach myself modular design, and the 3d modeling pipeline and workflow for hard surfaces from 3DS Max 2012 to UDK. For texturing I am using PS CS5. The model is very simple, only 22 total verts. I pick a very simple road to start with, and would like some input and some critics on my overall… -
Question about UV modular buildings
How would I make a building modular? From what I understand I would build the entire building, then take certain objects out of it like doors by detaching them and moving them away, taking said doors and unwrapping them then rendering out the UV and exporting the doors to texture them, this way it would be modular and you… -
