ive been working on a robot for 18 years now .. more seriously - pre-substance painter our outsource partners would produce a set of modular assets (average 10-12 pieces) mapped, textured and lodded (5-7 handmade lods) in 20 days with feedback. This was first-party AAA content for ps4 speed comes from making good decisions…
I have observed that the difference between using StaticMesh and InstancedStaticMesh lies in the fact that, in the former, every time a 3D object is drawn on the screen, it generates 1 drawcall (not counting the textures associated with the model). For example, if a wall that is part of a modular kit appears 30 times in a…

@Buchananball Thanks! I'm definitely planning to use the modular workflow for this project. I already created some of the modular props including the pipes(3 parts), floor and wall, panels, wires, and monitors( 3 parts ). That's pretty much what I can think of now for using modular workflow. Rest of the props are unique.…
@Mr_Drayton: Thanks Mr_Drayton. I will post other modular stuff I have too, that are more sophisticated :) The thing is I am all about procedural level generation, so I have to make stuff modular. But A LOT of people in this thread make far better modular geo and textures here, and what I think should become the standard…
So if I'm working on a game that will make use of modular pieces from which the player can build their own vehicles. Is it best to use a dynamic texture atlas or a texture array? If I'm understanding this correctly, it's 1 draw call per shader(material) but if I have 3 modular pieces using the same material with 3…
Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. I'm a student in Game Art & 3D Animation and I just recently finished a school project focusing on modular assets. I decided to create another environment with modular assets. After watching Brian Recktenwald's masterclass on environment design, I decided to apply his workflow. I made…
Hi folks! I posted here a few months back and got a lot of great responses--unfortunately, the artist we hired has had to step back due to family issues, so we're looking for someone to pick up where he left off. Our studio is currently developing a fantasy strategy RPG in Unity. The game is 2.5D, utilizing 2D character…
I imported the walls in Unreal Engine and created some of the assets needed for the castle ruins using the modular pieces. I think they look fine, although the real-world ruins are better preserved than my rendition. Image 1 - Castle Ruin assets assembled with the modular wall assets I created also a material for the…
It really depends what your goal is. If you want flexibility or your scene is going to be large then a modular workflow wins hands down but if it's a one off or smaller scene then what peanut has said would be an easier way to go, just model all your buildings as one static mesh. You can always add an extra material for…
