Modular Modeling Showcase

I've been doing some modular pieces for Hellraid. I had some time to work with that I'm 100% happy with the result. The task now is to add some modularity breakers and I'm not talking about props to hide corners but shapes that don't fit modular pieces "by design", like rooms that have curvy walls or stuff like that. Here's a shot of what has been done (a bit old):

I'm also using different decorations for each piece:

Here's how it works:

BTW I wrote some articles about that but it was done on the hurry and for gamers, not developers so there are mostly basic pieces

I did some modular prefabs for the ground and walls of my last finished scene. It is not a really complex set, but it did work well enough.

Here is the scene:

(And a Video showing the scene:

)It was interesting to make. The main issue is the specular in UDK that does not render correctly when the lights are baked (I guess because every parts are rotated differently and there must be something wrong with the code that generates the baked speculat using the normal map.... ? ).

Fortunatly, once the scene is lit and completed they are not really obvious.

That's a very interesting read, HP! Thanks
