Tutorial time: Modular sets

[PhilipK]

Hi there I put together a tutorial about working with modular sets of units.

I plan to add some more ideas and techniques I've come across working with modular pieces before. To make sure it won't get too long I plan to break it up in two versions as well.. One more step by step tutorial only going in on basics. And one with a lot of text going more indepth on things.

The idea is to have a tutorial that is pretty general and not so "step by step" howto build a specific set.

Anyway, you can see the "first draft" here:

Very useful!

[PhilipK]

Thanks a lot guys, Very appreciated that it can be of any use

I'm gonna finish this up asap and hopefully move on to another one... Got a question on pcount to do a rock/nature tutorial (also modular units) and I thought that might be something even tho much of the steps are the same there are some things I found easier to do in a slightly other order and some other things when it comes to texturing, clipping and capping your models when you're working with nature or very destroyed building stuff.

Good idea Mino, I'll try and dig em out.

This is very cool, and a tutorial on a nature/rock set would be absolutely awesome.

The tutorial is on the front page of Polycount

Nice tut!

[PhilipK]

damn thanks guys nice find pogo btw. Glad to see it was of interest for some of you

As I said on PCount, next up should be a rock/nature modular one and possibly an all photoshop brick/cobble one where I go through some effects really easy to achieve with photoshop only when it comes to those kind of materials without any sculpting/modelling necessary (tho you can mix that result with some sculpting as well).

W00T! Thanks for this, Philip. I've been getting more and more into modular design, this is definitely going to be a big help.
