Essential Tips for Modular Building

#3dart #blender #gamedev
A few important tips for making modular kits or buildings.
Using snapping and linked duplicates

This is an awesome approach to building out tile sets for waveform collapse.

Great tips! Another idea, if you're making specifically square-shaped pieces, is that you can fit them to the exact size of blender's snapping, or make them to a specific size and adjust blender's grid increments. Then you can move them while holding ctrl to snap along the grid and always have them line up with the grid.

I spent 2 days looking for this! thanks boss

Pretty cool. I think I'd use an array modifier for the duplication part once the initial copy is aligned is the only thing I'd try differently.

Your Udemy Ogre(even if i dont like stylized) course was a masterpiece you are a great teacher

[petarivancevic]

Got two of your courses on Udemy. Your tutorials are very helpful and sort of meditational. Thank you for your contributions

[Mojikaji]

Your the only good blender teacher iv found. Me and a friend (who is a good coder while I’m more of a 3d modeller but do both) are going to be making a game together and your designs are a good guide and will make it much easier and iv been looking to do a good landscape so this video is perfect. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Grant. You are a great teacher to me. Great tips as always. Much appreciated.

Another great tip from a master of design! Thanks!

When you duplicate a linked duplicate, does the new duplicate keep the linked property?

[steprockmedia]

Your vids are always so practical, with obvious application.

tbh, that is maybe a solution if you stay in your 3D Software or in BLender but thats not the way to go if you create game ready assets. When i am in UE i dont wanna edit all Assets till they fits

What is a good example of low poly animation? The answer you have would be really helpful. Thank You in advance.

okay, how difficult was it to change the pivot point to snap the piece to a specific vert? wow.

great little tip for modular building in general tho

From India with love, learnt a lot from you 🤠😎😎

Modular building for games.. Use trim textures and strips

[Lutzow]

This was a great tip :) You're a mensch!

Hey grant, love the tutorials. I'm new to 3D design and have a question about topology.
with the extruding bricks on the wall that add texture, do they cause topology problems?
And when and why would I want to add more loop cuts to the base of the extruding parts?

[GordonSeal]

With Blender 4.0 you don't need to move the origin anymore to snap the object to a desired vertex.

Hi, great tutorial as always. I don't know if you can help but I have a problem with my 3d objects. So I have a tile set with 7 3d objects and all have one 2k texture that use all the objects and shared one material. When I view the 3d objects inside unity from a specific distance or angle emission color from the objects lamp appears like outline at the edges of a different 3d objects for example column of the tile set. I could fix the problem if I separate the emission color with the creation of a second texture that have inside the light source objects. But I was wondering if there is a better way. Thanks.
