3D Modelling Techniques: Modular

[UE4] Modular Building Set Breakdown

The link above provides a thorough run through of a 3D Artist designing and building modular assets for buildings, which is something to consider for my Final project.

The artist makes a point of analysing photo reference to capture key elements of buildings that can be reused and re purposed, even detailing a method that allows for the colours to be switched using colour overlays in Unreal.

He uses PBR maps, using a workflow similar to a metallic/roughness workflow outlined by Allegorithmic Documentation (McDermott, 2015) Utilising Base Colour, Metallic, Specular and Roughness maps, each using inputs from 0 to 1.
