    This was a great video on the nuts and bolts of modular building. I notice you didn't use any of the corner pieces in the assembly part. That part was a tad confusing, but other than that, well done video.

      @@chaosfreak55 glad to hear it! I tried to explain it from more of a principles perspective and for it to be more agnostic of any one software.

    And about export...we have to export one single file with all modules or one by one in separated files?

    Thank you for showing this. I notice in a lot of modular asset videos, many people don't seem to use "duplicate special" to create instanced versions of their modular assets, which strikes me as odd since. Do you have any thoughts on when you prefer to instance vs make copies of meshes?

    • @KurtBernardin
      @KurtBernardin  Рік тому +1

      There's actually a tool that can easily switch things between a copy or an instance so you don't have to worry about committing to one way or the other. I have a video on this here: ua-cam.com/video/Fb4meOO6D48/v-deo.html

    Very good, but you forgot the backdoor and the fire escape LOL. Shouldn't you texture the pieces first to save time later?

    • @KurtBernardin
      @KurtBernardin  2 місяці тому

      I've found that when you're typically building a modular kit, you will go back and forth between modeling, UVing, and texturing until you find what works best to complete the building. Maya has a Replace Objects Tool that will let you update all copies of your geometry relatively quickly. If you're making assets for a game engine, once you update the one asset, it'll update every instance.

      @@KurtBernardin I use 3ds max. One day I will try maya. I have made this layout before, and it is so annoying when you think you got everything covered in the sheet, and you forget something LOL. Was only joking about the fire escape heh heh

    Greetings, first of all thanks for the video. Do we use different material for each mesh or one material for all of them, like trimm sheet?

    • @KurtBernardin
      @KurtBernardin  10 місяців тому +2

      I think that's entirely dependent on the needs of the project. A trim sheet would be the most optimized way to set this up. For this particular building, I only setup four materials (seamless brick, seamless concrete, seamless black metal, and glass). If I were to push this further, I would probably add some additional unique props that would require their own unique materials.

    In combo with Bifrost the assembly could be automated! Have you explored that idea?

    • @KurtBernardin
      @KurtBernardin  Рік тому

      I’ve never been able to invest enough time into Bifrost to do very much. It’s certainly on my list to learn. Would it made it so I can just type in a number value and it deals with the height/width of the building?

    How much would you charge to build modular building/architecture kits (no texturing needed)

    how do you duplicate with equal spacing? (i.e.. time 5:20)

    • @KurtBernardin
      @KurtBernardin  9 місяців тому +1

      Shift-D is the shortcut for "Duplicate with Transform". It mimics the transform you did previously and adds to it. This works with translate, rotate, and scale.
