glad it helped buddy

Yes, I'll be revisiting this, this year will update you when I have the new video :)

hey bud, you can usually change your view to orthographic or maybe the opacity of the image needs to be lowered

Thanks Henry, I though you were doing a UV unwrap on the mesh. So, you're just using the background, and do the mesh the same size of the background, correct. I made a video of what I though you were doing. To show it deformed the mesh: nearfy.com/loopCuts_deforms_the_UV.mov

did you find out how to do this, i'm stuck on this part!!

I believe ctrl + num +

@@Mumladze28 thank you so much!!!

@@d.andreea8419 you're welcome

Like, i can't move the loop cut down to the step like you do, it pulls the image with it

Yeah, You have to Add a box in a new scene, Add a loop cut in edit mode, once you've done that step, Press T to bring your Tool ( Left Window ) Bar out, Down the bottom you'll see a tab Seperate, Under Factor where the Slider is there's a box that says 'Correct UVs', Make sure it's Ticked, THEN, Delete the box, Add a new box to the Scene and Press CTRL + U (That will save your Blend Scene WITH Correct UVs Enabled so you never have to correct UVs again, It will also work with Double Tapping G (it will move the vertices across an axes WITHOUT stretching the UV coordinates, Hope this helped.

Dude u moved VERTICES, and still had a still picture. HOW???

k he used gg (edge slide) there. These are the only two things that preserve UVs.

You did this in the video when?

you mean when I add loop cuts? or in general, depending on how I model, I usually create a second uv and bake from the first. this case they're overlapping uvs. if you mean when I add loop cuts and the uvs don't diform, when you add a loop cut. there's an option in the bottom right (press t) tick it and it will conform so you can keep the uvs straight, another way is double tap g to move a verticy across an edge

are you in orthographic view ?? (5) and are you in a singular view? (front, back, side etc) also and for the picture on the plane, you need to UV project view the plane, and add the texture to the plane THEN, go into textured mode where you will see it.

are you using the background image or a plane? add my skype haytchey

+FoundationsofPause You might be thinking about edge slide with G G

Thank you both. I use GG often but my flow has always made me unwrap again after modeling more. Never knew about that checkbox for correct UVs in T Panel.

Deanna Mcaboy it's hiesen white or cherry menthol lol

had my volume up and the vaping gave me a good jump scare haha.

sorry for late reply, Preserve UV's in the tools tab on the left side ( you have to add a loopcut and then look down the bottom

That's because you don't have to move, you have to slide it.

cuz the uv mapping gets messed up. One more thing you could do is go into orthographic and unwrap by project from view

thanks, the rest will be added tomorrow

you are professional or is just fun? Thanks for sharing!

I'm semi professional, Working my way into the industry, But this is how I taught myself (im a self learned Environment artist, Taught myself) I spent years trying to watch other videos to learn bits and bobs, so now I want to help the community as much as I can.

+InzombiaGame thanks for the videos and congratulations

thanks dude, more videos being uploaded for this btw Its not quite finished!

1:30 - 1:35

mine too

Douda Andreea have you worked out how to fix this?!

@@jamiebishop6109 Yes. when you add a loop cut you have in the left panel an option "CORRECT UVS", just check that and it should work!

Hotkeys: E = Extrude - G is Move in any Direction, With G pressed you can press X Y or Z to chose a axis to modify, R is rotate, S is scale and the XYZ Applys to all of them :), Ctrl Right Click on an Edge selects the loop Hope this helps

yeah lol sorry

Gus Gelber I don't see why not?

You have to make it low poly and you can only use 1 texture so it's trickier.

press G

If it doesn't deform and it's flat surface tris are fine everything gets merged in a game building,prop

I do use Maya now, yes all of this you can do in Maya too :)

InzombiaGame If you had access to both, which would you prefer? I see that there might be more tutorials and such for blender more than Maya, at least the free ones

Geryalvi Batista at first I would have said blender but now I prefer maya, it takes a while to learn but is easier and more studios want you using it

MetroworldTV I could follow along just fine. This is more like a workflow tutorial, considering that you would maybe model different building. So you would start with the windows, then, storey etc. But this isn’t beginner friendly video.

You should learn to use the 3D tool before watching this. If you don't know how to use the application it's your fault, not his. -_-

What is a vertice? Do you mean vertex?

Hiesen white xD

Not if he plans on baking out normals from the geometry.

Not even that, it's an outdated method and definitely not the way I'd approach modular buildings anymore

@@HenryKellyGameArt Respectfully so, that being said I am yet still just a humble student so if you have a video on making modular buildings that isnt outdated I would greatly appreciate being directed there.

@@HenryKellyGameArt So ill take that as a no?

@@blackpowerentertainment2281 I currently don't but I'll be moving to a new studio next week so I may have time to make a new one.

@@HenryKellyGameArt Thank you ill sub and keep an eye out

If you're using Blender press CTRL E on the edge and click slide edge.

If you add a loop cut and keep the tool open you can click on 'preserve UV's' then Save it as default and it always works :)

Remember to double tap G to slide the vertices though

Actually, autosmooth does still triple the polycount, anything with beveled edges does, it's how the engine reads it, But yeah I agree, I use autosmooth now and don't even touch edge split anymore, all it does is separate faces, pretty useless if you ask me, and yeah trim sucked like shit, i gotta re-do this video and make it better

Yeah i didnt knew for autosmooth haha, when i have it the number of verts doesnt seems to change! Anyway thanks for the tuto ! But how will you make materials? its in a later part?

ah, they're all tiled textures, so just apply brick to all the brick area and make sure the uv's are setup for tiling and same for concrete etc, then you can just dress the building with assets and decals, I really should do an updated version of this now I work in the game industry lol, I have way more knowledge now!

Oh yeah the result is nice, but can be better without tiled texture i believe (but im not an expert) You should try the robo recall scene in unreal engine 4 and analyse the different modular buildings in it, and the texture Personnaly I really dont know how they ve made the textures and I'd love to know!

Dhieen nearly all buildings use tiled textures for texel Density ratio, i.e, a 4m wall will use a 4k texture, and that will be 1k per 1m, or 1 texel per meter, so using a 4k texture on a 24 m high building would loose resolution, so most buildings use trim sheets and tiled textures, finish up with a secondary material vertex painted and also decals xD

dligac in the tools menu left hand side, when you add a lookout there's a box to tick saying preserve uvs

I completely agree with you man! If i did this now I'd do it a thousand times different, this isn't actually modular, as i once thought, It's a means to have a modular Building set, but to make a kitbash set i'd have done it all VERY very different, the UV's don't tile from mesh to mesh and this building pieces are too specific, I will re-do this video at some point! but thanks for pointing that out! Also, about the edge split, I don't particularly use it anymore However, It does double vert count, but once it's imported into the engine, it usually splits edge via the engine anyway, just made sure the normals are fine

Do you know a better tutorial about modular building for games and if so, would you add a link in here?

yep

tachiArt this is a bit advanced video i.e, it’s not for people who are new to blender

yeah a building with 1 face is possible too....the topo and polycount depends on the level of details you want, this model is good, it's standard. and one more thing please say at least thanks before multiplying the guy's work by zero like you did. the guy was ill and talked for one hour.

It is not that high in polycount and...if you make lowpoly version this would not be a problem for any engine.
