3DForge Exteriors

Hi everyone,

In answering a question from the 3DForge Discord channel - Join us

Royal Quarters Add-on Package:
Please note, this is not an UPDATE or FREE

It is a Paid for Texture and prefab Add-on package that will have the Village Exteriors Kit as requirement to be able to use.
It is not far from being done

I am working on a NEW Roof Set that will be part of this. *** Some of the contents for the Royal Quarters Package (more to be added before release)
- 6 New Wall Textures.
( Tilable left to right from the start )
( Working on second sheet that will very possibly be included with brighter colours )
- Roman type Roof tile texture.
- Lower pitched roof mesh and prefabs added.
- New wooden textures for Frames, Window Frames, and other wooden items.
- BLUEPRINT set of handcrafted buildings using all these new Add-on items
( Should be round about 20 BLUEPRINTS )
- ... will see what more can be added ...

I am looking at getting things done by the weekend if I can help it, so soon soon

Cheers
Cobus

Hey everyone,

WIP Royal Quarters Add-ons package for the Village Exteriors Kit

Had an idea and quickly tested What about adding Tris with the Stone Texture from the Castle and Cathedrals Update. I think it worked out well So 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 Units wide Stone Tries also coming with this package What can also be noted is that the slope/angle is the same as Thatch, meaning nice towers and stuff with the thatch mixed with the Stone textures can also be done.
Like stables, barns and such in a castle, fort kind of setup.

Hi,

Almost ready !!!
Screen tests WIP Royal Quarters Add-ons package for the Village Exteriors Kit
Dumped them into the included DEMO scene from Meadow Environment - Dynamic Nature

What adds lots of value is the fact that all the buildings in all the villages and locations does not have to just be the normal Medieval style with browns and greys. With the great vibrant colors and the Easter/Oriental Themes added contents you can add building that will also act as memorable landmarks and locations. The Town-hall and other government type buildings can for instance conform to a certain style that can be achieved through a color scheme choice. A certain Merchant Organization of Thief's Guild can have their buildings done in a chosen colors scheme. All these things so that when you get to a new location you with game play experience can already assume certain things and interact with the environment and story in a natural way. It all helps to build immersion and a better game experience.

I will Update this right at the end but here is a small rundown ( HAHA, was just going to be textures, but you know me
- 6 New Wall Textures. < EASY Drag & Drop Texture replacement >
- New Main Wood Textures.
- New Low Angle Roof set. <3 - 4 Styles>
- New Roman/Eastern Style Roof-tile texture.
- 20 Medieval Building Handcrafted Premium BLUEPRINTS
- 311 New Meshes / Prefabs. < Many of which are Eastern/Oriental Themed elements >
- 5 Brighter Color Bonus textures. (one empty slot for future addition according to customer feedback) Bamboo Wall Texture included.

have u ever considered switching those photobased textures and normals to some substances or zbrush sculpts?
u obviously have experience with modular modelling.
however i think the textures could be improved.

 

I don't think those would work with the atlased textures

 

i ment using substance to design the normals and height and base the albedo and roughness on those. u can still atlas the generated textures

 

For any NEW packs from 3DForge then maybe - as long as they can fit in with existing 3DForge packs. I know that there's a lot of work goes into these textures so that there's a resemblance of the source material but that's about it.

I'm getting a line separating two levels of focus that moves with my player. Closer to the camera, in focus, a little farther out the textures become out of focus. Also, I don't know if they are related but if I turn around 180 this is what happen to the shadow. It's cut off at approximately the same place away from the camera.

 

Unity is swapping in mipmaps on the floor because of the angle. This is normal.
To make this better, but consume more resources, do the following:

On your textures, turn "anisotropic" up. This will mean that mipmaps turn on at a greater angle. You can force it on all textures in your quality settings.
In addition, change "bilinear filtering" to "Trilinear" - that will make it fade in the mipmap smoother by fading them with the higher level.

Note: you have to do this texture by texture. You should do this on wall/floor/ceiling textures.

On the shadow, not sure, could be a cascade. might try changing your shadow distance and cascades in the quality settings.

 

Thanks @Jaimi for the friendly help
I do not build games so when I saw the question I had no idea what to answer back.
Great also for others to see and am sure will help others that might have had the same question in the past or future
Thanks
Cobus

 

Thanks! That fixed it!

 

One of the best things about the Unity Community, people helping each other

 

Hey everyone,

A quick screen grab of the inside of one of the larger Fishing Village Houses
Props are a mix of Village Interiors Kit & Village Exteriors Kit prefabs
I just added some basic Point Lights here to cast some basic shadows and create a bit of atmosphere, but that is going to be for each user to add and tweak to suit their needs.
Will drop more images soon.



Cheers
Cobus

 

Really nice...

 

Cant wait to get this package!

 

These blueprints are amazing.

 

Never gets boring to hear this
They are lots of work and it is cool to hear back the value that they provide
It was an idea that I hoped for and am glad that it is achieving that.
Thanks for your and everyone else's positive response on them

 

Yeah, I love the Blueprints. I purchased 3 premium blueprints the other day and they all have tremendous value.

 

I am so glad you are making these!
