Texturing Update

remember This is a modular asset

Next Update is now on page 2





Thanks for your votes so far.

 

Looking good!

 

I hope so New York is a killer to build lol

Thanks

 

I like it, looks nice so far.

 

are you still making the apocalypses series?

and loving this asset btw

 

Wow, pretty generous thing you guys are doing. Considering the effort and time needed for this.

 

Thanks

yes the apocalyptic world series is still in the works.
Part 2: Rundown Suburbs has been submitted and will be live very soon

There is not many city builders on the asset store and nothing to resemble New York so its a must really lol

 

Your welcome!

 

It is very astounding how much you have managed to do in such a short period of time.
Both the models and the textures look really good.

 

As we show the progress of our assets from start to release we don't want to make people wait forever for an asset so every asset we create has
a 1 week deadline.

That being said this one may take a bit longer as New York is a very complex city

 

This looks perfect for an idea I had recently, fantastic.

 

It is certainly impressive.I wish i had these skills

 

wow nice, you really have good texturing skill.. btw i think you still need to make it more new york style

 

Thanks

We don't use generated textures all our textures are made from high resolution photos so gives the models a great amount of detail.

we ain't even done half of the models yet so this asset will continue to grow over this week.
this is a modular asset, with the amount of models in this there should be no reason not to be able to create most buildings in New York

 

Wow, those buildings are looking really great.

 

It is a clever marketing deal to make a competition this way, and with such wonderful assets. I loved the apocalyptic asset series and I love this already. Count me in and keep up the good work.

 

Thanks

Thanks im glad you are enjoying the apocalyptic series

 

Just curious, what is the winner suppose to win? It is not stated clearly in your post.

 

The winner wins the asset

 

Those textures really fit the models!

 

When will there be more photos??
The first one looks so great I can't wait to see more...

 

Thanks

We have textured allot of the city and we are getting great performance with very low draw calls (Using custom Shaders included in this package) and is with real-time lighting and shadow so would be even better with light-mapping

All the asset are named test1/test2 and so on for now as we have not decided on on a total Polly count as yet, we can safely say it wont be available for mobile once complete

Props will have LOD but building faces wont.

we will be continuing on this asset tomorrow and i will post an update later in the day

 

Sounds Great, Can't wait to see more...

 

Looks great!

 

Wow! Very impressive! Extremely generous too, regardless of whether it's a marketing thing

 

Update as promised

I said i would post an update today Update so here it is

as this asset will support a full day and night Cycle i i have put together a small scene of assets
we have created so far (not all ar textured)

All assets in this scene are using the same shader and is running without backing emission or global illumination so still
a lot of room to make this asset look even better

Not to worry we will be adding a lot more signs/ billboards and more advert textures

Thank you

it is marketing as well, as forums are the only way of showing an asset during the development

 

Wow! Just... wow!

 

That is just so cool....
The lighting and everything look great.

 

Is this asset going to be a drag and drop things and then we will have NYC in our scene or is it an asset that gives us everything and we place it ourselves?

 

Thanks Guys

This asset will come with every thing needed to create a New York style city and it will come with an example scene with everything you need to get started

 

Do you have an idea of how much it will cost?

 

So will this have the actual New York City in it or will it just have a generic city with New York style buildings?

 

As we price all our assets by size, i cant really say yet as we have not long started the asset .
i will give an estimated price when the asset is close to finish

it will have some sample scenes of places in new York but not contain New York in full as we want people to be imaginative with this asset

 

You should charge less than $75 as you can buy the island of Manhattan and parts of the surrounds boroughs online for $75. There are only not too badly done versions in Google Warehouse that are sufficient low poly for a capable texturer.

 

I can ensure that these model will be allot better quality than Google warehouse. also Google warehouse models can not be used for commercial use

 

I was referring to the Manhattan boroughs that I paid $75 for. Quite nice it is, but very large as it is NYC!

Are you going to make the blocks modular or is this an asset meant only for those with the latest dual-video card rigs?

 

This asset is a modular asset and will NOT require a high end card to run.

We have modular asset on the asset store of Manhattan already, we will be giving that asset a make over and it we be within this package

if you have paid for for Manhattan and are happy with that than that's a good thing.
we do not force anyone to purchase our asset than don't want to.

 

Wow, that looks great. It'd be interesting to see how far you can push something like that along with the Unity Pro occlusion culling feature.

 

Looks really good - Congrats!

 

Hi,
I putted a vote on "Modular Subway". I'm now going to follow this thread.
Btw it looks realistic in my opinion.

 

Looks great, is it mobile friendly?

 

looks pretty awesome, not sure if it would fit in with my tank game but Ill take a shot at a freebie anyways

btw what does "modular asset" mean?

 

Looks good so far

 

That's a very good point we will give it a go to see if i could run an open would

Thanks

Sorry this asset wont be supported on mobile as it would limit what we can do.

A modular is made up of model sections that a fits together using Unitys vertex snap feature to allow for maximum customization

 

Very nice guys, cannot wait until you finish Chicago, Miami and L.A.

Anything that is decent quality that I can drop into my scenes and makes my workflow more efficient gets a nod from me. Keep up the good work.

 

I really like this asset. What modelling software are you using?

 

Thanks

We use Blender for modeling Then 3DCoat and Gimp for UV mapping and texturing

 

this is really freaking good! its sort of like the gta 4 world right?

 

I would like to win this asset. Please add me to the cheat list, if you have one, so I'm more likely to win!
