    Hey all!

    This is something I'm developing that will eventually end up in the asset store, Unity willing.

    The idea being that you can put together the ruins of a building or dungeon in your game space. It's old, it's crumbling, and it more hints at what it used to be more than trying to BE something specifically.

    I have a lot more to do here ... there's a whole other set of meshes I need to sculpt and bake ... but these are the beginnings! I'll update this thread as work progresses.

    (screenshots are from UE4 as that's what I'm developing in, but Unity will look similar)

    Let me know if you have feedback or comments or whatever! I'm loving working on this so far...

    They look pretty good, far better than I could do. :p

    Some things I would add for realism is adding some moss or dirt, as well as something to fill the cracks between some of those bricks.

    I'm going to have a selection of materials you can apply, for sure. Moss and dirt are definitely something I want.

    Took a step backwards today and did a bunch of lightmap re-jiggering and reworked the textures some. I made a few new pieces tho ... AND I have a better plan for moving forward so tomorrow it's onwards in a big way!

    Got my last set of meshes done today - the "bars and boards" set. This should complete all the creation stuff, now I just need to assemble as many pieces from these as I can. Should be fun!

    First shot is a look at all the components I have to work with. Second shot is me starting to put them together into a complete scene.

    Just curious are you trying to get a full environment done? Or just the basic structure and people will fill in with other assets? (Like barrels, chests, shrubs, moss, ect.).

    I'm shooting for basically the components to make the primary structures and pathways. Bricks, wood pieces, and some metal accents like railings and gratings ... no deco items are planned at the moment. Barrels and chests and the like...

    This is looking great. Something I could do with for my projects. I'll be buying when it's available.

    Whipped up a quick diorama scene using the existing pieces and some new ones I did today ... Mission is to finish the pack this weekend and submit to the asset store early next week.

    Another day, another update ... Zeroing in on that finish line tho.

    Just a few more pieces to make and then I need to grind through collision and all that...

    Final WIP update ... I got up to 97 pieces. 3 shy of what I wanted but whatever. Close enough. :)

    Now begins the less fun part of the process ... collision, lightmap tuning, etc. The actual work part, in other words.

    Hey all!

    This pack has been submitted to the asset store but while the wheels turn on that, I've created packs on Gumroad that you can buy if you don't want to wait. There are packs for Unreal and Unity, as well as a combo pack that includes both versions at a decent discount.

    Or you can wait until it gets into the actual asset store and grab it there.

    Thanks!!

    Unreal Engine:

    Unity 5.0:
