My final project proposal is a set of 3D models that can be tiled to create a stone castle\/dungeon environment. Derived from my practice intention, I’ll use NURBS modeling functions in Maya to create the 3D assets, then I’ll texture them and import them into a Unity project. Then I will create a script to procedurally generate random maps using the tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have quite a bit of experience generating procedural environments, and much of the work for this project will be reusable. The floor, for example, could be the same for each tile. Only 5 tiles will need to be created, as they can be rotated to fit any orientation necessary. Additionally, I’d like to include some elements beyond just these tiles, such as pillars or lanterns that can be placed around the scene during generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plan for completing this project is as follows:
– Week 1: Create 3D tiles
– Week 2: Write generation script to place tiles and orient them properly in the environment
– Week 3: Create additional elements, including a pillar and a wall-lantern, and include them in the generation script
If time permits, I would also like to put a basic character controller into the scene, so that I can walk around the created environment. Otherwise, I’ll implement a camera system I made in the past to pan around and provide a nice view of the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some questions I have for this project include:
– Will tiling a 3D shape be difficult? I plan to use the birail tool, which should provide the same shape at the seams of each tile. Do you foresee any issues or problems with that?
– If I plan on making the tile and walls look like stone, what’s the best way to go about that? Would it be better to incorporate that into the model itself, or take care of it in texturing?
– Would a different context for these tiles be more interesting? Perhaps a wooden house with furniture, or a dense maze-like forest?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
