My modular kit concept post went over the three kits that I planned on modeling for this assignment: A graveyard kit, a house kit, and a prop kit. I was able to get a good start on each of these kits, as all the main structures and architecture pieces are modeled. There are still a few small props and nature elements that I eventually want to add, but I am planning on having those done in a later pass since I plan to do them in ZBrush instead of Maya (due to their more organic shapes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The graveyard kit consists of walls and pillars that will make up the exterior surroundings of the area, as well as a gate and archway to allow the player to enter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The graveyard will also have a mausoleum as a centerpiece, which has its own modular pieces that include walls, windows, a door, a roof, and trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next was the house kit, which included the walls, door, roof, and windows of the house itself, as well as fences and a gate that will surround the area and pumpkin patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the props kit! I had the most fun with this kit, as I was able to do a lot of modeling for smaller objects that will be good for set decorating. The props are for the entire map: the house, the pumpkin patch, the graveyard, the surrounding area, and the secret wood alchemist. Some props that are in the kit are gravestones, a coffin, a table, potions, pumpkins, a lantern, a cauldron, books, and more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still have some unwrapping to do before moving to textures, but I’m happy with the models that I have so far! I’m also excited to do more natural shapes in ZBrush. Some of the models I still hope to do are a skull, trees, rocks, leaf piles, scrolls, a scarecrow, and a crow. Hopefully I’ll have the time! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
