Week 3: Modular Environmental Creation Pt.2

 Part 2: Level Blockouts & More

    Continuing from last week, I've started to give a bit more detail to my modular pieces. More than anything, I've learned some important features regarding Unreal's blueprints. One of which changed my perspective as to what I'm capable of in Unreal Engine.

    Being comfortable enough to do my workflow in both Maya and Blender, I decided to make things quicker and stick to Blender.

Week 2: Modular Environmental Creation

 Part 1: Starting Modular Assets

    For this part, I'm starting to learn how to create modular assets for the purpose of building environments modularly. I had to learn a lot more about Maya to create the base meshes.

I primarily come from a Blender background, so starting to get back into Maya was definitely a challenge for me. Glad to say, I learned a lot doing this project, in Maya, but definitely more in Unreal Engine.
