Modular Building Set [UPDATED]

[Jacob-3D]

@TooManyfps;399403

Look for example in he top row asset of the overview map, the entrances with windows. All 394 high. What am i supposed to put next to there? There is not a single wall or anything that is 394 that I could put next to it. They all are 450, 350 or whatever. And there is nothing to fill the difference between 394 and whatever I have to use to get a clean cutline running along 394.
So I have to rescale. As soon as I do, i have the crawl along every gap to make sure there is no air between the planes or that they are not overlapping.
Quite seriously here, I will not listen to Epic’s staff picks anymore - it’s juts jibberish. It’s really unnerving stuff to use such modular packs in UE4 if the assets are not put on unified scale. that is there are asset groups where everything has same height for example. Right now I would give my left arm for a wall with height 394 to begin with. If I rescale one of the existing walls I won’t even know if I hit the 394 wothout rounding errors because UE4 does not use absolut dimensions for the assets but only provideds scaling of the original asset. UE4 is not a CAD program. Such modular stuff is like the worst match for it. The next gap that has jitter or has air, I bite through my mouse cable.

Then there are feature like the one in the red circle. I want to stack the two identical pieces. The features overlap, there is no way without it. It jitters because UE4 does not know which one is closer to the camera. It is just an overlapping polygons issues - you have identical polygons perfectly overlapping, UE4 does not know which one is closer to the cam, you get jitter. Nothing more. I do not know. I mean it is the first modular pack, so maybe inexperience plays a role. But this is just not good.

Or look at the second picture. The two marked pieces. One has the pivot in the center!? the other one where is belongs in the corner to rescale from a corner reference. I can not even put the to idental z-y positions because the pivot points are different. If I rescale the pivot center one, I have to shift it around. If it had the pivit in the corner I could do without shifting.
The top one has width 278 the bottom one (the wall) has 300. It is the basics that you provide all assets in groups with dimensions that after puzzling them together a perfect rectangle can be obtained. It is just basic stuff. At least I do not know where to remaining 22 from.
so I rescale and the fun starts.

Or look at the third picture. There is an angle, right? Reference surface is the front plane, the blue tiles.You align it to that position next to a wall, the will be a gap because you can look through the angular gap from the tilt. To avoid it, you shift the blue tiles a little bit into the wall - you get overlap jitter.

Please use it as constructive criticism. The pack probably made its revenue by now, so no harm done if I take it apart a bit, I hope.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all of the responses everyone. It is ok I don’t take it is anything personal or an attack on my work. Again I absolutely apologize that you are experiencing issues with the pack TooManyfps. This is absolutely my fault for not having up a video yet on how best to use the pieces in conjunction with one another and what piece fit into where and why things are the scale that they are. I still plan on making a video to lay this out for all of you on the quickest and best ways to use this pack. I would have completed the video much sooner, but unfortunately I am still working a full time job and doing the Marketplace on the side when I am available. So I thank you all for your patience in me getting this video out to everyone and hope in the mean time you are all happy with the support I am providing, because it’s very important to me that you guys are happy with your purchase. Let me try to help a bit on here for now until I can get up a video explaining in more detail.

The first image here is to help to show how best to place the store fronts next to each other.

The scale convention is not the same for the “Store front pieces” or for the “store upper windows pieces” as are the sizes for the “upper windows” which go at the top of the building past the store fronts. That is because as mentioned in the above image, the store front pieces only belong together and the store upper window pieces only belong together all with beams and columns placed between them because of the “style” of the building I was going for. This is how the pieces are used for construction. It is not to say that you CAN’T use the pieces in any other way, but if the way that they are placed together does not look good or tile properly, then please feel free to use these as a guideline to help. Proper use of assets and pieces can be found in the Demo_Scene map.

And I was wondering if you were having issues with the textures tiling incorrectly on the assets meant for tiling? As mentioned before, plane_wall_3x2 and plane_wall_3x3 are the tiling walls, so if these are tiling badly then that is on me and I will definitely be sure to look into it, but I believe they should be working ok?

I will be providing more images and more help on scale convention and naming convention shortly, but am a bit tight on time at the moment. I would definitely like to help clarify a bit more what pieces are made to work with each other and how things can be placed more neatly. Thanks again for your patience. I hope this helps!
