Modular SciFi Series - Polaris Colony Released!

[SE_JonF]

Greetings everyone!

I'm here with another WIP update on the upcoming props pack. Here we go:

Waste Bin

It wouldn't be a props pack without one!

Desks

Desks are another integral prop in many games. Whether simulating work, or to search for information and loot in drawers. There are 3 variations of this style depicted below. The drawers are modeled so that they can be animated to allow for individual opening, perfect for games with that extra layer of immersion! Below you will also find a variation that shows off the potential material customization. As with many of the other props, PSD source files will be provided for developers to further tweak and implement additional details, such as branding. The desks, along with the other props, were designed with the UE4 Mannequin scale in mind.

If you have any feedback, questions or suggestions please feel free to share below! Until then, here is a collection of screenshots for the assets described above, enjoy!

Are the writing (letters and numbers) on the keypad and tablet easily editable in the editor by an art illiterate coder or you need to change image files into photoshop (or whatever) ?

[SE_JonF]

Hey BardicKnowledge! They are emissives that are editable via photoshop. I am providing all of the source files and templates for the UI designs so that people can edit them. =)

I'll be expanding on how you can modify the templates at a latter date. But rest assured, it has been designed for ease of use. =)

Man this looks awesome.

Thanks! Just a suggestion, you could add an alternate version of the keypad where authentication is performed using fingerprints (whole hand?) or retinal scan!

That's a really good idea, I'll look into including templates for those designs! =)



Edit: Thinking more about it, it may be better to create a new device altogether for the fingerprint scan. I've got a couple of ideas already. =D

Greetings all!

Just wanted to give a heads up that I confirmed 4.10 compatibility for Modular SciFi: Hallways with the marketplace team. It should be updated to reflect that soon. Modular SciFi: Interiors seems to be the casualty of a bug that is causing normal distortion errors, and I submitted a report on answerhub. I'll update when I hear back and can get a resolution to the issue.

Edit: A solution has been found, and I will be submitting the update for Interiors. I also went back and checked versions 4.8 and 4.9 and somehow the issues were even there. Those versions will also be included with the fix. =)

Edit 2: Fix was sent in for all versions of Interiors. The description has also been updated to reflect the changes. It should be live soon.

Shelves

Perfect for storing items for decoration, or use in your game! There are 4 mesh variations of this style.

Everyone needs a place to sit, and now your characters and npcs can in this stylish SciFi leather stool!

Greetings everyone!

I'm here with another small update. I wanted to show off one of the many props that I worked on this week.

Table Lamp

Perfect for those late nights at the scifi workplace. As with all the previous props, this is has high material modularity. The model itself has also been designed to accommodate those who may wish to animate it should the need arise.

There's PLENTY more to show that will be revealed soon, I can't wait to share it! If you have any feedback, questions or suggestions please feel free to share below! Until then, here is a collection of screenshots for the asset described above, enjoy!

[SE_JonF]

Greetings everyone!

I'm happy to be able to show a huge update on the progress for the upcoming props pack. Be warned, many pictures inbound!

Divider Glass

Good for dividing up the rooms, or designating specific areas. The text in the glass is editable via an included PSD file. Preset texts will be available.

External Storage Unit

Perfect for keeping data storage!


Wireless Booster

Device used to boost the signal strength of your network. Comes with two variants, antenna up and down. Hinge modeled to accomodate animation should any developer choose to go down that route.

First Aid Kit

Almost every game has them. The first aid kit is perfect for medpack usage, or for inclusion in a first aid locker!

Pain Medication/Pill Bottle

Perfect for that headache or lingering pain from your most recent attack. The label is completely modifiable via the included PSD file.

Coasters/Holder

No one wants to ruin their scifi desk with a cold glass! Separate coaster, and partially filled holder included.

Access Card Reader/Access Card.

An alternative to the keypad, the access card reader uses keycards to gain access to rooms, drawers, lockers, etc. Access card credentials modifiable in photoshop through included PSD file.

Drawers

Drawers in the same style as the desks to complete the set. Both double, and single design.

Wall Lockers

Whether you're storing general items, or first aid equipment. The lockers come in two versions: Single door, and double door. Both open and closed variants are included. Hinge modeled to accomodate animation should any developer choose to go down that route.

Glass Cup

Everyone needs a drink now and then! Materials can also be swapped to create plastic cups.


I'm nearing the end of the development for this pack. There's still SO MUCH more to show that will be revealed soon. If you have any feedback, questions or suggestions please feel free to share below! Until then, here is a collection of screenshots for the asset described above, enjoy!

Hi there,
So I am having loads of fun playing around with the SciFi Hallways set, and when funds become more abundant I plan on picking up SciFi Interiors, however I was wondering whether you had plans to add any of the following tile types:
• Angle flooring/ceiling
• Elbowed floor/ceiling
• Sloped walls
• Stairs
• Rails
I ask because I have encounter several instances where I was unable to use your sets due to the above tile pieces were absent. I can make it work with solid color blocks and cobbled together bits & pieces but the feel would be completely off.

Either way,
Keep up the awesome work & Happy Holidays!!!!

Hey there Draven_lock!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the pack. =) Stairs and rails are definitely things I've been looking into adding. Vertical level design is something I want to be able to support in this series, so plans for that are definitely underway. I'm also looking into how I can go about adding elevators or lifts. I like the idea of sloped walls. It's another example of something I have designs for, just trying to figure out how/where to implement it best. Rest assured though they are coming!

Can you elaborate a little on the angled flooring/ceiling, or provide an example? Not sure I quite understand that. Do you mean the textures, or design not being "straight" so to speak? I'm also not sure what you mean about elbowed floors/ceilings.

Thank you for the support, and Happy Holidays to you as well! =)
