Modular SciFi Series - Polaris Colony Released!

[Draven_lock]

Sure no problem,

I could try to give you a long winded explanation that you may still need me to elaborate on some more or I can just post a pic. I’m going to go for the latter. Mind you I just had the bicep on my dominant hand reattached last week so the pic is the best I can do at the moment.



For both examples the flow of the floor or ceiling textures should ideally follow the curve. Here is a picture of what I cobbled together to make a corner piece without an angle.



However, to achieve this I had to combine almost 30 meshes which hits the fps a little too much and lets not mention the epic texture battles being had...

Any way glad to hear about the possibilities of more parts to play with.

Sorry to hear about your bicep, I hope your recovery is swift!

I really appreciate the feedback. Currently you can create T or + hallways. I figured people would use the doors themselves to create an L, or corner, but I can see the desire for regular walls. I can most likely address that in a future update with some additional pieces. I already have one planned for early next year that I will try to slip this into. As for the angled/elbowed hallways I will have to see if I can implement that into the existing design. Again, thank you for this valuable feedback. =)

Thanks for the reply and no worries, my bicep is healing quite a bit faster than anticipated.

I almost see no need for you to add any of the extra items to any of your current sets, as I think your current sets stand on their own quite well, maybe add a hallways extras pack… I would buy it.

One more question, do you have any triangle pieces planed? Thought about the angled/elbow request and realized that if I had 2 large triangular pieces to shift the angle to 45 degrees than that would as well and reduce mesh count. Also that may be much easier to incorporate into the feel of your sets then adding curves. Also with the addition of triangles we could make hexagons and Octagons which would increase the usability of your sets extensively (well for my project anyway).

Keep up the awesome work.

Happy Holidays

Good to hear!

If I can fit some of them in there, I will. I was already planning another small expansion for early next year. If not, there are alternatives. =)

Not currently, but I'll mark that down as well. Trying to accommodate a multitude of layouts is what I'm trying to achieve, so I really appreciate you giving me feedback on things you see that would be beneficial to how you use the assets. I'll be looking for ways to incorporate it in the future.

Thanks again, and Happy Holidays to you as well!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to get in another update before the end of the year. Getting very close to finishing off this props pack. There's still so much I haven't shown yet! This particular prop is based on a suggestion from BardicKnowledge earlier in the thread. The pictures below demonstrate some of the customization of the device, as well as it's screen. I'll let them speak for themselves. Enjoy the rest of your 2015!

Hand Scanner

For that extra layer of security. When access cards and keypads may not be enough.

Greetings everyone, and Happy New Year!

Here is another preview of some of the assets in the upcoming props pack. I'm currently in development of the last set of assets, and then the pack will be ready for submission! Until then, here are some more images of new props that you can populate your levels with.

Included below are:

Vents
Eye Drops
Smoke Detector
Fire Sprinkler
Temperature Control Panel

Hi Jon,

Was wondering if you have planned themed rooms, such as "Reactor-room", Navigation, CIC, etc..

Hey SaviorNT!

Indeed, I do have plans for more focused thematic packs that will be a mixture of both architecture and props. Things as you mentioned like command centers, reactors, cargo holds, etc. They will be designed to work seamlessly with all of the other packs in the collection. Let me know if you have any more questions! =)

[SaviorNT]

Sweet, I look forward to em

Thanks! As do I. =)

Hey Olivier, thanks! =)

Greetings everyone!

Here is another preview of the assets that will be available in the upcoming pack. I'm very close to wrapping it all up, more on that soon!

[SE_JonF]

More to share soon!

[SE_JonF]

Greetings everyone!

I'm excited to be able to show off some of the early designs for this. While this is a props pack, I felt it would be a good idea to add some architecture that would be more appropriate for some of the props in the pack. I wanted to provide simpler architecture, something that could accommodate a room full of desks or shelves even more than the existing pieces in the collection all while fitting seamlessly with the established design. This is one of the reasons development on the pack took a little longer than I initially intended. The architecture uses the same "blueprint" (not in unreal terms, but placement) so to speak as the Interiors package. So the floors, walls, etc. are interchangeable with those which is awesome, and in sync with what I'm aiming to achieve with this collection.

I also applied feedback regarding architectural paint and kept it minimal to none, that way custom decals can be used to apply paintings rather than implementing them through the texture. Keep in mind though, the images below are concept and do not contain textures at all. I'll have more to share very soon, keep your eyes on the thread! =)

Yeah!... that looks cool, kinda 'SciFi ArchiVis'
