September 29th: Building Tilesets 2.0
This week I continued to work on my building tiles. I solved many of the problems I had encountered last week with vert count and pieces not lining up when the building turned a corner, and now have almost all of the basic functionality I am looking for from this set of tiles. I still need to add more variety to the tiles so that not every building is identical, however, this is a good first step.
I also spent a lot of time organizing and talking with my team this week, I scheduled and lead several team meetings as we prepared for our first milestone, and I playtested a lot of mechanics.
Overall this last week was a slower one for me as I tried out new approaches to various challenges I was facing.
This is every tile I have currently made. They can be used to make a wide variety of buildings.
Corner Details: the corner was a particularly challenging piece, however I discovered the auto-merge vertices tool in blender, and that helped dramatically.
More corner details. The inner corner was also particularly challenging.
This building was constructed from the tile set in 7 minutes
This (slightly taller) building demonstrates the flexibility of the tiles.
