Modular level design by Epic Games

Post by D3luxe »

I've been doing some research on modular level design in order to start working on the game idea I have. Since there are going to be 3 large castles, I needed to figure out a way to actually model those and make them different.

I was forwarded to this link, which is a 6 page article by Epic Games on how they do their modular levels, so I thought I'd share it with the forums.

Also, if anyone else is interested, there are two really good tutorials for next-gen settings and next-gen texture at this link:

Click "shares" at the bottom, and those are the first two tutorials.

Hehe, sorry man!

Hey, the more tutorials the better imo. Everyone has different approaches, so I'm surethat this isn't exactly the same pipeline as your tut? :?
