"How do you approach huge props?" is a question I get fairly frequently. Let's take a look at some of the bridges I've built for games over the years and discuss the approach I generally take. It may not be perfect, but it works for me!
We'll look at the texture in Substance Painter and discuss construction techniques in MODO.

Hi! I'm Warren Marshall!
I'm a freelance, hard surface 3D artist living in North Carolina. I specialize in hard surface work but I can do pretty much anything from environments to props.
I worked at Epic Games for over 15 years and started freelancing after that. Since then I've done prop and environment work for some fun projects, including We Happy Few from Compulsion Games and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I've also done a bunch of asset packs for the various marketplaces.
I have experience with Unreal Engine 4 and Unity and know how to put assets together quickly that look good in those engines.
Here's a link to my Art Station page where you can see a bunch of my latest work:

What's the biggest prop you've ever worked on, and what advice would you have for someone attempting the same piece?

So glad to see a bridge I've walked and died many times on, lol.

As a game dev of 12 years this is good stuff, I like how at the end you threw the real life bit about iteration time... which is absolutely freaking true.

@abuKaJeiN.

Pewdiepie once stood on one of those bridges and said a very wise word

Im just now getting into prop making and 3D modeling in general and videos like these that go over seemingly simple or obvious ways of constructing things really help. I feel like a lot of people (including myself) go into 3D modeling thinking you have to complete your prop and then texture it. Having textured segments that you can use like legos definitely opens up a ton of techniques I never even considered before and definitely eases my nerves going into larger prop making. Thank you for the vids!

Great video, very insightful and well explained. Also I greatly appreciate the words of encouragement near the end.

Major props (hehe) for this video! I really appreciated your insight on this. I've always worked on smaller scale with environments and props, but been wanting to try out something a bit larger, and while I have an idea of how I would tackle it, I wanted to see how other people handle it, and it's good to see I was on the right track! Thank you for the informative video, gonna follow you from here on out cause you got some pretty good advice (and a cute dog in the intro)

Thank you so much for the video Warren. I assumed things like this were made from tiling textures, but that would mean pulling more textures. Thanks for shining a light on it!

This was extreamly helpful to a new hire and all of them should see it. Gracias, Warren.

Oh man thanks for those last words, they just saved me from jumping out the window! For real, it's the first time I'm making a large building (a church) and I'm so dreading having to decide for myself how much resolution and detail I need it's absolutely nervewracking.

Great video, thank you for explaining all that ! Hope you keep it going .

Wow, I had no idea you worked on those bridges. Small world lol. They look awesome and I love your micro to macro approach to big pieces like this. It makes them less intimidating to tackle.
