Making Modular kits For 3d Building assets 

Honestly mate this is one of the best if not the best tutorials about modular buildings on RU-vid. So so helpful. For the past year I’ve been learning blender full time and I’ve been dying for a good video on modular buildings that covers everything so I’m so unbelievably grateful for this video

Thank you. Im getting started and a video that actually shows you the process is very useful to me

This is by far the best explanation of modular assets in blender ever recorded. Thank you pal, you didn't leave any stone untarnished.

You are amazing, I am 20 minutes in and have learned so much more about modular building than I have in the past year or two combined. As someone who is trying to self learn I really appreciate you explaining everything in such depth. Thank you so much.

Thank you for taking the time to record and narrate this tutorial and showing us the full process in real-time!

I can't express how invaluable your videos are, it is so helpful to be able to see your process and hear your comments as you go through it. thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!

If you keep a consistent naming scheme for your exported files in engine, you'd never have to worry about fixing 50 unwrap errors. You just fix it once in app and re-export and overwrite the mesh that is referenced in the scene. All the instances in the scene will update accordingly. (Not 100% sure how this goes in Blender, but am pretty certain one could use instances for this as well)

Yes indeed @homborgor this was definately not a "Boring" or "Useless" video. Well done Hubert. I look forward to the video of taking the assets and migrating them to Unreal. What what be good would be a UE blueprint tutorial that automatically builds the dwellings procedurally. What a fantasatic video that I have learn't a great deal. Cheers.

that's an absolutely amazing tutorial! one of the best things I've ever seen. Thanks a lot!

Truly amazing video!

from a brazilian that grew up in south africa that is back in brazil now... to see you model some of our favela buildings is kind of cool. thanks boet, kind of miss the accent!

This is a great tutorial -- I've been making modular buildings for model railroad scenes, but wasn't quite sure at exactly which level to make them modular; this was very helpful for clarifying that in my mind, and for providing extra tips to avoid future problems. Seriously, people resist the idea of borrowing geometry so you get precise fits without painstakingly measuring everything? That's weird. I've done it since the first time I saw somebody do it; it was such a revelation because it makes things so much easier. In fact I did it with the stairs here too, which was faster than modeling over the template. Oh, a little tip for arrays -- doing simple math directly in numeric input fields can take the guesswork out of sizing. You can do more complex math too, but you need to set that up in the Preferences. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Thanks, man! I want to take my 1st try to make a town-constructor asset for UE. Never thought that I should use planes to build the walls. Your pipeline will be base of my task.

Wow, what a great tutorial. Thank you for also teaching us how to think about the steps taken. This combination of technique and wisdom is so useful.

I was watching this video in one breath till 3 am and first i'm doing after waking up is writing this comment ... thank you so much, it is a great tutorial for the building creation workflow... im newbe in 3d modeling and also like you like architecture modeling for games, man, you inspired me to correct my ways of moddeling... will appreciate further video series. Thank you! God bless you. Happy New Year! ❤🎉 🙏👍🤝

More content like this. Thank!!!

The result looks good . Everyone has a way of modeling they are comfortable with and it is interesting seeing the many different techniques . Thanks for the share. :O)

Wow it’s so good, I was hoping for these type of tutorial , great work man , please keep up but keep yourself healthy too 😊, that end bonus is so good too.

hallo.... awsome video helps alot... i am also from south africa started doing blender a few months ago... had a hard time with modular aspects.... thx for the help with this

love the long format thank you so much. earned my sub

Subbed, bloody awesome info here, Baie dankie! :)

A goldmine. Thank you.

This is amazing thanks for taking the time to explain all of this!

Awesome video, I just started with Blender so I can make my own assets, had to look up some of the shortcuts to use, but they are pretty easy to find. I'm at the UV unwrapping part and so far I can follow allong perfectly fine. Pausing and rewinding some parts, but I've made a bunch of variation of everything myself and its looking awesome so far, can't wait to see it with textures 😁 *Edit* You sneaky bastard, you did the door offline too

This was an incredible video. Thank you so much, Hubert! I learned so much!

This is gold! Have you ever done this kind of models but with the inside? Would be cool to see how you do it.

Wow, this awesome! Thank you so much!

Great Video, Only thing missing is some sort of explanation on UV unwrapping for different pieces that fit together. For example you have a 2x2 piece, 1x2 piece and another seperate 2x2 piece. How do you have consistant seamless UV's across mulitple objects no matter the configuration? Is that why you have the concrete trim on this model?

Hey, absolutely amazing tutorial. First the question: what about texel density, and the scale of the uvs (not ligning up with the other tiles). Is there a rule of thumb on how to align everything? Also can highly recommend you getting a better mic, since it would greatly benefit your content quality. Thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge ^^

Awesome I learned a lot thank you

Hey great tutorial thanks for that, I have a question how do you get it so that the UV size is the same in every mesh, this is important for brick textures for example

thank u so much for this amazing tutorial. i have a question. why the walls don't have a thickness? is it okay if u want to use them in a game engine?

For the stairs have you tried blenders built-in stair beveling.

This is a great vid boet!. Quick question, if you were to use this asset for a game in unreal where the character could walk around inside the building, would you need to make seperate walls and floors for the interior and texture them? And what would you put in between the interior and exterior walls as a barrier or to join them?, im not understanding how such thin walls could prevent the camera clipping through them. There are hardly any videos on youtube about making houses that you can actually go inside and walk around in (blender to unreal engine workflow) . Anyway thanks for the great tutorial !

Are there any sources that you use when you explain how you come up with the measurements of your assets? I'd like to know how you got, say, 750mm for doorways and 200m for step heights.

thanks , man

Hi Hubert , I wanted to know how to make mudular buildings from anime reference images. Can you give me some ideas ? Btw nice video 👍

This was very helpful, thank you. One thing I am unsure of is how to make a building modular if it has more of a rough surface. Say a stone wall that doesn't have corner columns. Do you still do it the way you show here, or is it batter to model them as boxes?

thank you for the video, i've been trying to finish this for 5 days... i've finished most of the modelling.. my UVs aren't lining up when i try to build with the pieces... could you explain how to unwrap UVs as one conecept and a mini video on importing these assets to unreal? That woule be very helpful. Thanks again. these videos are very valuable.

This is the best tutorial but i have a question. I made my walls around 15cm thick and when I place the floor to make a building they are overlapping. Is it correct to make 3 types of floors with 15cm less width in both sides, in one side, and a default one without removing these 15cm? What's the most efficient way to avoid overlapping with thick modular kits?

HI Mr Hubert, This is exactly what I was looking for. But I'm just wondering why you choose this particular project to do? And how to know what to create next? I was wondering about a game called Zelda and it's getting popular so should I make some sort of a collection or some modular environment for it ?

AWESOME, yo

hi, i want to buy for using in games?. is it game ready??. i am just worry about polygons, how much polygons per building?

lovely asset! 1:29:10 reason? Why you didn't apply directly a concrete & brick texture, instead first you did the rainbow texturing and then u changed/turned it into a brick and concrete texture, is there any reason behind.

can you show how you go find these material al put them to blender lpease prtty please

So question how would i have modular for the interior reason asking cause there is not any thick pieces when you made the walls and in game you would see that? Could you do a video to show you would still use these pieces but show walls inside the player would see.

how did you fix the uvs after building the asset. Initially there were rough uvs.

11:30 how you remove loops without selecting anything from pie menu?

Where can I find the follow up video?

How are you, my friend? Can you help me design a building for my graduation project?

Are you South Africa
