As the Level Designer & main 3D Artist of Scopophobia, I had to keep track & organise a lot of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D Assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Something I remember from a previous guest lecture talk is the importance of consistent naming & organisation of assets in game developement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t follow this advice well until after I realised I had multiple assets sharing a similar description & name, such as the mirror in the Home Apartment & another mirror in the Supermarket Toilet, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For assets in the Supermarket itself, their names do not reflect their position as Supermarket assets, a mistake which I do not intend to ever repeat. Later on, I decided to organise everything with their location\/position, underscore, then their description, underscore again, and finally if needed, their orientation\/variation (for ex. left or right, numbered variations etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For ‘Block’, since they all share the same material & textures, I simply added “_Colour” and “_Roughness” as an indicator of their status as a base colour\/diffuse texture & roughness texture. The material is simply named after the textures without the indicator as it doesn’t need one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, I should’ve made an asset sheet too for better organisation & documentation. Here in this project, due to its smaller scale, the number of assets didn’t get out of hand, especially since I was the only one doing 3D modelling, Blender exporting & majority of the UE5 importing. The few assets which were imported by Yushan were highly confusing for both of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
