Sewer blockout development 2

Published by higginson2020 on

Today I further expanded on the blockout of the sewer level I am creating. I first drew out the area I wanted to create so that I would have a reference as to what I was creating and not just going at it randomly as I have in the past.

I added the beginnings of the cave area to the end of the mine segment and place a large green cylinder in the middle. This is in place of the tree that will be there.

After I had added this area I went to run through it in place mode and realized I wasn’t getting proper scale while I wasn’t using the first person character. I added that to the project and ran through the level with that. It showed me I had created lots of things larger than they need to be.

First was the initial area, which may still be tweaked. The wall were far too high.

I then found that the tunnel leading to the second area was also too high. I lowered the walls and added a ceiling to make sure the player would fit through.
The third thing I found an issue were the stairs in the second room. They were too high so I had to jump up each step. I fixed this by reducing the step height and increasing the step count of the staircase leading up.

I added simple indicators as to the locations of various assets that will be in the level. I have coloured them red so that they stand out from the rest of the level.
