Cosmodrome is a cinematic rock band from Germany and they released their new single "Satellites" recently. I had the privilege of working on the 3D and animation space scenes in that video.

2021 is about to leave us and what a year it has been, especially these past few months. A lot of projects and real life have intervened, but more on these come new year. For now I would like to thank you for the support and wish all of you happy holidays with this little animation I've made. 🎄⭐️

Back to creating structural meshes. This time I'm testing some dome like structures.

💧 Created some interesting areas, like a big central area perfect for a boss fight or a hub. (images 1-2)

💧 Then I went on and created some smaller round areas that could have access to the outside. This area could be either a sewer entrance or simply a crossing for the player to explore (images 3-4)

💧 Lastly I took the dome structure and tried to create a semi dome room and a spherical one. (images 5-6)

💧 This one was a bit of a struggle to figure out how to create them and still maintain modularity with the rest of the meshes. In the end I managed to keep them on the same grid as you can see. (images 7-8)

💧 Currently cleaning up some meshes and optimizing them a bit further.

This is a work in progress. If you have some feedback or cool idea to share, I would love to hear them in the comments below.

💧 Expect HG Poly - Sewers to hit the Unreal Marketplace in Fall 2021.

Thanks.

It's time for another preview video of HG Poly Sewers. We're taking a break from designing sewer levels and we're thinking out of the box.

💧 This time around I will walk you through some cool bridges that you will be able to create with this asset pack.

💧 Repurposing modular meshes to create entirely different structures than what they were designed for is always fun.

💧 I created 4 different bridges, but I'm sure that your fantasy will run wild. Can't wait to see what you'll create once HG Poly Sewers hits the Unreal Engine Marketplace.

💧 Hope you will have fun watching the video as much as I had fun creating it.

This is a work in progress. If you have some feedback or cool idea to share, I would love to hear them in the comments below.

💧 Expect HG Poly - Sewers to hit the Unreal Marketplace in Fall 2021.

Hi! Evan here with a preview video of HG Poly - Sewers. The upcoming asset pack in the HG Poly Medieval series.

💧 This time around I'm showcasing how the modular pieces work in different scenarios.

💧 Another thing I wanted to show you this time are complex levels and rooms.

💧 Watch the video for some cool new meshes.

The asset count is currently at 133. There is still a lot to create so stay tuned for the next preview video.

As always the asset pack will have a friendly price for everyone to enjoy once released.

This is a work in progress.

💧 Expect HG Poly - Sewers to hit the Unreal Marketplace in Fall 2021.
