MS: Gundam - Cel Shade Stylized VR Ready Environment Assets: Downtown Blocks [Update: 2023/05/01]

Major Update on the Mobile Suit: Gundam anime series assets that I've been working on for the past 4 months in my spare time. Having completed a large assortment of Mobile Suit units and brand new Ships and Support Craft assets, I've begun creating environmental assets to recreate locations from the original series. The Assets are made to use a Cel Shaded Art Style using Toon Lining to achieve an Anime-look. Further to this, the specific look I have been going for is to recreate the art style used in the original MS: Gundam Anime series. All models and textured are being optimized for use in VR.

As a base starting point, I looked to the designs of the various background houses and buildings in the background shots of the first episode of the original anime series and recreated these as 3D models (and subsequently textured). I wound up finding a lot of source material in the first episode so I managed to create a number of buildings quite quickly. One key part though of the speed of the development was that I noticed several of the buildings used very similar looking windows, doors, etc. As a result of this, I created several modular pieces that I was able to quickly attach to various building skeleton designs and then quickly iterate on these to generate several different configurations of buildings.

Due to the volume of assets, I have had to break the renders and texture uploads into several A.S posts. In this next post post, I have dedicated it to the downtown block prefab pieces that I created.
