MS: Gundam - Cel Shade Stylized VR Ready Environment Assets: Building Prefabs [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 first post, I have dedicated it to the modular pieces that I mentioned earlier. In addition to renders of all the different models, I have included all of the atlas'd textures for the modular prefab pieces. However, due to the large number of textures for the buildings I wouldnt be able to fit them all into an A.S post so I have instead included a few example textures that demonstrate the way the textures have been made.
No AI was used in the creation of the Art Assets in this piece. All Models and Textures are by me.

Note that the renders of this post were made in Blender. Implementation is planned for Unity and using the RealToon Shader package.

Modular Prefab Pieces
------
I would list the poly counts for these here, however there are so many I am not able to fit them all into this post description.

Suffice to say, all modular prefab pieces were made following low poly standards and range from 4 poly to an average-max of 40 poly (some are slightly higher in poly, but these incorporate extra details not found in the others (example: stair cases are slightly higher in poly due to the extra geometry from the steps)
