Big Problem, Simple Solution
Now, I realised when I was modelling the bungalow that the scale in object mode was messed up for every kit piece because when I originally created them I had changed the dimensions in object mode rather than in edit mode. The image to the left shows how it should look after you've modelled something.
The importance of this sank in when I realised that when I import the pieces into Unreal nothing will match up properly to the Unreal unit scale and would be time-consuming to adjust later on down the line.
I spent 40 minutes remodelling a few kit pieces but after doing some research I found this (http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/28558/scaling-in-object-and-edit-mode) it was literally a life saver.
If you scroll just over halfway down the page you will find the answer that made me very happy. I just needed to press ctrl and a then select scale in the popup menu. After selecting all my pieces I followed those instructions and it was all fixed in a second!!
The Bungalow
I spent a few hours today remodelling the bungalow, it was definitely good practise using Blender with something I had already done before.
You'll probably notice that I've added a little roof over the outside porch with a pillar.
One of the main reasons I decided to create it in Blender is so that I have a solid reference for when I have to recreate it in Unreal since I can't use my previous version anymore.
The Gun
After a lot of scrolling through You Tube I made a decision to follow the USP 45 tutorial by Zach Hixson. It was perfect because it is a simple design and the videos are easy to follow for beginners. Here is my progress for today: -
It's definitely getting there but I've still got a lot more to do. I am learning so much whilst modelling this gun and becoming more efficient with Blender.
Thanks for reading, will be a few days until my next post.
