Hard-Surface Kitbash
I'm a regular user of kitbash products but most products tend to have these problems.
Overly detailed - For some this might be a plus, but in production I see this as something that stops me from using the parts due to not fitting the style or being too hard to customize and personalize.
Bad topology - Very often are kitbash parts not subdividable and are mainly meant to be background filler objects. Because of the overly detailed nature of most kitbash products they also often have very high poly counts.
Not UV Mapped - Usually parts are never uv mapped and due to the reasons above it's understandable.
So my goal with this product and future kitbash products in this series are the following.
Clean/Simple - Most of the parts in this series will be very simple and stays away from details that standout too much. instead you can use Add-on parts which is a category of parts that you can put on surfaces, adding details to where you want them to make your designs more personal. Another good way to make use of the empty space is to use alphas/brushes to further develop your design.
Midpoly/Subdiv - All products comes as midpoly, meaning you can use them as they are, 1k - 30k tris per part. All parts have support edges and looks correct with fully soft/smoothed normals. All parts are also subdividable for when you are looking for a more detailed result.
UV maps - All parts have uv maps which makes life easier in every way.
Customization - It's not always a part fits perfectly the way it is, and because of the low polycount and clean topology it's very easy to customize these parts, we have also left most middle edge loops so users can easily customize and mirror parts when needed.I
hope you try them out and give us some feedback or part requests.
