The document provides instructions for 3D modeling assets for a first person shooter game, including character, weapon, and level modeling. It discusses using photo references and splines for facial modeling. Techniques covered include creating low-poly meshes from high-poly models, fixing mesh edges, UV mapping, normal mapping, and combining texture maps. Level creation involves using a procedural tree modeler and exporting branches to be broken down and rendered as textures to add detail to low-poly tree models.

- 2. Content Development for TI FPS Game Character Modeling Weapon Modeling Level Modeling
- 4. 6,000 – 10,000 polygons Body, feet, head, arms are modeled seperately
- 5. Use photographic reference whenever possible.
- 8. Facial modeling using splines
- 10. Wrinkles and details are added using Mudbox
- 11. Create a lo-res mesh from the hi-res mesh.
- 12. MRM causes nasty artifacts
- 13. Fix edges so mesh looks smoother
- 14. Create UVMapping co-ordinates for the lo-res mesh
- 15. Use projection mapping to create a Normal Map
- 16. Use original photo to create small details
- 18. Combine the two Normal maps
- 20. Weapon Modeling
- 21. Use more polygons in area closest to player viewpoint
- 22. Maximize UVWMap so important areas have more UVW Space
- 26. Setup lights to render ambient shadows
- 30. Level Creation (Tree Models)
- 35. Onyx Tree (procedural tree modeler)
- 36. Select a few branches and export to 3dsmax
- 37. Break the branch into smaller branches and render them to a texture.
- 39. The lo-poly branches look great from the side but a bit flat from other angles.
- 40. The mini-branches are placed onto the tree trunk.
