What pipeline do you follow while making modular walls?

start with your most normal flat wall
Then you need inside and outside corners and a door way.
Fit the pieces together to see if there's anything else you need to make. I needed to make ceiling tiles that were 1/2 and 1/4 the size of a whole tile

Should I join the inner walls and outer walls together in blender or do it in Unity as a prefab?

I made every single piece of geometry its own mesh and made whole tile objects in unity.
I ended up having to go back and make 1/2 walls and tiny corner sections. It made me wish the meshes were even more granular.

what made you do this? Also how did you figure out seamless textures?

You make generic 2m long walls 1m long and the corners/t shape/x shape 1m+1m, when you have all the doors and window variations you model the small details to put on top of the walls, I think it is better to model both sides instead of just 1 if you need them, if you are doing just exterior houses you just need one side.

the only proper solution is to use a custom houdini node setup that allows you to drag and drop doors, balconies etc.

but you're not the single freak kid from your elementary school that got to skip a grade beside never doing homework, so please don't even look into it.

Name three things you've accomplished in your life.

>what made you do this?
Things kept being misaligned and I needed new sections I hadn't thought of that required it. I also needed partial versions of other tiles to interface with the edges of hand made rooms
Also how did you figure out seamless textures?
I hit "automatic mapping" and utilized meditation and spirituality to simply accept the results and live the rest of my life.

it's just maya's auto mapping which just projects faces from 6 cardinal directions and lays them out. They are not optimized, but for architecture they accidentally make adequate UVs.
Similarly for characters I use zBrush's UVMaster and also just accept the results. Ive done enough "real" UV mapping to not want to do it anymore.
