Let's model an RTS FACTORY in 10 MINUTES - ep. 70 - Blender 2.92

In my current "day job" we're making a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game and in episode 70 of the 10 Minute Modeling Challenge, I'm modeling a very basic factory building for use in such types of games. The building could be used in any type of game including isometric style or where the buildings are viewed from a distance.

If you want to use the palette style UV coloring method, I go through that in both of the above linked videos.
Additional info:
I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015 but more recently in the past couple of years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011 and I'm currently working on a multiplayer RTS game that I'll be happy to announce later this year.
I use a Panasonic Lumix GH5 camera to record my videos with the Olympus 17mm F1.2 lens as well as the Laowa F2.0 7.5mm compact dreamer lens. Sometimes I also use a GoPro Hero 8, a Insta360 One X and a Sony rx100 mark vii. For audio I use a Rode NTG shotgun microphone connected to a RME Fireface UFX II sound card.
Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)

Crazy how this is all made from 1 simple block. Keep up the good work!

[@milanstevic8424]

well you could technically instead start every little object from a cube, but what would be the point when you can just copy and move on. with every object you got to start from somewhere, and when doing these low polys you kinda want all 6 sides, so doing planes would be rather silly and slow. so that's why you start from a cube: it's an already topologically-closed body, zero work.

[@ahmadresham3786]

Congrats on complete 70 episodes of 10 min modelling challenge...👍👍👍

[@Jacksonhoch1]

I’d love to see more 10 minute challenges for machinery and things from your game! Really enjoyed this one!

[@StigDesign]

RedAlert2 Vibe from that Bulding :D

[@bgildersleeve]

Amazing series, I love it! I have followed along with a few of these tutorials but honestly I just enjoy sitting back and watching you build cool stuff. It's very relaxing and calming, sort of like Bob Ross teaching people how to paint happy trees. :) Keep it up!

[@A-D-S-P]

Imphezia the best 👌🏼

[@tommasomancuso1217]

Finally an RTS modeling video. I really love that kind of games! It will be very interesting if you post some video of how did you model the rifleman of Line War.

[@m96k3y7]

Amazing stuff.

[@Ferenc-Racz]

Best series! Thank you for your 10 minutes challenge videos. Interesting and always a good opportunity to learn new stuffs.

[@dcaucett]

Thanks for another great episode, really love this series and all the tips you add on the end.

[@danieljee8670]

Very interesting. More game related modelling please!!

[@themjohnsons]

You make it look so easy!

[@astraldrifter]

New constructions options!

[@XenoGonBee]

It's amazing!

[@DatdudegilToo]

I love this animation!

[@Vectorr66]

Love me some good RTS games.

[@kazikyup7573]

@Imphenzia I love your content! I advise you to rotate this solar panels for 180. It will be more realistic, cuz you want to prevent shadows on from higher part of building.

[@jasonwilliams8730]

So I take it your new RTS will have ground, sea, and air? It looks amazing so far and I can't wait to buy and play it

[@kabotteam]

On this animation exaggeration thing - you could've used graph editor - this way you can animate movement using curves, keeping just two keyframes ;) And also worth pointing out is to make animations for gamedev in 60fps as they will probably be seen at this speed in the game :)

[@xmatias9]

Nice

[@jaceksawinski912]

One tip that i found: if you want to separate geometry but you already modeled it and forgot to separate it just select all geometry that you want and just separate it to another object, and then join those two objects

[@slovianskypierog]

Oczywista oczywistość byku 🤔 nic nowego

[@WaterShowsProd]

The factories pop up as quickly as the condos in my neighbourhood! Say, that gives me an idea...

[@aw_dev]

I'm getting some game idea vibes!!!

[@_Garm_]

In which video does you go over how you load the pallete and assign the colors :) ? :D also which view mode are you in ?

[@deviloflaplace3499]

no dislike... perfect :D

[@matthewmathis62]

I really like your modeling! You're very talented. I was wondering, Do you have a story for your game? And is your story or setting reflected in your game models? I think games can be simple and fun, when they have a nice atmosphere or setting. Like a happy guy optimistic to overcome his battles, *like Andy in Advance Wars* . Even in Halo, when you're playing Red vs. Blue in Multiplayer Mode, you still feel like you're playing Master Chief. So, similarly, I think you would benefit a lot from having characters or maybe a Country which you play as and represent. But I think everyone wants to be a winner, so I think it would help you a lot to have a character you play as that's *optimistic* and an *overcomer* . I think it would help you in your games. Think about it! Thank you for the video, Imphenzia (wish I knew your real name, it's more personal, heheh).( ͡` ͜ʖ ͡´)

[@wouterl2636]

Epic

[@jhlane1977]

I can never work out how to get the colour to change using that pallet. I have it there and work with the UV tab open, but it never works. Could you do a short video on how to do it please?

[@l3dpstudios-original]

Very very cool. Do you remember this game -> Command & Conquer? and a happy birthday for your wife!. make more and more happy memories.

[@antonioriondadelosreyes7523]

veldig bra!

[@theminer5611]

hay imphnzia can you do a programming tutorial for unity

[@chrissyoutubechannel8679]

Looks complicated would like to be able to do that regards Chris

[@mohdsharooq51]

Bro please help me 😭😭😭😭 I've been completed my game in unity but my game project not opening no error showing and I've been try to open with sample scene but doesn't work Bro Can you please help me if you know about this 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DougCooperTech]

add some blocks or crates outside the building???

[@chrissyoutubechannel8679]

Will watch on Thursday will you do a drop ship 10 min challenge like in starship trooper you could use it as an transporter in your rts game

[@DEV-zj5xk]

BTW. As it seems like it is pretty straightforward to work with animations that uses multiple objects. What about doing this kind of animations procedurally in Unity? I mean especially this kind. How about making some kind of prefab that sliding objects upward with a time offsets. Is there any underwater rocks that you know about?

[@DEV-zj5xk]

I have done it btw sketchfab.com/3d-models/lowpoly-rts-factory-01b110c009fd4bb3a0e25adb093c09a2

[@pabloveintemilla5358]

Hey! I love your videos! I'm developing a game in unity and i've learned a lot with you. I'm having troubles tho with animating a quadruped, specificly a dog. I Wonder if you could do a 10 minute low poly dog with animation or something like that. Thaks a lot, again, I love your videos so much.

[@DracosMinions]

@Imphenzia What Category do you use when you upload Blender videos?

[@harryliefman6791]

pressing S after you extrude along normals evens the thickness of the extrusion; this might be the solution to 7:25

[@milanstevic8424]

"evens the thickness" for some reason my brain just read Evan Dickens xD

[@AlexanderGarzon]

Hi, and where is the palette link? (not the gradient). Tx

[@shemargreen7451]

you should've made a cowboy game

[@ceifeirosdgameupbge]

Jogo incrível 👆👍

[@Adel508Tkd]

Can you please start a series on how to make a 3d procedural generation dungeon levels?

[@slovianskypierog]

Man why shill no info about MC4?

[@chrissyoutubechannel8679]

Is it hard to make a game regards Chris got some ideas for some low poly games

[@amjadtbssm]

Game preview looks awesome, what's the name???

[@uegamedev272]

Need exactly these RTS buildings for my game (Preview in my channel).

[@donovanbaine8842]

could some one guide me any tutorial how to make these kind of maps in unity

[@AnkushKumar-ur8ct]

You're Cool😍

[@armyeatjin5619]

thank you for your tutorial .where are you from ? I am myanmar.

[@milanstevic8424]

you're exactly half way in between him and the opposite point from him on the planet

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

:)

[@theexterminator9913]

can i get the game

[@abdou023]

What is the point of doing it in just 10 minutes? Why don't take your time and properly explain each step and why you are doing it? What purpose does this "10 minutes challenge" serve?!

[@vinodvs8865]

I can never work out how to get the colour to change using that pallet. I have it there and work with the UV tab open, but it never works. Could you do a short video on how to do it please?

[@crazycat1380]

Use offset even to fix the problem with the extrude along face normals.

[@despoticwolf]

Love your stuff. I tried following along but I don't know how to color it like you did. All I have is a gray factory, looks bland. Sorry, I'm blender noob, thank you.

[@kinansy7114]

great work man loved it ❤❤ but your solid mode looks much different from mine why ??

[@jesse2367]

e to extrude s to scale! Love your vids
