3D Locations For Mobile Game • Single City

We developed 3D video game locations for Single City, a unique strategy and life simulation game. Our team used an original approach to craft these environments, combining high-poly and low-poly models with camera-based UV projections. This technique allows us to create detailed 3D environments with fewer polygons, resulting in visually rich and performance-optimized game settings. By projecting rendered 2D sprites onto low-poly models, the visuals appear pristine from a fixed perspective, which is especially effective for games like Single City, where the camera remains static.

1. Initial sketches (when needed) — foundational designs for objects and scenes
2. High-poly modeling — highly-detailed 3D models with extensive poly-count
3. Lighting with an HDRI map — mapping for realistic reflections and illumination
4. Texture creation — assigning materials and colors to models
5. Rendering projections — generating multi-perspective visualizations of models
6. Low-poly modeling — refining the model for enhanced performance metrics
7. Applying projections to the low-poly model — integrating high-res renders onto the streamlined model
8. UV mapping — ensuring accurate texture alignment on the model
9. Exporting the model for game integration — finalizing in the necessary format for optimal game integration.
