This video series teaches how to build a white box to placement point system. It explains the system from a high level and won't go into the step by step building. The system shown was made for a year 2 nhtv art project aimed at making procedural artists work together with level designers.

01 | Overview

This video is an overview of the whole project. In it you will find the project brief, goals and a short showcase of the whole system. In this video series a explanation is given on how to build a white box to placement point system.

02 | Merging FBX Files

This video will cover the first section of the system: importing fbx files into a single node using python.

03 | Cleaning Geometry

04 | Adding a Grid

This part will cover a method to apply a grid to odd shapes whilst also adding in doors.

05 | Placement Points

    If this was step-by-step as opposed to an overview, it would be definitely be on my buy list.
