#gamedev #gameart advice. I see a lot of students making levels as one big mesh in 3d apps.
Environments are usually made up from what are usually called "kits" of modular pieces.
Here is some of the kits for Hitman taken from their talk (link shortly).

Learning to plan out and make modular kits is super important part of your skill set. Designing modules that are reusable and reskinnable makes a huge difference to your workflow.
You can buy various kits on asset stores that you can look at to get ideas.

There are many benefits to a kit based approach:
Fast level building, easy to load and work on individual parts, kit parts can be outsourced or delegated across a team, modules can be quickly switched out, memory overheads are small and materials and textures atlased.

One tip is to keep " kit library" scenes like the one shown, with all the parts spread out and organised.
This allows you to keep the kit in your mind as a whole, see where there are missing parts and give the designers a menu to sift through.
