Packed Level Actor and Destructable Meshes
For Enviroment and Set dressing we used a lot of asset packs. This allowed us to use PLA (Packed Level Actors) to quickly and easily create new assets. Many of these assets were also made into destructible objects to make the environment more interactive.
Some of these werde used as generic or unique POIs (points of interest)
Many PLAs were created on a small scale, or were generic enough to be used multiple times. This approach allowed us to build a library of game-specific assets.
