downloadable environments

samcole

Hi guys...this is going to be a odd ball question. I'm looking for a site that has environments that I could download, that are either license-free, or for a small fee, and re-texture to practice my texturing, lighting, and set dressing. Anyone have any links/ideas?

You could go through maps for Unreal Tournament or other games and edit away?

You might find this interesting: http://www.worldofleveldesign.com/categories/level_design_tutorials/how-to-reverse-engineer-leve-design-game-environment-art.php

and just have a general browse through http://www.worldofleveldesign.com/articles.php

I don't know if there's anything like turbosquid for game levels..?

As said, the standard UDK maps.
and/or you could build something (simple) out of the standard assets.

Tor Frick also has his sci fi level for download:

But then if it's more for just personal study (and actually changing the assets), and you want to put it up for feedback, you might want to contact him to see what you can do with it, and what not.

If your interested in DirectX 11 UDK features check out JordanW's Bathhouse scene too: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86767

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have Jordan's Bathhouse downloaded already. These would be portfolio pieces that I would construct with my own textures..but with models found/purchased already created. I might do some modeling, but I want to focus on just texturing.

I don't think there is a equivalent to "Turbosquid for game levels" I've done a search through Google and turned up nothing. It might just come down to digging through the various model sites I came across.

I release almost all of my UDK levels.

Well...time to get crackin' and studying your levels then. Thanks Chris!
