ESCAPE - Lost Cavern - Zoey Mitchell

Tiger300

Hello, I'm a first year student studying 3D animation at the University of Hertfordshire. This is my first time using UDK. My aim is to create a natural cavern environment that is the eternal prison for a petrified God.

Some super quick thumbnails to come up with interesting composition and to spark inspiration.

Noticed a few Hertfordshire students entering The Escape. Pretty cool, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Hey Lloydyy89, hopefully we won't let you down Thanks for the warm welcome.

Originally was going to have water at the base of the Cavern, however because of the textures used I could not import it into UDK. I did not pursue to learn how because I think the environment benefits without it.

Unfortunately the wireframe for my man was very untidy because I made a lot of mistakes whilst trying to lower the poly count.

Later on I had to re-import the mesh from Maya because I had realised I hadn't smoothed the model.

All these screen shots are relatively dark because I was just starting out to experiment with lighting.

It's been a massive learning curve learning UDK from scratch but it has been an enjoyable experience and I am proud of the result.
