My first try on UDK, Hunting tower WIP

hollandje

Hi,

The model I made was a train of thought I had within maya. I decided to try to import my model in UDK to make some good renders. The model is still untextured and this is the first try i'm going to use UDK, i'm also a beginner in maya. I will post my progressions along the way of texturing and hopefully soon to finish this. Here is the first screen:



I still need to figure out how to make a render in UDK though

Enter in play made press "T" then write tiledshot 4 and that's it.

I'm probably missing something but this happens when i use the command, the T doesn't work but the tilde (~) does work but i get this.

you want to use the "compact" console for that, wich is opened with the tab key.
Then you won't have that black console in the screenshots ^^

Thank you very much!! Now it's working! :]

no problem, and to get more feedback maybe post what reference you are working from.
Looks like a good start, only it seems to be a bit basic atm. (that is, if you are going for something realistic).

for example the support bars here have a L-profile, have a cutout so that the X-shape can be made,and are held together with bolts.

The ladder, how is that not going to fall over when someone climbs it, how is the roof and floor held on, and so on, things that make it feel real and not some boxes put together.
