Toad Story; Sidescrolling UDK environment

Applethief

Hi! I'm working on a sidescrolling 3D environment in UDK for my final major project for uni. My end outcome should be a fully playable level complete with a custom player pawn.

At the moment I've got a playable whitebox done and have started work on implementing the player pawn.

Some concept stuff:










The character mesh:


I hope you enjoy my work so far, I'll keep posting about it here as I progress. In the coming week I should have the player pawn done and start the modelling process proper.

Any constructive pointers or comments you might have would be most appreciated!

Omg this is a great idea! Do you have a a blog or somewhere where we can see more?
Keep on trucking!

Yeahhh, apart from this it's mostly just technical boring stuff on there right now, though. Boxes and spreadsheets and whatnot.

Love it. Charming style you've got going on there. I look forward to seeing more!

Hi! Here's a little update on this thing.

Character's done...



I've spent a lot of time tweaking and re-doing whiteboxing lately, it's not hugely interesting. Been using this concept as a guide to make a rough whitebox.


This is just a horrid whitebox to test light and see if stuff read well and if the platforms weren't too tight and stuff. So at the moment I'm working on expanding and building on this from here.

I like a lot the whitebox concept. It`s not the same inside the unreal editor but obviously you can polish it...Also, character looks great...Hope to see more of that level like the concept. Congratulations.

yeeegads, this is nearly 2 years old and quite finished... or at least I have stopped working on it. Final result here, though, if you were interested. 



There is a lot I would do very differently now but that's the process for you.
