I tried to focus on an environment that would have indoor and outdoor elements. Open space long distance, and possibilities of corridor close combat. Thanks!
Thanks to those who provided comments and feedback. Saw lots of cool work all around. Happy to participate, and look forward to more concept art contests here on Polycount.
So here's my final. It's called "Duel at the bell of the gods". Basic thought behind this concept is a giant bell in a temple that the Gen Mo'Kai used to ring every time they wanted to reach their gods. Ingame this bell could be used to create blast waves that push you through small tunnels to reach particular places of the map very fast.
Hello everyone! I love so much of the work provided here this will truly be an awesome Unreal Tournament.
My final theme... I wanted to create a theme to highlight the UE4 engine's water capabilities.
[Mid Tech] "Vortex" is a hydro power plant that uses the new gravitational vortex turbine technology. Part dam, part power plant and part water-slide. Players could transverse all parts of the level including the pipes when the current's aren't running wild. Other mechanics are possible such as entering into pumped pipes sucking them down and spitting them out somewhere else in the level, recycling the water and keeping the perpetual facility going.
Here's the dam running on auxiliary power. Mostly drained, paths open up on lower levels. And I spent time to work on conveying the main water vortex. In addition, the water could be completely shut off and drained for the whole area being a playspace.
The level is situated in a massive abadoned power-station in the middle of a drained ocean...Wide industrial spaces connected by bridges and narrow alleys characterize this gameplay.
hey,
this is on of my final entries.
UTMC- Shaky(shaky because i wasn´t sure about the setting^^)
WIP : http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137005
the setting should be including a mix between rock,technical sci-fi stuff and water to generate some variety-a contrast between smooth water,harsh stone and shiny metal
Pew, finally made it . The Idea is a mining facility on a far away planet. The facility is constructed from many parts. So that, wherever its needed you just transport the facility building kit and plug the different corridors and room parts together. Kind of like the containers on a construction side .
The theme is a facility built on a planet with significant lightning activity in the atmosphere. The facility is designed to harvest and harness said lightning.
Thanks for the contest and opportunity. This gave me a great chance to challenge myself and try to learn something new.
DM-Nova is a vertical 4 player map with 3 levels. It takes place on a scorched planet in a old Liandri observation outpost monitoring a star about to go supernova.
It was fun watching all your guys submissions and having something to jam on together. Best to all the entrants!
Here are my final 2 images. An old derelict prison, with tunnels into the solid glacier which has started to separate. Stay frosty!
Hey guys! Congratulations with all the awesome artwork you all delivered! It's been pretty crazy, since I started only last Friday and I've never digipainted before. So to say this contest has been an educational experience is a vast understatement.
Hey Epic and Polycount! I only had a chance to get started yesterday, but I'm really happy to have been able to enter this contest. The name of my piece is "Desecrated Gardens". I forgot to include the "UTMC -" suffix in my wip thread, hope that's ok. Anyways, hope people like my entry. In case it's needed, my personal info can be found on my website: http://derekrestivo.com/. Cheers.

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] There's a bit more grandiloquence going on in the W.I.P. thread, but what Jungle Gym is in basic is an automated ecological research facility, not quite derelict but undisturbed. Though built and maintained by researching humans, they only ever interact with Jungle Gym at its periphery, delicately gleaning information by the various bits of measuring equipment hidden throughout. An eye-contact-avoiding relationship like a zookeeper might have with the predators he looks after. But when seized as an arena for the unreal tournament, this precaution in a predators enclosure analogy becomes even stronger.

Obsolete would be a map set on a cluster of garbage propelled into a decaying orbit around a cooling sun (hopefully this dim sun could also serve to soften the light on metal reflection). Entirely automated, Obsolete would also probably fall within the derelict facility set as newly produced Liandri compacting equipment cube and stack bricks of outdated or otherwise irreparable equipment (mining machinery, tournament causalities, etc.), lifting off, as would be seen in the skybox, just as the metal of these moon-sized cubes start to glow from the heat.

Three shots from my level, which is based off a factory which harvests heat from active magma flows on a small planet that's burning up from the inside out. Once robust, the factory is falling into disrepair, and you have to fight amidst the chaos. First image is the level entry point and the one area that's still somewhat operational. Second and third show the chaotic journey through the rest of the level, which is full of environmental hazards- such as the out of control trains that pass by on the rails constantly, not to mention piping hot magma spouts.
