Using Autodesk To Build Gears of War 3

Sean VanGorder · Oct 2011

Autodesk has released a video focused on Epic's use of Autodesk's tools in the development of Gears of War 3.

Check out this video for some valuable insight on how Autodesk's tools were used by the talented artists at Epic. It's also a great chance for rousing game of "Spot the Polycounter".

EDIT: This post has been updated to include the full video of the webinar, thanks to the heads up from pixelchaot.

oh please add the full version that pixelchat linked. It's so much more awesome and I must have learned at least 3 new tricks from it.

Isn't zbrush heavily used, which is not owned by autodesk.

I love videos like this, but it's kind of funny to think why they're even needed. Who exactly is autodesk trying to reach? They've pretty much got everyone covered.

So what does Epic get out of all of this - other than a bit of exposure for Gears of War 3?

Im gonna sue them, they blew my mind and now my room needs cleaning. Great stuff.

Could someone clear up what CHris Wells was doing with the two shoulder pieces. Is he going to reproject the highres details onto the low res mesh in zbrush or mudbox?

Cheers guys

What is the plugin that the character artist has at 4:05? Also how is he smoothing the geometry like that?
