Unreal Tournament 3 PPM's

Snowfly

Think I saw this posted in a thread before but I can't remember which. Anywho! I stumbled upon some pretty concise tutorials to get custom models working in the game, including single piece PPM's. :-)

Still have to try it out to see if it works, but the author has some screenies of his character running in the custom character screen..good enough for me.

Custom factions are being added in the next patch too...Team Polycount anyone??

awesome find snowfly!

Actually one shouldn't trust the character selection screen :P Each and every shader works in there, but not necessarily in the game... See the polycount UT3 thread for more info :P

On the bright side, yup custom chars are possible, even now.

To be exact you cant make your own shader/material, you always have to use one of the default materials setups as a base i hope that is also something that gets fixed with new patch.
btw, allready made a full custom char :P screens

I used that tutorial to put my char into the game, now its updated and it seems all info is in there to make it work without the problems that i had before.

...a polycount faction would be cool...or a DomWar 3 faction ...a dom war polycount faction!

good find sir.

This should help a lot of the guys here that are interested in working on UE3 stuff.

Yea those are GEODAVEs tutorials (he posts on the epic forums). I worked with him and turned his Character tutorial into a video one, you can find it here :-

Its free ;-)

(if you have any problems downloading try using firefox)

I'm trying to do the same with the vehicle tutorial at the moment, I'll let you guys know when I have some decent vids.

Showster, sounds interesting But is there a way for you to put it somewhere where we don't have to register to watch it? In the YouTube age that feels a bit old. Up it at Vimeo, they have HD support there.
