UDK Environment Work Questions

EvilPixills

Hey guys, been some time since I last posted on here. I Have started doing a lot of new environment assets and I am planning on using UDK to show off my work.

So far I have a scene well into production and plan on posting some progress shots on here soon.

A few questions to the experienced users:

How would you recommend capturing images of your work within the editor? Should I just maximize the render view port and use print screen or should I actually take shots within play mode?

How do you hide the hud and weapon? I can't seem to find the console command, or I am just totally blind.

Any other tips and or advice would be very helpful. Thanks.

I usually just hit print screen. I know there is other ways to do it with commands but I've never got them to work.


`/~ tilde - brings up the command console while playing the game in the viewport etc..

I'm assuming your using UDK. to get rid of the weapon hit
~ then type togglescreenshotmode You may have to do it twice. you can also type in ghost to float around like in spectator mode.

And if you type fov# ex. fov90 then that will change the field of view. 90 is the default fov

Yep - the "tiledshot" command is the way to go. Keep in mind that this has some weird tiling issues with HUD elements, but for straight screenshots it shouldn't be an issue.
