Cartoon Island

bgivenb

Hi, my name is Given Borthwick, and I am an artist from Seattle. Over the past few weeks, I have been learning how to use UDK, so as a learning project I am building a cartoon island environment. The idea is to use low poly models with semi low-res textures, but counter the look with photo-realistic sky and water effects, giving it more of a crysis meets TF2 look then a bf heroes look. All textures are hand painted, and all work is original except the sky and the water shader (Water is placeholder for now as I am going to make my own):poly121:

Added lighthouse and another building




Added grass, another building, redid terrain

As you can see, the water is not quite crysis like, but i intend to make my own shader with real-time reflections. Does anyone know of a good shader tut for UDK?

I opened up this post inside of IE and I can see that there are supposed to be 6 images, but I get the red X placement boxes instead of your images.

Fixed the problem. It seems that internet explorer does not show the pics from postimage.com, so I changed to tinypic

Cartoon Island is a based on comic as a same name. It has excellent graphics and video quality. Its game play is not too tough but it is very enjoyable and easy.
