Tree House
Right now I'm working on a tree house, all assets are made with 3D max, Zbrush, Photoshop, and the environment is Inside UDK.
Crits Welcome, I also need help fixing the decal clipping. Once you go inside the house, you'll see it in the posters.

With the clipping you can try moving it further from the wall, sadly the nature of this engine the threshold isn't too good with decal distance. It can cause other problems if you move it further apart making it look floating. Personally when it comes to UDK I try to avoid plane on plane layers and incorporate such things within 1 texture. I noticed right at the end there doesn't seem to be a sun where the rays are emitting from but I'm sure you are already on that.

I'll try moving the decals further from the wall as suggested, also looking into z-fighting with decals, and the posted tutorials for more information
Phil, thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to work on the sky a little more, play around with the clouds and add the sun effect. Also, going to add an escalator up, and improve the environment, give it more variety.
SltrOlsson, the idea behind the scene is that the tree house was build on the tallest tree that was found in order to get away from civilization. Place to partake in solitary activity such as reading, and painting.

I'm just diving into the world of the UDK myself having troubles getting good outdoor lighting doing a forest scene myself, how did you get your sky to be so complex and your lighting so great
For the lights its just a dominant direct with cascading shadows, and a few point lights here and there to add interest in focal areas. As for the sky dome, its an animated materials, everything made using layers within the material editor. Similar to compositing where you add the clouds, stars, and colors individually on its own layers.
May I know how you rendered the vehicle? And how you got the glass to look like that?
