May be old but I just saw the magazine today:

If my eye is trained as well as I think, those concept art scans look like our own Hawkprey's work.

Seeing Malcom reminded me of a scan I saw showing his 3D progression from UT, UT2KX, and Next-gen UT. Does anyone have this image?

so i'm gonna say the red guy prolly is a necris...
pity they're taking assault out, i like assault...don't mind not having bombing run or double domination though...
Scott
For some reason, this guy reminds me of john romero
I also like assault, it was alot of fun to play.
Those red guys can't be Necris, check out the middle guy. He doesn't look like a Necris at all. Plus, the armour should be black.
/me prepares to save up for Upgrades.
It's a shame, meanwhile, that with the opportunities they get from the new technology produced in-house, they don't come up with an art style that will use that technology to it's full potential. I mean, could be they think it works fine, but lets say, the way doom3 had its own technology that worked For the art direction, in Epic's games it comes the other way around. The game itself, in this case Unreal Tourney, meets this engine with pre-standarts that would serve the same art style that was used in the previous UT game. I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem they have come up with a new style and mood to the game, its still pretty much the same.
Again, maybe the relationship between the engine and the art is ultimate in this case, I'm not that familiar with the techy stuff (as usual) but it May be more "appropriate" to develop something that would really look new.
yes sometimes it seems so doesnt it
I strive for more, more often that not.
I wasn't complaining though. Check your receptions.
Something is filtering your thought.
Though I should probably check my english~~
rorshach, a possibilty to get to know who are the modellers for epic? Do they have some Portfolio site or something, iam really interested in the roots from the modellers. I guess its a not a bad idea for nextgen gamedev studios to hire from Television and Cinema Art departments.
thanks for the info.
And hey man this is so awesome. Im looking forward to the gameart in near future.
Now that we use normal maps, pretty much everyone here is a modeller. I'm 3d only these days as I want to focus on trying to catch up on the very large head start many people here have.
I think you are asking how people learned to model and if they have examples of their work for you to look at. Mostly, no, noone here really updates their site and those that do, don't house work on their site that reflects the standard of work they are doing here.
The red guy was modelled & textures by Aaron Smith, Malcom modelled and textured by Shane Caudle. Kevin Lanning works almost purely on character models, Danny Rodriguez models environments as do I and Josh Jay. Pete Hayes models vehicles, weapons, ambient characters, Kendall Tucker also models Vehicles as does Matt Hancy whenever anyone lets him stop making effects for everything on the planet, John Sheffield models and animates the weapons.
Most of the level designers are also hi poly capable and all the hi poly assets are textured by Maury Mountain, Chris Perna, Paul Jones and Mike Buck.
I think Kevin,Pete,Danny and Matt all did hi poly college courses and the rest of us just picked it up on the job.
Pete is the only one that I think has updated his site in the last year www.yemyam.com , it doesn't reflect the incredible work he's doing on the job though.
I hope this answers your question.
From what I see that first UT enviroment pic looks incredible full of life. You should be proud of the work you and Epic are doing Rorshach, damn am I ever jealous
Wow, i thought you picked up some modelleres from somewher for this game. Guess its time that i get into the industry instead of studing to learn all the stuff, like "by the way"
