Eat 3D announces Unreal Materials - Introduction
May I introduce to you an exciting new training video brought to you by Eat 3D (www.eat3d.com). In this demonstration the instructor starts off by giving a detailed explanation of commonly used material nodes In Unreal Editor 3 from Unreal Tournament 3. Once the foundation is laid its on to creating several full materials using only a few textures. This tutorial is appropriate for artists on multiple skill levels. If you have never used a material editor you should be able to follow along and understand. Even if you are experienced using the Unreal 3 material editor, you should pick up useful information throughout the DVD.
You get over 20 textures, free to use in your project, and of course several really useful UE3 Shaders.

The instructor is a sr. environment artist at Sony Online Entertainment and has been involved in making next gen games inside Unreal Editor 3 for over 3 years now. He has worked on titles such as Midways Stranglehold and Blacksite Area 51, and is currently working on an exciting unannounced next gen MMO at SOE.
Sincerely,
Eat 3D

Great work guys:)

I'll pick this one up for sure after my relocation and I have more cash freed up.
A few things I personally plan to address is trying to sound a bit more enthusiastic and also keep the pace of the audio narrative going. With the Pillar video, there were too many moments of silence, and with the Unreal Materials one, my voice is really drab in some places. (this is some of the feedback I get from trusted friends, they also like to giggle at my Texas drawl ;P).
If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
Also, if there are any professionals who think they would be interested in doing a video, write up a proposition and it will be considered by Eat 3D.
Thanks for everyones support, Eat 3D is quickly growing into something

Would you guys be interested in a UE3 particle tutorial at Eat 3D? learning how to make impact effects, explosions, fire, etc.

Just bought the old pillar DVD/training yesterday.
Riki, that lighting one sounds like a great idea. Thats something I'd have suggested, as I've noticed even the best assets get kicked in the ass by poor lighting. Would it be focused on environments again (as I hope?)
