The greatest advice i could ever give you would be never to say you're lazy. If your excuse for not doing something is because you can't be bothered, you'll often find little help from people. As for RTS development, check out Planetary Annihilation, the developers have been documenting the progress and design for the last…
EmAr on May 23, 2013 at 4:03 pm One step closer to the "Make Art" button. ___________ You need to generate the pieces it will instance, so in that regard the look and creative control is still on the artist. This just saves you the time of positioning, rotating, scaling and wrangling all those pieces into the final shape.…
Unity has a free version. You just don't get some of the features, i'm not sure which. Appart from what mortalhuman said, and more from an artist standpoint, UDK is better if you want to pimp your stuff, but for that you have even better choices like cryengine2 or the 3point shader.

Pressed and Released fire only once, when the button is pressed or released respectively. Down continues to return true so long as the button is held.…
I've never had a problem with UV flipping in UE so I can't think of anything to help you there, but the other stuff I can throw a bit of info your way for. If you want to use multiple materials then in Max make sure to assign them to different material ID's on your mesh, then when you apply the multi/sub-object material…
The problem with saying "its good for a 2nd 3D class" is that you fall into the trap of "oh we're students" and never step up to the pro level. When they hand out A's for that kind of work people get lulled into a false sense of success. You'll be up to speed a lot faster if you hold yourself to a higher standard early on.…
