Nice Brent :) Still chugging along on the basics. I'm probably going to take a break from time intensive busts and study the planes of the face, the little I read into it proved very helpful! Thought I'd just post the "finished" piece as an edit, because it's the same model.
If you get stuttering try going into the console and type: mat_queuemode 0 I had a similar problem on my work computer (during lunch breaks!) with L4D1 and that command helped. I read in a thread it disables multicore support which for some reason can cause stuttering.
Just so there is no confusion, there is a work around to import one singular mesh. Check out this thread at the UT3 Forums: Character thread Its pretty long read through, but if you're interested in getting a singular mesh into the engine this is where to start. They are breaking through with some interesting stuff.
Texture changes are only viewable on the manipulator's machine; I doubt there's much of a way it can be detected by the server. But I have read of recent instances where changing a texture and reimporting it has caused WoW to break, so there may be some kind of integrity check by the prog itself.

So I'm taking a break from my environment project and I wanted to work on a weapon. I just wanted a little piece to add to my portfolio. I mixed those designs and shapes to make something more or less on my own. I didn't want an overkill design, something quite clean and simple. I added a little touche of my own, on the…
Dox, it's your project, I say do whatever keeps you learning. If getting the perfect bake is so frustrating that you feel like you don't want to work on your project anymore, get on to texturing and just finish the damn thing! And as long as you keep the same UVs you can try to bake again later down the line after it's…
Yea they did, but there are other things here and there that could be changed too I just didn't have time to write up more. Now that I know I'm not wasting my time or have to coddle ya, we can get down to brass tacks. The brackets that hold the pipe on actually have a little shelf inside for the pipe to sit on. I'm not…
