Re: Nicks Thread of work and Crapness
Ive been working on a very small rocket arena for the past 2 weeks while teaching myself the Unreal Editor. Good stuffs. Here are some screenies of what I have so far. Since this is my first level since Duke 3d (and a TF2 map I never got going), I wanted to start with a very small level, so Ive based this idea off the… -
Re: Using 3D modeler to make Game levels?
I guess if you're not sure what a pixel is then the "for teens series" could be helpful. Personally I think they assume the average teen is a complete dumbass and waste too much time pandering to the lowest common denominator. At least thats the impression I get from the few pages I've skimmed while at the book store.… -
Re: Workflows for next-gen games assets
Starting from concept art, this is my workflow usually: 1. Blockout mesh to test in game to make sure nothing unexpected will arise from the asset - this can be very quick, as long as the proportions are correct. Just need to test stuff like player collision (eg. if the player has to walk through / around / inside the… -
Re: Quantifying Beauty In Representative Art
Polymiron, ha, I guess I'll take it as a compliment! :D I hope the full video has something else useful in it though ;) Oh, no worries Ray, I don't believe there's such a thing as overly critical ;) And yep I find extremely interesting too. Tbh, I sort of echoed marks question. I think the way most learners(and even a lot… -
Re: UE3 asset workflow...
Kevin's post pretty much sums it up but I'll share anyway. I have to say though, I wish I had the kind of time he does to spend on assets at work. No doubt they crank out an amazing amount of content at such a high quality bar, but the LD's there are masters of reuse and repurposing assets! The workflow and process of… -

Re: Fantasy Environment - WIP
Looks fun man, but i think you're over complicating the tree by putting it in as one garbeled mess from the get go. Imagine the tree standing perfectly straight and not twisted at all. Imagine it completely symmetrical with no unique detail from any angle. All you have to model and texture is one small cross section of… -
Re: Stromberg's Gameart book
First, can you post some of your reference? You can never have enough! Moving on, no-holds-barred crit time: It has potential, but it's just very boxy and undefined. It's the extruded-box syndrome that we all fall into when we model sub-d. The only part that looks like it is designed to be used by a human is in the back… -
Re: A Noob with Questions
Well, personally, I'd try to keep it to one object if you can. But if you need to, say, animate it inside of UDK with the help of kismet, then multiple objects might be a better idea. Like, you have one mesh for the frame, and one mesh for the door. And when triggered inside udk, the door mesh will rotate, while leaving… -
Re: Going Indie
Lovin' all the indie talk guys, it really is such an interesting and exciting endeavor to think about and it's always good to hear prior experiences from people who have made the jump in various ways. Sorry to spam but just read this and it's incredibly relevant:…
