Re: UDK Dimensions
Unreal Units are Flexible. "In all of the Unreal Tournament games, 1 Unreal Unit is equal to 2 cm. In Gears of War approximately 2 Unreal Units equal 1 inch, because the characters are 156 units tall and a floor of a building is 256 units tall.

Re: Viking game character - BA project, looking for crits
Couple things: 1. You're using a soft texture brush and then not polishing it up with something tighter, so we're losing a lot of shape and interest. 2. Never use the 1 or 2 pixel size brush (like you did on his shield). Just looks bad.... really bad. Instead use a tighter brush (see #1) 3. Need secondary light source. The… -
Re: Snap rotation Maya..
i think I've tried that one and I couldn't get it to behave correctly sometimes because of the way it looks up rotation. Give that shot first, though. if not, I tested my quick script on constrained hierarchical things with animation I didn't add a gui though, so it just fully aligns to rotation and position. So hopefully…
