Hi everyone, i'm running out of time (and $$) to find a job so the last two months i've been really pushing to get more stuff finished and presentable for my new portfolio. While i'm still working on the layout itself, i'd be extremely grateful for any C&C on some pieces that will be going into the next version. I'l be…
Hello Guys. I'm pretty new in the environment design and i would love to hear opinions from you.I'm trying to create everything from scratch using 3d max,udk and Ps.In future my plans are to try to get a job as a environment artist so now i'm spending most of my time creating meshes for my portfolio. The first 2 pics are…
Hi everyone! This is my very first blog post about the project I started recently that I called Ancient Ruins. I want to set the entrance of a millenary temple into a tropical environment, located in a jungle in a realistic look. The goal is to work on modularity and the smooth integration of human structures into natural…
I have made some assets in Max some time ago. They are mostly modular, but at the time I weleded them together, they have no back faces, and I had no concept of keeping things "on the grid" for UDK. Now I find myself rebuilding them. Most of their old asset's textures come from 512x512 maps that are box projected onto…
So, I came across this excellent painting by Alex Broeckel of Captain Nemo's office inspired by Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and I thought it'd be fun to recreate it as an environment inside UDK. The main things I want to accomplish with this project are to gain a more solid understanding of the normal…

Been swamped at work these past weeks so progress is slow. :s Decided to hop around the scene a bit now that the modular kit is mostly done. Currently working on the material to get a feel for the scene, still a lot of tweaking and balancing to be done (fun!). After that is done I'll start on the bespoke assets like the…
hey, thanks d1ver for the link. Lol, u brought some old memories to me... good old times :P @joe gracey - I think u took a good approach by figuring out re-useble ans modular assets first, cauz it seems like the way to do in this situation. However, I think (and agreing with previous comments) that for now the actual…
ok so i have come across a problem i cannot get my head around at all and no tutorials can point me in the right direction. I had thought i had it figured out but i was horribly wrong, i have looked through some lightmass tutorials and how to UDK light stuff but a lot of them just say place lights and click build and the…
Thanks guys for your comments~ @quack : some tracks are just randomly set for now, I need to do a polish pass on it. Thanks for the input. @Helba : the building is mostly a tiling texture mixed with some trim texture to avoid the "hard edge" cut look. I'll try to post some more explicit images when i'll get the time…
