ShadowM8: You can find good examples of the Unreal 3 environment objects (in-game screengrabs) here: http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/technology/ue30.shtml I don't think they have many (if any) wireframe shots of environment models there, though...
I was looking at the GDC class list and saw a GDC class "Art Content Creation for the Next Generation Unreal Engine" with Jerry OFlaherty and Pete Hayes. Definately one of the major classes I'm looking forward to (Mop I'll take legible notes).
Hey Rorshach How are you creating your environments? We've got some experience using the old Unreal tools and we're definetly used to working with very high res environments in Max but it would be good to know what kind of skillsets your looking for so we we can send some examples of stuff that applies. Thanks oKKun
Rorshach thanks for the discription on the enviornment workflow thingy I saw a building on one of those u3 screens and i wondered if the whole building was unwrapped and has no tilled textures, because i was seeing some rust on it but nowere repeated rust :O and how big would the resolution be than for one building :O umm…
Rorshach, I am an environment modeler and have experience with the unreal editor. At home 3ds max starts to lag at 10,000 polys, and I'm not sure i could even get to a scene with 100,000 let alone a million or two. If I were to submit my resume and link to website that showed low poly environments, would that be…
Hey Carl, I remember you, you were the first other skin artist I learned about after Bickell! I don't see any hi poly in your resume, you should bear in mind ( and in fact everyone applying should ) that Epic has moved onto Hi poly normal mapped technology so low poly skills won't impress. That said we are still looking…
Kevin: Work on environment assets for your resume, if you make that your focus you will stand a much higher chance of getting a junior position (based on your lack of industry experience) or intern position here. Those extra 'technical' skills are worth their weight in gold also as theres a host of extra techy challenges…
