Thank you for the encouraging words guys :) This has grown to be a multi month project and getting this great feedback is so encouraging. @Treboras, I know a lot of people diss them, but I like mayas stock tools the most. I tried my hand at roadkill and even 3DS but maya just feels intuitive :) @steppan, thank you for…

And then export them as separate objects, then I will bring them into udk and the child will be placed in relation to the parent object? I have a building with windows on each wall.

Exactly, everyone makes mistakes. Stick arround and lurk for a while untill you learn what kind of posts to make. If you ask the right questions in the right way you will get answers.

If you're international expect it to cost a lot more. Many countries have specific rates for residents and those rates differ from the actual rate (which international students have to pay). Expect a year of college in places like the US or Australia to cost $35k a year on the low end. Every country has different rules…

I still kind of suck when it comes to baking so maybe I'm wrong but my guess is it's related to this http://polycount.com/discussion/81154/understanding-averaged-normals-and-ray-projection-who-put-waviness-in-my-normal-map/p1 I think the metallic material is…
