However there's is something else I would like to point out, from my personal perspective as a male gamer : I don't think there is a *single* game character out there that I personally relate to simply because it is male, or because this given character… -

Re: UDK - Renaming Packages/Copy Data not working?

It's one of most black-magicy parts of the engine :( But here's some tips I've found to be helpful: -be sure you ALWAYS rename/move the assets in the content browser, via the right click menu--this is weird that it doesn't propagate references for you… -

The Level is very symmetrical, and features automatic doors, elevated platforms and… -
Abstract waving cubes - World position offset - Tutorial
I saw this topic coming up from time to time, and today I got involved with one of them so I decided to just make a writeup about how to approach this effect using Unreal Engine: References: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld_peIKWE3A https://videohive.net/item/abstract-surface-of-moving-cubes/18266215… -

What Flaagan's been up to the past 4 years [portfolio]
Heya folks, been out of the art posting area of the forum for a while now. For the past ~4 years I'd been working at Cryptic Studios as an fx artist on multiple projects, and got laid off at the end of October; time to get caught up with what I've been up to. Due to comments from former coworkers, I'm removing the video…
