I don't think your hardware is powerful enough to run all the fancy features in UDK. You should be able to use it, but all the advanced lighting and material things will do strange things, like you see in the default scene.
cool. i love the aesthetic...wish more games would use the power of new computers to throw simple shaded and lit polys around... think i would have thrown a bevel/chamfer on everything environment side, was there a reason no to?
@Beard3D Bandit Thanks man! Yea I love Designer b/c you can make changes so quickly and easily, iteration time is insanely fast. Not so true with sculpting though! But both methods are insanely powerful :)
here my first idea for azir the aztec emperor ! i have a lot to do. im pretty happy about the concept but my azir look like a chaman, but i want him to be majestuous (not fabulous) ,holy, powerful , and royal.
Nice hacks you got in there, but in production env that would be to slow, and the final result is not that good, shading errors, maybe that can be corected. Here is something like what you made but in 1 min....nurbs and converted to mesh. Fusion Power :) ).
Awww. His facebook is unavailable. It was being flamed pretty hard very early this morning, and its gone now. As it's been said, its definitely not the end of the world, but it's fun to get the artistic hive mind to display some pyrokinetic powers :)
I actually liked the old energy absorb better. The way it suddenly bursts makes it feel more unstable and powerful. I'd like to see the small ball of light in the center grow as it charges up, as well as the outer field shrinking.
What if the vehicle is a type of spirit that shape shifts weapons, armor, and other mechanical pieces to form a vehicle, that is powered by the spirit. The spirit in some sense is the vehicle, but is controlled by a magic user/summoner that is the driver. Too obscure? Answer: That's for you to decide :)
Everybody I talk to talks about how amazing this scene was, how authentic and powerful it was. You guys did some masterful work here, and besides the effectiveness of the cg, was the effectiveness of the story telling you did with that cg. Amazing work !
I've gotten that error when the hard drive isn't working. Usually if I open up the case and make sure all the power plugs and IDE ribbons are secure that usually solves it. Nothin like the ol "jiggle the cable" fix!
