The Arctic base
Hey, Polycount, you look beautiful today! Here's an UDK environment I've been cracking on lately.

Jungle Hideout - WIP
Well, I think I've spent enough time on this to commit to finishing it. This is an environment based on a scene from Casino Royale.

Unreal Shader Help

Can I have one thread linked to 3D art, UDK discussion and Sketchbook, so that anyone one those will all see the same thing? Or do… -

Do you always make a High Poly model?
How often do you guys do a high poly for baking props in environment pieces. If it were me I'd do a high poly piece for something that was a large object, or a key piece to the scene, but lets just say its a basic prop, like a chair or desk or something like that. Would you guys bother with the high to low bake? I was…
