Unreal UDK 2011 Beta (School Project)

[adam99x]

Just to let most of you know that I'm currently in college learning to be a game designer. I'm also working on, this quarter, Unreal Engine, Photoshop, and 3DS Max modeling software. So far, this is the best quarter by far because we get to final play around with the tools that actual developers use. Now, I'm not expert by any means yet, but I wanted to show off some of the areas of my map just to see what you guys think. Now, this is just some basic assignment where we had to have 5 rooms with 5 different themes. I made mine a basic presence of space, but added lots of meshes (meshes = items in space; trees, statues, etc).

Just before you give me hell , just remember that this is pretty much our first assignment so it's not going to be REAL amazing. Also, these pictures are not the finished product. I'm going to try to record it some of it and post it on youtube and explain what I did and why I did it. Hopefully I'll have that done this weekend for fun.

Tell me what you think!

Also, what sucks about showing pictures is that it looks 10x better in motion.

Football and any RPGs, i must be part of an RPG man!

Heh, that looks good so far, Adam. I had a lot of fun in school using Unreal I don't do graphic design work anymore though since the economy collapsed, but I really miss it sometimes. Unreal is a lot of fun. I prefer Lightwave and Cinema 4d to 3DS max though. The older versions of Unreal let you import Lightwave models directly, but you gotta use stuff like collada now. I just got Lightwave 10 recently even though I don't do that stuff anymore. Heh, keep it up, bro, and put it up here for us to play when you finish it.

Im jealous, i want to know how to program games !

[adam99x]

you know, it's actually not that hard to do. Tim Sweeney (Unreal CEO/Programmer) made these tools easy to use. Of course, the hardest part is getting the room set up, after that, getting the lighting and items in the map is quiet simple...especially in UDK.
