should experiment with different colored lights in those unreal scenes to add a dynamic look :)

[Mtg_kirin]

ya I did in a few. Like the oriental one I have some orange lights to contrast the blue ones.

but ya for like the sci fi maybe cranked up the red a bit more. They were just quick time killers, usually before class or something

[Ged]

these look really good, looks like youve got a good handle on the engine, just need to see more of your stuff in there :) the music room is looking good but there dont seem to be shadows?

[Mtg_kirin]

no was just a viewport screenshot. so if u pull bcak that far they go away.

I have been fighting finals and working lately, but finals end tomorrow so more time for learning maya/unreal.

thanks ged!

O i forgot to post the level I made. my 1st dive into level design, aside from looking around in ue2

found this art test on gameartisans http://www.boanergesstudios.com/careers.php

so here is my progress so far. Im not going to hand it in, just for practice.

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/Mtg_Kirin/Untitled-1-8.jpg

so far ive modeled it. Did a semi high poly model and normal mapped it. Also started the wood texture, the blue texture, and started laying with the window... but not liking it

suggestions are most welcome and will be appreciated

[Mtg_kirin]

some more progress on my ak-47 shortened rifle hi poly. Still not done, but getting closer

was bored and was working on this kinda futuristic store front. I really didnt get much done and doubt it will be finished

those little planes on either side of door would be light rays if I finished it.
