Ok so i figured out that udk uses a defualt AO in its world properties, and as you can tell its way to big and silly looking and i would like to scale it down. The issue is there is only a check box for the ao post processing. Does anyone know if their is away for me to keep the AO but scale it back a bit? thanks

Ok...so I need a big critique on this- please tear 'er apart!

Lit in -UDK,
-Around 80k tris total
Textures are generally 1024x1024, but smaller things are at 512x512

After the Dropship model I re did, I knew this was going to be my next piece I was going to push and polish even further...

I know a lot of things need work, lighting and FOV, maybe expand the work more into a "valley" type level. Also more objects and detail, overall construct the level layout better.

The idea is this was inspired by a Fantasy Action/RPG game, not any one in particular, I took some ideas from a lot of different games and mashed them together, but all in all this ideally would be for an action RPG game.

Anyways, thoughts/comments and critiques are much appreciate and needed.

Thanks.

hey, iv been trying to model lips in zbrush and iv been having a fair bit of trouble with them and i was wondering whats the best technique for making just simple lips,
iv had a look at some tutorials and stuff that i found through google but most of them make really detailed lips and all i want is to just get the basic shape down and deal with detailing later on (that and most of the tuts iv found confuse me lol)

seems that mine always end up really blobby and stupid looking

thanks

Hi everybody, i have been modeling for about 5 months with some "breaks" between, but i think its time for my first enviorement.
I have been playing around with some sketches for the last two days of a couple of map ideas, and i came out with this one.
Its basically a misile lunch area hidden somewere in the forest, with some bunkers, containers, carates and some typical stuff. For this one i will be using UDK, it has proven to be just excelent

My goals For this project are:
*Getting started in the enviorement workflow
*Learn about UDK materials and particles
*Become a better artist
*Finishing It of course

Concept:
So far, this is the basic layout, i will be adding more stuff if its necesarry once i have blocked it out in the engine


References:
1)Bunkers
2)The missile silos themselves
3)The forest sorounding the Site
4)Containers
5)Dirt Road
6)Guard house, with a barrier
7)Container
8 )Crates
9)A hole in the ground where you can see some pipes

Okay, i will start blocking it out now, i will need all the comments and critiques i can get, so i can get the most out of it. Thanks for your time and patience :)

Hi

I am looking for some Zbrush alphas that I can use for architecture. Patterns and emboss styles. I've tried searching the internet but keep coming across organic alphas

I was doing the Video Tutorial: Project Master Techniques with Sebastien Legrain from the pixologic site. In video 3 he shows using an alpha (SYDE0114). I am looking for something like this.

Any help welcome.

I got this book "Game Environments and Props" and, I am in chapter 2. I need to UV map this trunk but the book only shows me how to do it with the flat portion of the trunk, witch is easily done with a cylindrical mapping but..

I need help to UB map a curved portions of the trunk.. =o

I could just use cilindrical mapping with each section but that would be weird.

There is a video in the CD that shows the guy using automatic mapping, but it does not show how to clean up this mess..

PS: I am new and am starting to learn this stuff, I would appreciate if somebody give me tips and a good tutorial link.. =o
