that first shot looks amazing. 

I think they're both pretty tasty :E 

nothing more to add ;) 

Stop it! You're going to make me buy ut3. :p 

You don't need UT3. It's udk, which is free UE3 distribution. You can have it for free, and make maps, or even games with it. 

So i would need ut3 to play it. 

so is there any single player gameplay with udk? or is it dm based unless you create your own batch of single players baddies? 

 

Is a sp udk made game. Pretty fun. 

With udk you can make both mp and sp modes/games. It's actually so easy to make different games like side-scroller, fpp, tpp and so on, that even non-coder can do that. Also it comes with small base of props, so you can make something fully working without need of making new assets at the begginig (you can even use those stock props in your commercial project). 

Hi folks, I got this eternal doubt:

-If I create a Q1 sp episode changing all textures/sounds may I charge for money(a small fee) those who download from my website ?

Legally, I guess a standalone project is out of question.. but simple levels ?

* I've read all ID legal blah-blah but I'm more confused than ever ! 

Is the simple answer =) 

If I post the same question in three different threads, are the answers I get only a third of the quality I'd get if I asked only once? 

And your penis shrinks to a third of it's original size too.... 

.. cannot make yourself a best mapper... though... :P

Did you make the models for the bridge, buildinga, etc., or are they in udk? 

Now it's starting to remind me of Borderlands for some reason - keep up the shwanky work Shadow. 

Udk has some basic meshes, and I put them together to have objects like bridge. I think one half of the bridge is composed of about 50 meshes and few bsp pieces. That goes for eveything you see there. 

Urgh don't make me go back to Ued you evil person :P 

sounds a bit like more advanced level editing in oblivion. you get basic things like cave meshes, but i've seen some people build caves and buildings out of scrap parts or single boulders. 

in shots 2 and 3. 

... really :D

i stopped mapping for crysis because i found that all i created were nice looking places and not actual levels. :P

it was very surreal. i'd look up and find i'd spent on hour "role playing" inside the map, driving trucks around and such. it was very strange.

that said, i like that the map has passage of time included, even if you don't show it happening.
that was one of my favourite things about half life 2, how time kept passing between levels.
seems like it makes a map feel like it's moving forward somehow.
