Modeling for Unreal Tournament 3

UT3 is very good FPS game based on very powerful engine. Unreal engine 3 is driving a lot of games and few of these you may be playing yourself. It provides highly detailed models, textures, effects and everything in between. More about is available at Unreal Technology site.

 

Games like UT 3 come with smaller or larger number of maps with very detailed and crafted meshes and models. Creation of meshes or models can be is very demanding and creative process. Unreal Editor is quite good editor but it can get you only to a certain level in map/character design. To release your full potential use applications like Maya or 3D Studio Max.

Guys at 3D Buzz have always been great in providing detailed tutorials for a whole range of applications and among these are Maya and 3DS Max.

 

Now they have released a brand new 6 part tutorial how to create an AT-AT walker for Unreal Tournament 3. Videos are available here.

AT-AT

 

If you are interested in modeling in 3D Studio and UT3, grab a cup of coffee (you'll need more than one if you are going to watch all of them) and keep your eyes peeled.

Oh, there is one more thing -you need to register to see videos 2 - 6.  Registration is free and I believe you won't regret it, so go on and register.

Lengths of videos are:

  • Part 1, Getting Started - 26 min
  • Part 2, Base Foot Shell - 57 min
  • Part 3, Toe and foot pad   - 33 min
  • Part 4, Underside of foot - 26 min
  • Part 5, Ankle track - 49 min
  • Part 6, Foot/Ankle details - 35 min

This shows how to create a attractive model that can be placed in the game and with good textures used it's a sure thing!
