We have collected a bunch of good links for Unreal Engine 3.0 on our course website:

For all of you fellas learning unrealed, here's something worth taking a look at:

A ton of UT3 editor video tutorials

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/user ... 26290.html

It's the ones on the UT3 Special Edition, I already uploaded those to Stage6, which is dead now.

Anyways, that quality is so crappy that I can't even see anything, wtf?

I opened the gears version of the editor and was unable to find the material browser button. Anywhere.

Prop Library, ever TF2 prop in one level, sorted by vis groups for easy finding.

Does anybody know some good 3ds max tutorials centred around creation of props for games, the source engine in particular?

i'm actually looking for a tutorial for configuring max to export to .smd models (preferably one easy to follow). alternatively if someone has theirs set up, maybe they can guide me?

Just download the wunderboy SMD export/import files from http://www.wunderboy.org/

Set up your file (make model/texture/collision model).

Select the main model, export selected, select "Source SMD (*.smd) save as modelname.smd and select "export reference SMD"

Then again, export selected (same model), save as modelname_idle.smd and select "export sequence SMD"

Then hide your selected model, leaving you with the collision model, control+A, export selected as modelname_phys and select "export reference SMD"

That should be enough to make the .qc file and compile the prop for ingame usage.

About how to set up a model / file for export that needs a bit more explaining, but just make sure it's pivot is at 0 0 0, reset X-forms, use multi-sub materials and make sure the path of the .max file and the .tga file are correctly set up to use the same structure as your mod.

Hope that helps you a bit further.

you don't need the _idle one afaik. just tell the qc to reference the standard model again and you're good to go.
