What products?! Remember that Halo3 was released 2 years ago...

In terms of support post launch.

Just Finished

Dead Space - One of the best games I have played in a long time and one of the best Horror experiences in any medium to date.

Killzone 2 - Can't get into the multiplayer but the singleplayer as a lot of fun and I did take an interest in the story.

Playing

Halo 3 - I have yet to stop. Had the new maps for a while now, bungie put so much work into their products.

Halo Wars - The path finding is awful at times but apart from that loving Halo Wars. Great single player and the multiplayer is a lot of fun.

Also got braid on PC and am playing L4D with friends still and went back to GTA IV just to run around the city and play about.

Update:

Going to call it a day on this one, Dont think Its worth posting a final version. Thanks to everyone who offered feedback it was a big help as always.

Thanks dux.

I spent more time working on lights and adding some more details. I made mastakes early on that have limited this map if you will in areas. But i think I will wrap it up soon is and get on to the next one.

I droped it down to 8 and its all showing up very nice indeed now.

Thanks.

32.

I am testing some high ones out at the moment now that you have brought that into my head.

Right some new screen shots. I went though and removed all the lights and started again, I have went for a different sky this time and am no longer using a global light. I need to tweak some levels but let me know what you think.

Thanks

Mat

Quote from Hourences

Thats a cool course. It is exactly what I would want to do. Three months is just about perfect, and he asks a boatload of money for it. I wonder if anyone bites? Anyone happen to know anyone who attends it?You mean qantm? They are private, at least in Holland and charge 12000 euro or so a year.

Sentura sure, some info is never bad. Tak!

I think a few from game-artist.net have been or know more about it.

Things like this are becoming a lot more popular, intense and short programs I know there is a college called Quantom (can’t for the life of me remember how to spell it) that offers a degree in two years but I have no idea what the quality is like. I hear good things about escape studios. Its all 3D though.

It can be a good idea (IMO) to study something completely different that interests you. I am on a HND in Media Production and while it’s not an area I want to get into at the moment I love the production and post production of films, so its showed me I might like to make Documentaries at some point in my life. There are always the core skills like working in a team that you will get on most courses too.

I also only go three days a week so that leaves 4 to work on levels. Although I was very lazy for the first part of the year but getting a good few hours in each day I am off now.

I just went right click select all lights and delete. I spent a good while running though shipped Unreal maps and picked up on a lot of points that my lights where missing.

Yea they are with lights.

I have since removed the sky light and am playing around with spotlights to see if that can give a better effect.

haha great news.

haha DM fort the movie Confirmed.

Thanks for the feedback working on it all now.

A little video over view and some new screenshots. I added a little underwater area with a big heath upgrade. Need to make it look nice now.

Its what’s going to happen but its more likely Microsoft will buy them and use there tec and Sony will have something along the same lines or both are working on their own thing.

No Worry’s

All the lights as far as I can see should be casting shadows apart from the main sky one as it takes 5 mins to build each time. But yea the lights in general still need work.

Beta 1: http://www.mediafire.com/?unzzjkzucz3

Still have a good bit to fix up but if you have a copy of Unreal and a few mins to spare let me know what you think.

Some new screens too:

Sorry but I don't quite get what you mean. Don’t mean to be rude.

I did sort of post those last images in a very unfriendly viewing way, but I am going to post a beta today I hope with all the changes since then and a few new shots.

Its for Crysis Wars the multiplayer game that comes with it but crysis wars now has single player support.
