Hi,
I'm looking to be pointed in the right direction towards becoming a professional level designer. I'm basically new to the subject and am interested in both level design and environment art. I don't have an artistic background, but I am looking for the best place to start. Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. I've actually taken a college course, but I didn't get much out of it... I also plan on using the UDK as I've seen it widely used on some of my favorite games like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Bioshock.
Thanks in advanced!
