Thank You, Sir. I still have some work to do to it. May redo the Rims and such, adding a missile launcher to the top.

They're tweaking it, I'm going to try and texture it soon.

here's a Sawblade I designed for our "Sawblade Gun" in Production, fully textured.

Thanks! If we use it, I can't wait to shoot them. The idea is to make alternate fire tilt the gun to the side and shoot them vertically.

After much debate, we have decided (in our gaming development crew) to switch from the Torque Engine (which is outdated and no longer supported) to the Unreal Engine (or UDK).

It is free to download, actually. Anyone can try it out.

I use to make maps for Unreal Tournament, there are a lot more options now though. I'm excited about the potential for the game, Torque required a lot of coding work for the graphics which slowed down our progress considerably. UDK has a lot of those capabilities already in it. We can still use all of our models and texture UVs and whatnot.

There are loads of tutorials (many of them video), going through as many as I can to re-familiarize myself with the engine. Then I'm going to go map-making crazy.

Anybody like Portals!? I made some.

the possibilities are endless. I will have some more up soon.

that was pretty slick. i got lost fast lol.

Haha! Thanks! It is just TWO rooms, can you imagine playing a whole map like that? I want to get crazy with it. Like you're running down a hallway and look up and there is another player running on the ceiling. You get in an elevator and you come out on the ceiling of the same room and it's now you're floor. It will be like playing an Escher painting.

The frame rate sucks, sorry about that.

[Smackintosh]

Thanks! I'll have to see what happens, but I'll give you heads up.

IDK, but for access to my evil "bastardry" (a word I just made up that seems to work) I only require your first born... jk. One day the clan can hopefully playtest it and maybe it will be good. No promises, but I only promise my best.
