UT3 The Making of CTF-Pipeline

04:30 AM

Hello Again everyone.

I have been away from the BU community for a while as I have been expanding my knowledge into other areas. I'm teaching myself how to make my own textures, materials and meshes for a custom level I am currently calling Pipeline.

This thread is just a starter to document my progress. Unlike stratus, I will be documenting allot, and now that my new KB takes the view port screen caps there should be allot more posted.

About this map: The map will be of a small to medium size with a focus on detail (as with my previous levels). The level will offer some challenging routes that the player can use to attack and defend. I want the flag to be difficult to capture with opponents attempting to stop you from leaving the base, rather then lots of paths where you could make a sneak escape (BORING).

My Initial Ideas: Initially I imagine this map to be a dark and wet with a mix of Nature, old ruins, and a part industrial theme. The map will be withing a rocky canyon where a river flows through. There will be a sun on the horizon with a flair that shines through the cracks. No kismet events as yet.

I'm going to start with a step by step view of a material I have been working on for the floor. The red tile pattern was taken from the house next door

Level Development Overview
Layout: 70% Under Heavy Concept Development
Lighting: 80% Colour Picking
Meshing: 60% Under Development
BSP Materials: 80% Under Development
Level Construction: 1%
Kismet: 0%

For now if you could please refrain from posting unnecessarily as I would like viewers to be able to read through my posts consecutively.

Thanks for your support

more will come soon.

This topic will be interesting to read, just like with Stratus.

I do like this! Really enjoyed your last thread. Questions -> PM, you know!
Build it in 3D and make a nice Normalmap for it. It will look alot better. Or did you do some for it?

Edit:
Congrats to your place in the MSUC!
