Perfect. Straight to the point with no fluff. Great for people already familiar with 3D modeling packages.

[ShellmanDeluxe]

Great tutorial, Finally a tutorial that is easy to understand and that goes straight to the point :D

[ThierryBitz]

wow you are a really good teacher. great explanations! I will follow your tutorial series and hopefully will be able to create something by myself ;)

[SethonanGaming]

depends on what you want to make; UDK is good for starting design; even tough Blender is even better for prototyping.
UDK is not less complex than unity either; it's just more high level so you don't have a lot of control out of the box with it, but you could learn unreal script and program what you need.
Unreal Engine has been used for MMOs llike Tera and Lineage 2; action games like Arkham Asylum and other genres that aren't FPS; so don't think it's limited.

Very informative and great examples thank you sir.

When you subtract from the interior, wouldn't it be easier to just make the brush hollow?

[Yoni]

I did this but I still dont know what a brush IS lol

[Bob]

So when you make something with this free unreal development kit. Are you allowed to make profit from it?

[SuperGCNBoy]

Is there a way to get the 3 grid views onto one viewing screen and hit a button to switch between the 3? Like CoD4 Mod Tools if you've ever used that.

[BowlingGrisen]

Selecting new map only allows me to select Blank map, and different lightnings.
What do I do?

Question: When I hit W, the static meshes do not vanish, but the vantage point moves forward as in WASD. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

[WorldofLevelDesign]

I personally like UDK, Cryengine and Source.Not in any order.

[Glatorix]

So additive could be used to create raw models and subtractive could be used for details. Like say you were to use additive to make a rock, yeah and then you use subtractive to make carvings and make a statue. Could that work?

[Leijona]

It depends what are you doing and what are your needs.

[sofyanmaghrido]

hey ..can you tell me how to use viewport in this engine.( i mean like the video above)

[travisleggett]

how do you open the 4 panel window to view all the different angles

[Goodborni]

It seems more easier than Unity should I use this instead of Unity and is it more 'PC demanding" than Unity?

[OlikovFilms]

Same thing, W just moves me forwards. Can't find any disable static meshes hotkeys or buttons.

[yoqiu_]

How do I change out for the four views? It only shows one view in which I can move around in.

[DarkSansTV]

dude, I'm stuck in player mode and I can't get out of it. please help?
