Avatar level in UDK finished

[stereofiction]

yes very nice work i like it :) KEEP UNREAL AT LIVE!!!!

[Keyeszx48]

Two reasons I dislike this video

1) It looks nothing like pandora, just a forest with a few glowing shrooms.

2) Your frame rate is horrible. People should record if they have a strong enough computer.

[mattyovers1]

@Keyeszx48 Don't be so rude. It's people like you who knock people from doing what they love. It may not look like Pandora, but he has still put the effort in to try and make something look good. He is learning and possibly will one day become a level designer if that's his passion. If you give criticism, make sure you give it constructively!

[Keyeszx48]

@mattyovers1 I could have put more detail into the first reason and given some constructive criticism, you're right. But the second reason I stand by fully. It would have been better to put up screenshots and post them on forums and see how people responded to them instead of a choppy video.

[boss123456ification]

good but it kinda just looks like a forest to me

[whitequ33n]

esta bien macho

[Deathreaper091]

I like it

[soildermike]

i think its more of a turok map nice job!

[richieboyland2]

Whats the name of the song?

[pboost2]

@richieboyland2 It's "Song to the Siren" by "This Mortal Coil"

[lukassstyyy]

Wow just great, but the lag make good thinks looks bad.

[SOKOLEK]

@thenishanth420 Why!!! it is not worth an effort to do a lot of work in the engine not capable of rendering Avatar movie quality avatar like scene. I am not discouraging him. He just should use better engine, because his creation does not refelct richness of avatar jungle environment. Trying to do this would kill engine. Do something that is excellent and outstanding and use top quality tools if necessary. Cryengine would handle this better.

[bibickmo]

I think, u can du it better. Make more foliage and do better textures.

[SOKOLEK]

Not worth a sh!t!!! Avatar movie had at least 10x denser foliage and a sh!t load of light emmiting surfaces.

[thenishanth420]

@SOKOLEK GET LOST!!! Can't you support or encourage someone for their hard work? It looks GREAT! :)

[MrChaosmarine]

nice work mate, not bad at all :D

[mayboz127]

really nice (:

[Tomyvkano]

Pon para descargar el map y poder ver como has hecho algunas cosas! Se agradece!

[0rionwarrior]

looks like unreal tournament to me! =/

[OZpodster]

Hey im looking to make an rpg with udk but i was wondering is there another program out there designed for creating characters/weapons/armor etc....and is it free? thanks :)

[drewerd15]

@OZpodster look up blender.

[OZpodster]

@drewerd15 k  thanks

[OZpodster]

@drewerd15 k thanks



[pboost2]

Objectives are done in UDK's kismet, rightclick, new message etc. But you have to toggle it, if true-if false, whatever you need for the job. I made the models in 3d Studiomax, but any other 3d modeling program should work.

[FrancoLuke]

cool, but a couple of questions...  how do you put objectives? and how do you create your own models?

[sharpezor]

i see you

[02dartda]

its better than the official avatar game already

[kyziken]

I Applaude you

'clap' 'clap' 'clap'

Are those mushrooms static meshes or BSP?

[pboost2]

@kyziken Those are static meshes, with an emissive material applied to them.

[drytaffin]

@pboost2 You should had spawned a light actor inside ! :)

But great.

[kartog22]

@pboost2 How long did it take you to make all this?

[pboost2]

@kartog22 Maybe a week or two, and not the whole day, the light takes up most of the time. And browsing forums on how the make the messages, watch the 3dbuzz video's on kismet etcetc

[sereda008]

Cool, but I would not like to play it.

[icecondor]

your player is a snake? its view is from the ground õO

[debs222]

needs LOTS more foliage

[SuckItLily]

WORST song to the siren cover EVER

[YoungGO1990]

MOAR GREEN!!! NEEDS MOAR GREEN!!!!

[krotanah5]

You should drop down the fog, add more folliage, and check the poly count on some things (the level looks kinda choopy with framerates) and get learning with creating new weapons and custom characters! :D You could create a deco mesh brush for the terrain and make grass in a swap.

[pboost2]

@krotanah5 I used the green fog because the giant leaves are blocking the sun. I didnt use custom weapons/characters because you don't see any of them in the video. If I use a mesh for the terrain it won't have any collision, so the player will fall through it, and I like it when you can walk all over the level, and I cant use decolayers on the terrainmaterial. And I found a way to make some decent grass now, but it's not in this video. I am planning on making a game soon, I'll use your tips:-)

[GalacticGuard]

Very nice! I would ad some more grass or grass-like texture, because the level isn't as lush green as in the movie. But really, nice job!

[mugofdoom]

It looks pretty good, but the fog is a tad overdone.

[Dacurath]

wow, this vastly different from you 40% mark, great job!

[feeble2009]

Is it just fps games you can make with this or can you make like a rts

[pboost2]

@feeble2009 It's more suitable for fps, but you can make a topdown (isometric view), I guess if you are good at scripting you could make a rts, but it won't be easy.

[appezeanie]

@feeble2009 You can make anything. You just have to know how :)

[tylerboy565]

This is fucking amazing dude...

[evildude7474]

woah this is sweet dude, the best I can do at the moment is make a checkered square, do you think you would be able to tell me how to place a basic object into the game?

[rjchris2u]

I take back the glowing plant comment. I see a little texture but you need to emphasize it more.

[rjchris2u]

its good but I wouldn't consider it finished. In Avatar there was so much foliage that you couldn't see the ground. Somehow you need to come up with a way to do that. Even a foliage type texture would help but not make it cutting edge. Also there were more glowing plants. The plants in this were just a really bright color, they had no real texture to them. You got the basics but you want an environment where people don't need to read the title to tell what universe this is taking place in.

[Bubbbla97]

good job dude looks great keep

keep dong it

[RobJohnB95]

this is very good, i'm unsure about the lag, is that the recording or is it actually like that?

shame that the vid lagged but this looks awesome either way..oh i subbed btw

[Cobac]

may i give a friendly advice ? get rid of the fog make it look more colourish like in the movie with more light and stuff

[EMOSSUCKABIGCOCK]

Niggers did UDK.

[armybandspc]

@EMOSSUCKABIGCOCK what a weird thing to say...

[grineti5]

Is there something like a sound zone? like when you get to a certain are in a map it plays a sound (like the dragon in your video)?

[pboost2]

@grineti5 Take a look on the UDK online documentation and look for " Reverb"

[thaWTFguy]

dude this is awesome! you might want to make the foliage a little more dense though

[MugenPlaya]

DUDE, NICE. I'm learning UDK and I need to know how you did the objectives on the bottom left. Thanks a mill.

[pboost2]

@MugenPlaya It's in kismet, new sequence using a trigger, there is a "message script" for it

[MugenPlaya]

@pboost2 Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

[XllL00tXll]

Isn't that song on The Lovely Bones?

[pboost2]

@XllL00tXll Pheew I dont know its" Song to the siren" by "This mortal Coil"

[dangitwork]

@XllL00tXll yeah it was

[jakelhybrid]

Is that the refresh rate of the map in-game? Or was it just because you were recording? Cause honestly although it looks pretty, it it actually runs like that we need to add in some visual falloff, otherwise it's not going to work particularly well as a game.

[icexiro]

for me is hard but not for map making (at least if you want kismet and all that triggerish stuff )

i need help with a character (i do the model and animation ) i just need help to put it work in udk

a zombie

[fireballwaw1]

nice map ! 

[narutodamp]

is UDK hard to understand if your a beginner ?

[pboost2]

@narutodamp No it's quite easy I think, I don't know really I have been working for quite a while with Unreal Engine. It's more like a drag and drop programm, just make sure you know the basics, like making a room add a few lights, a playerstart , weapons etcetc and you are ready to go. Try to find some video's and tutorials about it.. the internet is full of it.. Good Luck :-)

[UnrealPHD]

Great work man~! It looks very good. I love the song choice too. I saw this vid before, but this time I wanted to give you a shout.

[NilsSjoq]

your getting close but there are to less collors

[DarkIP992]

that must've been a hell load of work

[BenMcCormack91]

Not familiar with the limitations of the UDK, but the only thing I noticed was that the color scheme seems to tend toward the dull side. Could just be the engine itself, though - I know that in Mass Effect, the closest they were able to get to vibrancy in their color scheme was by throwing really bright lights in. A bit too much post-processing, maybe? Or just some timidness with the color work?

Otherwise, really good though.

[Aryanpars]

Try CryEngine 2, UDK belongs to console generation

[SgtHikaru]

@Aryanpars What.

[discoveryfreak]

wow nice dude, i want that i can do that, good job!

[haakonVII]

Ho did you get the default weapon to disappear?

[pboost2]

@haakonVII On the maintoolbar click View/Worldproperties/Worldinfo and check the box behind "No default inventory for player". And if you want the HUD to dissapear to use the console command " showhud"

[haakonVII]

@pboost2 Excellent! Thank you so much.

Awesome game btw!

[wwijsman]

cool, have a link?

[chrille92lind]

when im trying 2 do the ambient soundnoonloop it dosent work anyone know why??! :)

[LordHawake]

Have you tried the new foliage effects from UDK 03/2010 ?

[julithekille]

lag

[Biztone007]

Are you open to side project using UDK....such as a ninja based game

[Raikick90]

Did you make those plants in speedtrees? Looking good ^^

[ThumbsDown112]

eh ok i guess

[incrediblewill]

that was amazing

[IrishWarCry11]

I feel like such a noob

[marinhocp]

parabens ficou top.

[hydzior]

Cool . But i think that you need a little more foliage :] .

[JMiguelDS4]

@hydzior yes ur right and he needs blur effect ,less fog and those "fireflies" that the avatar rforest have

[benzie13]

that was sweet. really inspiring

[azneraz]

this is great i love how you went and the direction you took to create this. A;though i must make some suggestions, try and saturate to colours more and have some more ambient ligting for the details, cos it just looks a tad dark. also pump up the view distance to make it looks much more epic. i hope this helps. and again great work =D

[pboost2]

Just kept it a little to the dark side so that the mushrooms would lighten up better.

[theking199012]

cool

[VideoDracula]

Hate to be a critic, but the only part you could possibly improve on is the "swimming" part. You seem to have a blurred / blue camera vision while the camera is above water level.

Other than that, very nice.

[GuruOfTheInternet]

I think that is an engine error, not the designer error.

Although I did like the idea, the map was very dark and closed in. The world of Pandora is a massive wonder and depictions of it should really capture that aspect. I understand that the unreal engine is not capable for large persistent worlds, but their are other ways to create the illusion. I'm not the one to ask though haha.

[pboost2]

I made a 3 seconds delay, from the moment you come out of the water, so when you're exactly on the water level, you go up and down, but to short to fade out the blur. Let's say there is still some water in your eyes :-)

[MagnusRulerHardt]

@VideoDracula

The fading makes that more realistic.

(Btw, sounds like the woman singing said "dinner dream".)

[keltar2007]

HTF did you do this? I'm loving it!

[pboost2]

It isnt that difficult to make you just need some inspiration, avatar did that part.

[Mathesmatte]

good work, we make a game with similiar plants all drawn by hand and in Blender check my work you will see ... give 4 Stars for your work you get the last if there are updates of it keep it up

[pboost2]

Thank you, your work looks great to, have to check better soon. I dont know if there will be anymore updates on this video, the level is finished. But maybe the terrain could use some more glowing textures...

[Mathesmatte]

more plants...well i know its much work we are extremly working on this so there is a wide range of sorts of plants....i think your level needs more like a big massive Jungle ;-P

[Irstygirl]

good work looks professional :-)

[pboost2]

Thank you. Nice to hear a girl likes my level too :-)

[Pharion3d]

great work m8, well done

[falconianuk]

nice music, is that from the movie?

Love the level design also, keep up the good work, hope to see more in the near future.

[pboost2]

The song is called "Song to the Siren" by "This Mortal Coil". You have to google for the album :-). But it is not from the movie.

[1992Death]

cool 5 stars

[pboost2]

Thanx m8 :-). Glad you like it!

[dcmccants]

Donde esta Neytiri? =P

[pboost2]

She was hiding from the camera, she is shy :-)
