Gears Of War Level Creation

[NeoSpartan]

Does anyone know where this video is from originally? or the name of the level designer?

[LATEXJUGGERNUT]

THIS MAP MUST'VE GOT SCRAPPED, CAUSE I REALLY DON'T REMEMBER THIS IN ANY GEARS LEVEL.

[Mattline1]

"this is a Dual core. this is actually a really high end machine". oh how times change! it's an interesting video though.

[MrMagicalToast]

The ps3 could easily run gears of war

the only problem is, on the xbox360 version, all of the textures are compressed to fit on a standard xbox360 dvd

and the way the system reads blueray is too slow to uncompress the textures quickly enough

that's why some games like metal gear solid install the game before you play, so load times are shorter

but the ps3 wouldn't have that problem because blueray disks are big enough that you wouldn't need to compress anything

[FordGTGuy]

@tupac1421

The PS3 has the advantage of bluray allowing for uncompressed textures that do not need uncompressed while playing which frees up RAM and CPU power. BTW I own both a PS3 and Xbox 360 also, not to mention a hand built $1000 gaming computer.

[FordGTGuy]

@tupac1421

For one, it has been four years but my comment still stands, without rebuilding the game would not be able to run on the PS3. The PS3 still has the same RAM architecture as it did four years ago with two different pools of 256 MB of RAM that cannot be used together. So no the PS3's ram does not beat the Xbox 360's any day as the RAM in the Xbox 360 is a single pool of 512 MB and can be used at once all together.

[adamraco]

i do all this... this means i can work at epic? Ahaha

[deathelixer]

Those chicks make me like gears even more lol..

[llRoBoBinHoll]

Girls who like gears of war???

[aszuka]

I can tell you the easiest way to obtain assets. Get some kindof material like say clay, plastic, or wax, sculpt it, and then port it into using a 3d scanner.

You can do all of the work in 3d Studio Max, but that would take forever.

You want to get into the Video Game Industry, learn to sculpt.

[TruthThroughSarcasm]

Haha, they zoomed in on the wrong map when he was talking about normal maps.

[GameDesignStudents]

I found it entertaining that the level designer was talking about 3d studio max, photoshop, and the unreal editor as if all of the viewers already knew what they were. I think it was because he was nervous to be on camera and show off his work though...or the fact that a women was in the room with him. They will have you believe that game designers get all the ladies, but truth is, they are all gamers too, like the rest of us :P

[TnT3Ds]

I'm sure it was a combination of the two. I dont know how he could have simplified his explination anymore though.

[InfectiousFX]

Bitch is so stupid. "what happens when you say mesh?"

[KiNG5333]

I have a question

Can u only use Pre-made objects or can u make your own objects from scratch?

[fordzrule2]

you can create and import from 3D studio max

[jacobscamell]

You can make and texture your own objects in 3d programs.

[SilentBloodShed]

i luv this editor and i just learned how to use it..youtube has some good tutorialz on how to use it..btw thnx for uploadin this video :3

[laalex98]

WOW I love the Unreal Editor!

[tbrais]

those girls are hot

[keywolf23]

i need a tut from this guy..i have unreal editor, and i need some help!

[jacobscamell]

Go through every tut you can find. Thats how i did it when i was starting out and then i could teach myself by experimenting. Im learning to use maya now.

[RP7nitro]

What's better? MAX or Maya? I got MAX from a friend and I'm using these online video courses which are awesome, but i wanna know what 3d editor is better or what's the best one out there. Appreciate it if some1 got bak at me.

[Omikron404]

Max or Maya are both more or less the same. If you want to create some low poly Mesh's Max will be just fine. Most people use Maya in the industry, but if you master Max, then finding a job working with Maya won't be a problem as you will know how to model; the tranfer from Max to Maya will be easy. Some companies do use Max anyway.

[s4m2]

Level design is easy, it is, if you don't plan on making a good map. A lot of thought and planning goes into the structure of the map, let alone the artistic detail. You can learn the basic functions of the editor in a few hours, but to know the editor well enough to make a proper map would take much longer. Just because you read a tutorial on making your first basic box map doesn't mean you have what it takes to be a level designer. It takes months to be good, but it takes years to be Epic.

[RP7nitro]

yeh ur rite, but you also gotta be artistic and creative as hell, I mean any1 can learn to use a program but only few come up with good stuff.

[s4m2]

Right, and if I recall correctly, Epic actually has seperate level designers and level artists.

[saradiame]

I like how you said "It takes months to be good, but it takes years to be Epic." very nicely said

[TheInfiniteNexus]

hell yeah haha

[cyberdaemon]

@s4m2 I wish unreal ed was as simple to use as hammer, hammer is much simple and elegant in my option, i can build very complex maps on hammer and virtually nothing on unreal ed :P

[kayslay01]

i think the camera man is high

[obzoosed]

the women was using the camera wasnt she?

[philgunman]

FUCK ALL YALL!!!

[breakey1]

The Camera does not need to move so much, Put it on a stand!

[blundercat87]

he's retarded haha

[stfunoobomghax]

i hate when shit like this is so scripted

[Gandalf202]

They should have added that lvl to GoW!

[jumbosausage12345]

They have . Only on the PC version tho :(

[Daredemon]

Going to sound really nerdy, but yeah. I know how to create those levels to.. I've worked with "Unreal Level Editor" It comes with Land Of The Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green.. You can pach it to edit Unreal Tournament Maps.. And the objects are called Static Meshes >_>

[ace76543]

lvl design is easy. MAKING a game is completely different.

[foxghost360]

now... now, lets all stop talking about asses/assis

[eNjOi2p0]

He spelt asses, assis heh. Cool anyway.

[keyonte0]

i learned how to create maps in less than 8 hours with my EXTREMELY short atention span.But why do you guy have to be so mean?

[dyepaintball123]

i wish this map was in multi player

[rhinohillman]

no one gives a fuck how old you are PortalFilms, and just b/c u have no life doesnt mean u know more that her...fucking queer...

[calvin950]

[nsjsjsjsd]

[PortalFilms]

i know most of that stuff and im 11. those girls are dumb assis

[omgallnamesaretaken]

fuck you u little cunt these girls know more than you and go fuck yourself u little pussy and learn how to spell

[calvin950]

dont be such an ass

[mikesw15]

nice 1

[dgdbblonde]

damn, non-gaming BLONDE girls presenting a gameshow? fake..

[ricochet188]

ha ha they're so stupid.

[Ark2]

hey...i never say this level in game >:(

[jgh1983]

Maybe it'll be up for dl in a few weeks!

[Ark2]

Well

funny unreal egine 3 cost over $5000 dollars+max8 $3500=your fucking broke

[assortedstraw]

amen

[dromeo277]

ok. wtf is with the nnon gameing reatarded girls and then with the reatarded drunk camera guy and at the end with allmost like there doing a pod cast on sex!!!

[stargauge]

being a level designer must suck but when the game is done its an amazing feeling i would presume.

[roboticjihad]

From making my own levels for games I will say this: Actually making the map is a long and tedius process, lots of troubleshooting, lots of making sure you have the scale is right on everything. But once it is done it is great to see people use your map in a server.

[yabasha]

beleave it or not there is big fuking money in level designing like that my dads m8 is a level designer for games just like GEARS OF WAR and he is fuking rich

[vovachka1986]

lmfao...good one.

[Bobiscool123]

is this out or ... if not when will it b

[FordGTGuy]

its been out on the xbox 360 for a good while now. BTW the PS3 doesn't have enough ram to even run this game.

[Vendetta73]

"This one's acually a dual core, like Pentium, it's like, this is acually, It's acually a really high end machine..."

Priceless...

[Drunkhippo]

Thanks this info helped.

[skacore7]

job is great these girls are so dam hotttt i used to have g4 adn damn this channel was kool but htthese two girl are hoottt

[Mcrankfan]

those stupid girls piss me off

[pogo747]

why the hell do they have these two stupid girls reporting? they are so UN-GAMER! ruined the whole interview. bunch of morons. wtf is with the cameraman? is he drunk?

[electriceel0]

lol at the end where they start talking about 260 sounds like they are about to have sex listening to their voices lol

[redbirdcarter]

stupid fucking bitches like that need to stop getting those jobs reporting on video games

[Rookz]

that job is only hard for people that arent as creative...its actually really easy to learn all those programs, i taught myself how to make 3D models actually, now all i need is to learn to texture all that crap with photoshop and i'm all set

[halomademepoor]

that would be a damn hard job

[sfilmscinema]

my god. i've got a lot of work to do. Remember the word "Specialty." You'll be hearing it a lot in 20 years. 10/29/06

[Ukrockstar]

they so arent video game fans....

[asdfafh]

pretty much, paid video game girls are a bit insulting. wear skimpier outfits and stop pretending to be gamers if ur gonna go for that.

[DanielSan45]

Wow the camera man sucks at his camera angles...

[ExpandedFlame]

AH! i want his job :)

[spleen001]

i'd probably chuck my muck over both of those

[plaguebearer]

I think i agree with this guy.

[killamonkey]

man, if i could get my hands on that darn engine, i'd make a whole game!

[gh0s7walk3r]

unreal tournament 2007 runs on this engine :D and is fully modable. Next year you can knock yourself out!

[OMG00D]

zomg noice

[jayqu3]

wow dude.. this video is crazy good
