Buddha’s tree by Lucas Hug

Fantastic work 😀

It is made by Lucas Hug. Clicking is name will lead you to his web page or access his blog 😀

From him : Happy to show you my last project! A tree in the middle of a lake in Thailand. A place where monks could meditate, alone. It’s a spiritual place who was forgotten and not yet discovered. I make this scene to improve my skills creating an organic environment. I took the opportunity to practice making tileable textures starting with sculpting them in zbrush.

Love everything of this project made by JoshTrevisiol on Epic forums 😀

Osman Tsjardiwal UDK Russian abandoned buildings project

Another UDK project by a very talented environment artist, Osman Tsjardiwal 😀 It look so realistic and the mood of this map is really great 🙂 From him :

This small environment is based on Russian abandoned buildings. I’ve tried to build a scene with specs that would be common in a real working environment and kept things optimized. The main focus on this piece was the lighting. The video below is a work-in-progress but it’s close to completion.

Zoltan Erdokovy various UDK prototypes

I’m impress by the quality of all those prototypes. They are all different, unique, look, sound and feel amazing. When you think that this guy as made everything all by himself and reach that kind of quality is really something 😀

I share all of what he released on Epic forums 🙂 Head over his blog.

Fire material showcase, a few scenes showing my fire material. I used the Razer Hydra to control the virtual camera.

Mallet Pinball, a game prototype which is a mix of pinball and air hockey.

Reflection pong, a minigame showing off the Razer Hydra – UDK integration.

Winter Volleyball, a game prototype inspired by the classic DOS game Arcade Volleyball.

UDK, Illegal Aliens: First contact: clip 1

I do not share this kind of video habitually but it’s a funny and complete one (meaning with a nice intro / end) made by a small group of individuals. I really like everything it offer for what it is so I think my readers will like it too. Illegal Aliens is an upcoming Co-op Adventure game for PC.

Unreal Engine highlights from E3

I was browsing the Unreal Engine highlights from E3 official page. I’m amaze to see how many awesome games are running with the Unreal engine! So I thought that my followers can look at the page which show the versatility and capabilities of the Unreal Engine 😀

Water mill valley by Andrew Maximov – Polycount Brawl entry

Another WOW project 😀 From Andrew :

Here’s my entry for the Polycount Brawl contest. You’ve gotta love Polycount, man, – it’s a constant costume party! 🙂 The task was to reimagine a stage from a fighting game. I chose Water Mill Valley from Soul Calibur 3.

The dock by Andrew Maximov

I just enjoyed his previous project he made after founding ‘The desert‘ 😀

So much talent, incredible ! From him :

So yeah, here’s my take on the popular handheld art test. 43 hours 5 minutes to accomplish, only diffuse textures and a 512 for all the lightmaps. Oh and, yeah, this stuffs supposed to be for mobile platforms, but is not actually running on UDK Mobile – just the regular one. The scene was also featured on the Front Page of Polycount and was the most the most popular gaming video of the day at Youtube Japan.
