Backdrop meshes by Rumplehedskin

Meshes made specifically for using as a backdrop for outside maps. These meshes are relatively low poly but look good from a distance. These are ASE files that can be imported right into UED. You can find the meshes here. There are 4 meshes in this package:

1: Hills/mountains backdrop – Surrounds the entire map with hills/mountains.

2: Valley/mountains – Mountains with a huge valley down the center. One whole piece.

3: Valley A – Left side of valley mesh.
4: Valley A – Right side of valley mesh.

Western and tube meshes by Rumplehedskin

He made the western and tube meshes as a request from a fellow mapper but they never got used. There is a covered wagon, barrel, window with separate pieces so it can be made to be broken, windmill, water tower, water trough, mine cart, saloon doors. You can find the goodies here 🙂

null

Epic friends over at Polycount have announced their very first 2D concept art contest! Epic provided them a series of images of some basic levels that participants are welcome, but not required to use in the contest. Contestants are encouraged to experiment with new themes as well as take on the older styles of Unreal Tournament.

Unreal Tournament is being developed using Unreal Engine 4 in the open in close collaboration between Epic and the community. When the game is playable, it will be free. Not free to play, just free. For more details, see here.

There will also be some amazing prizes from both Polycount and Epic Games!

Polycount:

•All winning entries will receive a full size Greentooth Trophy.

•Polycount will also pick a single entry as our own favorite and award them with one of the following of the winner’s choice: A New-generation console (Xbox One or PS4) or Occulus Rift DK2 kit. If you are outside of North America, you will receive the cash equivalent.

Epic Games:

•All entries that Epic chooses as a winner will receive a round of feedback from Chris Perna, Art Director at Epic Games. You will then have the opportunity to produce a few more concepts to fully flesh out your vision for the theme or level.

•All entries that Epic Games accepts for use will receive official credit as a ‘Concept Artist’ on the new Unreal Tournament game.

•Any entry submitted to the contest has a chance to be featured in an upcoming Unreal Tournament art book to be published by Epic. Each artist who had a winning entry will have an opportunity to write about their entry. As well, they will receive a hard copy of the book signed by the team at Epic.
