Post-Mortem

So when we set out on this project, we wanted to do a multiplayer CTF map in UDK.  We had a really cool map design and, through playtesting, we discovered that our map layout works better as a deathmatch or team deathmatch.

What we accomplished:
A concept that is very close to realization
Learned a lot about the Maya to Unreal workflow
I am at a point where I feel completely comfortable managing packages
TOON SHADER!!!
A playable multiplayer map thats actually pretty fun

What we didn't accomplish:
A CTF map, but oh well
Needs a little more set dressing
Needs some more time put into lighting

Updated Lighting

So after 10 weeks we are done...I updated the lighting since the screenshots.  Hope you enjoy!

It is a multiplayer map, so I can make an .exe file and you can play it upon request.

And over the past 10 weeks I have pulled 8 all-nighters...FML

Done!

We are still messing around with lighting, i think we are going to lighten it up a bit.  Also these shots have no skylight, just a dominant directional and some point lights around the scene.

Cannot Add Anymore Awesome...Stopping Development

It speaks for itself

Brief Moment of Genius

So Andy and I had a brief moment of genius in our sleep deprived state tonight.  This is now the result of our hard work(and with Gabe's bucket).

Update:

I tried building the lighting, but I got the following message:  Your build has FAILED























So this is running at about 10 fps

Power Plant...Yeahhhhhhh Take It

Ok I don't have much time to talk about this, but this is the power plant in engine with the Toon Shader.
I'll talk more later once we have more models imported

Edit-  Oh and this is without any cast shadows

Toon Line is Working!!!!

OK so after weeks upon weeks of working on this toon line shader.  I finally found out that there is a little checkbox in on the "Screen_Pos" node in the material editor that says "Screen Align", all that I had to do was check that, plug my material into a post-process chain, and apply to world properties.  Anyways, I am tired of looking at this, so I'm gonna go get some sleep.  Woohoo!!!

PS-I now have about 5 working toon shaders after discovering this
