Buzz Tour brings Unreal Masters to cities around the USA and Canada!

[Mark Rein]

Epic and NVIDIA are teaming up with iGames for a 12-city tour to promote the $1,000,000 NVIDIA Make Something Unreal Contest. This tour, known as the "Buzz Tour," includes discussions and hands-on demonstrations of Epic's Unreal Technology-the technology used to create the Unreal Tournament mods that could lead participants to win big money! Participants will also get to play Unreal Tournament 2003 in a LAN party, check out Unreal Tournament 2004, and chow down on the food that spans the four main food groups, pizza… all for FREE. The discussions, lead by www.3dbuzz.com's creator Jason Busby, will feature topics such as using the Unreal Engine, creating terrain in the game, and designing levels. This tour is a great crash course for anyone interested in learning about game creation. Check out the tour dates, locations, and discussion topics per date on the iGames web site at the following URL: http://www.igames.org/unreal_buzz.asp

If you want to brush up on your Unreal content creation skills be sure to visit http://www.masteringunreal.com which contains over 150 hours of FREE downloadable Video Training Modules from the fine folks at 3DBuzz.com

BTW, the Buzz Tour is brought to you by NVIDIA (http://www.nvidia.com/nzone/sources/calendar/unreal_contest/index.html) and Alias (http://www.alias.com).

Would love to go hope someone will take footage =D

Buzz Tour brings Unreal Masters to cities around the USA and Canada!

And what about the cities around the Czech Republic ? :D

Alright, alright, I haven't said a word... :)

P.S.: Mark, will there be an updated version of Maya PLE bundled with UT2004 ? Now that we have version 5 out, it would be nice if we were able to create meshes for UT2003/4 in it... :) (or maybe just an updated UED plugin for it)

It would be great to have a European tour but the problem is that sending them to Europe is (a) very expensive and (b) they've already been away from their families quite a bit lately.

It will be a bigger event geared toward experienced mod makers. We're still working out the exact details.

[legacy-TyeFang]

w00t!

:) I've been playing around a lot with matinee...did some cool matrix-like 360 shots....where the gamespeed stops and the camera does a 360 pan around the fight scene.

Works best when triggered by the shock combo :) ...looks cool.

[legacy-Diego1203]

Is this just going to be lectures or is it a hands on kind of thing where we all sit at pc's and follow along with the instructor? How long will it last? Are all of the topics that are listed on igames going to be covered in every event? How many people will be acomidated? I'm thinking of driving several hours to the one in Denver and it would suck to get turned away when I get there.

[legacy-Sett]

Who will be giving these talks? I ask because I have very technical questions. Will they be able to answer them?

I went to Fragaloploza in Toronto last year And the DE level designers were there giving a demo. Later they took questions. But even they were stumped by some of the questions asked.

And thank you for going the extra mile.:up:

come to happenin Cleveland Ohio.....

NO CHICAGO?!?!

Yer gonna go from Canada to Texas without a stop in Chicago??:weird:
What's the deal, Mark?
I know you can't have them stop EVERYWHERE.. but c'mon.. CHICAGO!!

Ya I am kinda surprised no CHICAGO also.

[legacy-sneaky_usb]

It's crazy I tell ya!
They're stopping in Marietta, Ga.. but not CHICAGO??
A Chicago stop would draw gamers from 4 states.
What are you guys.. goofy??
Think of all the free press you'd get on national affiliates for stopping traffic on Michigan Ave or LSD!

C'mon, Mark - take care of us!

wow people, epic provides a free service to us and all you do is complain?

...although it would be nice if they had an event in Orlando or Tampa rather than Miami ;)

I dont mean to sound rude but when will the results be announced of the first round? We are nearly at the second round :D

[legacy-dinwitty]

yup, surprised no chicago

[legacy-Tropic]

They just don't give a damn about us. :mad:

I won't buy the "it's too expensive to organise something there" excuse, because I guess there already are people with enough knowledge in Europe who would be able to make the presentation.

With 3 or 4 dates, you would have covered the whole western Europe easily.
Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid... for instance

Anyone slightly interested in the Unreal Engine shouldn't pass the opportunity to attend such an exceptional event. So with a little publicity for the tour in game magazines, you would ensure full attendance to these events.

[legacy-ThorsHammer2]

IS there an official website giving updated information on how the contest is going, and letting us know the winners.
One of the big reason im still interested in uT2003 is the mods but there are so many all over the place, but no one place to get info on all or the best. I ust dont want to miss out on any good ones.

[legacy-BroMacK]

AWESOME! I am down the street (literally) from the one in Marietta, GA! I will be there!

~MacK

[legacy-SealClubber]

alright, heres what we have on our "to do list" :haha: ...


- Make a stop in Chicago (its where I was born, there needs to be a stop here!!!)

- Move the show from Miami to Tampa ( I live in Tampa, more people in florida will be able to attend if its in Tampa :up: )

- add 3 more Canadian cities that have a big UT comunnity

- Have a seperate European tour!


Thats all for now :D

[legacy-\/ÖÏ\/ÖÐ]

?

No North Bay ? :confused:

;)

[legacy-Baller]

Wow, no Chicago...

That's like, the heart of the midwest.

[legacy-BroMacK]

Will there be any Epic reps there in the Marietta, GA one?

[legacy-Swiper_the_Fox]

London Ontario... w00t!! :D

[legacy-Railgunner]

Do I have to bring my own computer for the lan party?

is there an age requirement? im 14 and I wanna goto the new york visit!!!

[Ultron]

Dr. Doom and I will be at the Houston tour on Sept 15 if everything goes according to plan. We're pretty excited about it! :D

[UnrealGrrl]

I spoke with Jason late last night and he sounded pretty excited about how the first one went. I'll get some more info from him later today.

[legacy-MaverickEIG]

Thanks so much Buzz and JHawk for coming to Miami and showing us 2k4! There's another thread I've started about this topic with a link to my clan's forum on that describes what onslaught is, as well as a picture of Buzz and JHawk.

Thanks again guys!

Thanks bud :)

[legacy-Diego1203]

So how many people were there? were there people who couldn't get in because it was too full? what was the lecture part like, did you learn anything about modding?

[legacy-MaverickEIG]

I don't know how many people will be at the other locations. I didn't find out that Epic was coming until about 1 hour before it happened when the store owner got ahold of me.

So only about 12 people were there that were gamers. As far as lecture went, there wasn't really a "lecture" per say. Buzz showed those interested in how to use the UnrealED etc...

[legacy-Diego1203]

How long did it last?

[legacy-MaverickEIG]

We were there from 6pm to 12am (midnight).

Arizona State Uni in Tempe needs to be visited if your going to do schools :up: Thanks for the great tour, you'll see me at the Elite PC stop in Arizona

From the way Jason ( busbyj ) told it, Mrs. Rein wasnt happy being woke up at 1am.

D'oh! :haha:

EDIT: BTW, I just attended the Atlanta (Marrietta) Event, and it was great! Thanks Epic / 3DBuzz! :up:

[legacy-mabuffaloe]

Whew!! just got back from the Atlanta gathering myself... drove 5 and a half hours, and it was worth it! I learned so much in just a few hours! Buzz and Logan did an excellent job, and I got to see lots of really cool stuff...... I am completely re-inspired now :D

With all this new information, the VTMs from 3dbuzz, and the Unreal Level Editor, I am armed and dangerous.... :D haha!

[legacy-BroMacK]

I went to the Atlanta one too... I got alot of questions answered, and Logan and I figured out a bunch of stuff that I had never been able to get to work.

BTW, Logan, see if you can figure out why adding that ball spawn actor wouldn't work for us. I been fighting with that problem for some time, and finally just started copying it from other maps. Thanks!

Also, there were a couple peeps wondering what maps I had done... Not much, but if you wanna look them up they were BR-NauticalRecourse, BR-Glory of Athens, and a bunch of conversions from CTF/DOM to BR, including Fragball Stadium, SunTemple, Chrome, LavaGiant, and a few others.

[legacy-jwgwc]

Hey guys, I just returned from Marietta, Ga., and have only positive things to say. There was a great deal of material covered (karma, matinee, and of course other general level design features and functions. The setting is informal, but comfortably and completely addresses both novices and experienced modders alike.
To answer Sett's question "Who will be giving these talks? I ask because I have very technical questions. Will they be able to answer them?
I went to Fragaloploza in Toronto last year And the DE level designers were there giving a demo. Later they took questions. But even they were stumped by some of the questions asked."

The presenters were Buzz and Logan from 3dBuzz.com and I assure you my friend, these cats can answer anything you throw at them. In fact, they went way above the call of duty to help everyone, and spent time beyond the planned material to answer questions and help with any specific problems that someone was having in regards to the Unreal Engine. ('Know the engine they do', like wow.)

As far as having one in NC or anywhere else for that matter, we drove 6 hours to attend this (from, you guessed it, NC!) and would do it again.

If it's at all possible to go, I highly recommend it.

[UnrealGrrl]

alllright!

...i just got back from the new york leg of the tour and it was great! big tanx to the guys and grrls of 3d buzz, jason, logan and angie for staging a great presentation and showing us a good time in our own town... very friendly ppl and took time to answer everyones questions, everyone there was definitely real happy they came out for the buzz tour - great stuff!!

very clear and informative demos (hey if i understood 1/2 of it, it mustve been clear!) on matinee and karma and some map design/terain type stuff AND a chance to play some ut2004 along with free pizza - how can ya beat that?! (well ok so i went out afterwards ;) )

epic - nvidia, igames and whoever else is footing the bill for this - GREAT JOB! ive never seen any game put its money and community involvement up front like that - tanx! :up:

ill post pics after some much needed sleep... zzz :)

[legacy-Railgunner]

I was there too, who were you? I know I didnt play against you in all those ut2003 and ut2004 matches i played with those other guys :P

EDIT: Dont tell me you were that blond girl using that little camera.

I was that redhead kid telling people how to set up a ut2003 game :P

[legacy-zenmaster86]

but yea i saw you there for sure...

the blond grrl was angie who was with the 3dbuzz guys... ill have some pics up soon

[legacy-MaverickEIG]

I only have two pics up, plus the video that I took. It's in the thread entitled "UT 2004 Showcase"

Anyone else going to the Houston one? I am strongly thinking about going there. :)

[UnrealGrrl]

http://www.unrealgrrl.com/unrealgrrl3dbuzzny.htm

nice turnout but seriously more of you guys who threatened to go really missed out, not only on some ut2004 goodness but on really good up close and personal tutorials for working with UnrealEd!

if youre thinking about attending a stop in your area, stop thinking and get your butt out there!

thanks again to J, Logan and Angie for doing the event and Epic and whoever else made it happen :up:

[legacy-TseTse]

:(

sorry i missed it. nice pics!!! not to mention i missed hanging with my fellow MyU'er :)

that manta is very, very sexay. coolest vehicle ive seen in a game, for sure.

(good lord i want a monitor like that)

[legacy-Swiper_the_Fox]

I was at the London Ontario one last night... Buzz and Logan did an amazing job and were super helpful! Damn those guys know their subject... The turnout was fantastic- about 35 people showed. 3 or 4 guys from Digital Extremes were there to answer questions. And of course, everyone got to spend some quality, mutual carnage, LAN time with UT2004.. Onslaught is very very cool... Thanks Epic and 3dbuzz for putting this on for the community!!! :)

[legacy-Sett]

Yep, it sure was a hot one at Head2Head Games in London (Ont.,not UK) last night. We filled the room and even more came!
http://www.sett.tv/h2hbuzz.jpg
For the 'Introduction to Level Design' part Buzz asked the advanced modders to clear out. That was ok cuse' we went downstairs and played the 2k4 demo! They had it set up on a LAN so we could go head -to-head. I got pics of that too but they sucked so go check out UnrealGrrl's their better.

ONS- is really interesting. It is kind of like a complex DOM with vehicles. The new vehicles were 'ok' there was a 'skimmer' and flying thingie, two types of buggies and a tank. I never got a chance to try the tank but the others were ok except for the larger (3 man?)buggy that kinda sucked. The tank's mesh was poor for a game made in 2003. One thing I noted was the balance of the vehicles to pawns. :up:

I don't think I've ever met anyone that was a bigger booster for modding than Buzz. We finished up around 2130h and he had to be on a plane back to Tennessee at 0600h. Then he had to teach a class.

Props to Logan who I got to pick his brain for terrain info. And the Owner of Head2Head Games (who's name I can't remember:mad: ) She truly went the extra mile to accommodate everyone.:up:

I drove two hours from Toronto to be at this event and it was well worth it. If the tour comes by your parts I urge you to make the effort.

[legacy-Blargimus]

I'm planning on going to the Denver location, but I'm a little unclear on what is needed. Since one of the focuses is on level design, is it necessary to bring your own computer to edit maps of your own, or is it just a demonstration?

[legacy-MaverickEIG]

just a demonstration. you won't need to bring anything except a great attitude! :)

thanks for all the thanks - im just happy i made the tour and wish i took more pics but the demos were so good and the game was there :)

if its anything like the location we were Blarg there will be computers there and its a tutorial so youll mostly be watching and taking notes...

Well, I just got back from the houston event... It was a blast. You can learn as much or as little as you want from this thing.. They relate the information in a way that a newbie(me) can understand while still being able to teach the more adept users a thing or two. I got out of there a bit early and didn't get a chance to thank everyone.. So thanks for an enjoyable experience and I hope to see somethin like this again in the future in my area!

[legacy-Dr. Doom]

Mark, we just got back from the Houston tour.

Whoever thought this up deserves a raise!

It was very informative and Jason and Logan were perfect in not only their presentation, but answering all the dumb questions that were asked. ;)

By educating people like this, you strengthen the foundation of the footprint of the Unreal engine, allowing us to become more informed and more motivated. We then are in better shape to help inform others.

Someone from Epic should help design this as a college course.

[legacy-}iD{-Sw¿rD]

Someone from Epic should help design this as a college course.

You couldn't be more right... I WISH my college offered classes that were actually related to the game-design field... Instead of offering only general classes that teach you "theory" about everything, you could actually use the information you learn in a "real-world type" situation.

[legacy-RavingMad]

Nice pictures!

Did you by chance see anything DDOM related? I've been searching high and low for information about the new DDOM maps. How many will there be, what style are they, etc.

I attended the 3D Buzz Tour here in Vegas last night. Trust me when I say that UT2K4 is going to live up to the hype. I checked out the demo and Onslaught is awesome! Buzz and Logan gave me some one-on-one tutorials on Unreal Ed. The matinee features are way cool.

Thanks for everything guys! Last night was awesome!

Just got home from the one here in Arizona. It was great. My thanks to all the people who helped set up this tour and got it going. No pics from me sorry. We ran a bit late since they weren't used to are traffic and showed up a bit late :P

I learned alot from what was covered and got many ideas. I will be passing alot of them on to others who I know who do more than me but can't make any of the events. Once again thanks again and I hope you guys stop by Arizona again.

[legacy-eXpendabLe]

Last night's demonstrations in Tempe, AZ were simply the best I've seen anywhere. I was impressed by the depth of knowledge and enthusiasim displayed by these guys. I learned new techniques that I may not have tried otherwise and it certainly has altered my approach to mapping. Congrats to 3D Buzz and Epic for a job well done.

[legacy-Powerslave666]

Anyone else going to the one in San Francisco???

[legacy-UTForums.com]

Hey powerslave, your site is down, i just checked the link you posted on my forums.

[legacy-thinkingfeller]

the last tour stop in seattle tonight was great. met some more fellow gamers/mappers/coders/modelers/etc, got some onslaught hands on (SWEEEEEEEET!) and had the chance to personally thank jason and logan for all their hard work. and all i had to do was eat some free pizza....

not to mention i learned how to implement karma objects in very bizarre yet useful ways.

again, jason and logan, you rule. :up:

[legacy-segall]

Was at the Seattle (Bellevue) event as well, and it was really cool! Met some interesting people, learned a thing or two about UT technology, and got to thank the 3dbuzz guys for all their hard work. Oh and UT2004 looks sweet!
