3DBuzz: UDK VTM's ONLINE! (approx 20 hours of video)

[saymoo]

Hello everyone,

Jason Busby (3dBuzz) and his team, Are (ordered by Epic Games) currently in the making of a series of VTM's specific for the UDK. If everything is right, Epic games, should soom get the VTM's, as stated by Busby, and Epic should put these VTM's on their UDN site for download. These VTM's are FREE for everyone to watch/learn from.

Update: seems Busby and his team have finished recording the videos on: november 20th 2009 and they are now in the hands of Epic Games.

Update2: Confirmed by Epic games, on november 26th 2009, Epic will put the videos up asap, but it's holliday now, so it may take a "little"while.

Update3: Epic games will most likely (postponed due to the holliday last weekend) upload the videos on monday november 30th 2009, or tuesday december 1 2009 on a special UDN page.

Update4: Epic Games has put the videos online!! See this thread:
http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=710137

Happy hours of watching and learning!;)

[docmorbid]

I just asked about this in another thread, hopefully they'll be up soon. Really looking forward to these.

[lubitel]

Bring em ON!!!!

[CrystalCore]

3DBuzz and Epic are working together right now, so you can expect to see something from the both of them fairly soon.

[docmorbid]

We're fully aware they're working together, in fact, have been for some time, since over 13 hours of video tutorials are already done. According to Jason.

What we want to know is the ETA.

[mixedmeters]

13 hours thats awesome!

[UTUser]

Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait! C... oh we have been through this already :)

[R2D5]

Hopefully theywill be Online Soon.

[Henrik]

I heard that they had to redo all the videos because of some last minute change in the interface, probably the reason for the delay.

[saymoo]

correct, but that was before the 10th of this month.

[Xero]

This is great. 3DBuzz VTMs are the best. I can't for them to be released.
I hope there's a good amount of info on scripting and character creation this time since they were absent in the UT3 collectors edition VTMs.

[lubitel]

Acording to mr Buzz himself, this is after the changes in menus, it wold take less than a week. That was 10 days ago:)

now whats up good folks?

I've been following 3dBuzz for years. When they give a time frame for anything you basically have to multiply it by 4 to get anywhere near an accurate time :P

Haha, I say this all the time except mine is: mulitply by 3 and add 4. It is true, but only because we try to be optimistic in our estimates and then end up going overboard on delivering.

Unfortunately this is one of those projects we started with high hopes and good intentions, but reality set in. As a small company trying to survive, we have to focus on the projects which pay the bills. The AT-AT project was done for free for the benefit of the community and pays us nothing. It had to be set to the back burner a while ago and time and circumstances have not allowed us to get back to it yet.

So the money the subscribers paid just disappeared? Or somehow got lost on their way to your account? Okay I l buy that. Not. It boils down to accountability.

Anyhow.


Everyone is asking about ETA. Three days? One week?

Can you please provide some insight?

Be generous, a couple of sentences... we don't want your money.

Thank you for answering the question.

[itach1]

lol wow lubitel, way to be overtly and unnecessarily hostile to someone providing you with a great, mostly free service.

In any event, I am looking forward to the new VTMs - just so long as they go over things that haven't been covered time and time again, ;)

I think you should be thanking the people at 3d buzz for the amount of time they have put in to helping the game community and cut them a little slack considering you probably havent paid a dime for any of their videos.
just look at other site providing video training such as thegnomonworkshop.com and eat3d.com. would you rather be paying 59.99 or 69.99 per subject DVD or wait a little longer?

with that being said what the hell is the ETA on the new VTMs? lol

Maybe I should be thanking you for making erroneous assumptions about me.

I have as a mater of fact payed for knowledge provided by Gnomon, Eat3d and 3dBuzz with money I have earned. And I do as a mater of fact prefer Eat3d and Gnomon teaching style to 3DBuzz. Especially after they started using the greedy streaming style videos, after having paid for I cannot download and watch from my portable iAudio multimediaPlayer or my laptop when I am not online like on a train for instance...

That said.... ETA means Estimated Time of Arrival.


pe@ce

[CocoKool]

The videos will be released when they are completed. wouldn't you rather wait and have good quality product than have a rushed unpolished product?! 3DBuzz already missed their ETA (ESTIMATED Time of Arrival), just have a little patience and subscribe to the forum threads for updates.

There are already some very nice videos by Raven and others here on the forums, also you can simply run a UDK + topic search in youtube and you can get many hits. If you have a specific topic just open up a thread, my experience thus far has been that people around here are very helpful.

ATB - Stay Cool!

I understand, I just wish you'd thought it out a little more before hand, or started with a smaller project.

[lubitel]

I thought you did get paid by Epic to do this?

Does this mean it is not prioritised?

Mo money, mo money?

Please explain.


I hate sounding like a bully. I am not. I am a nice person,
I expect my fellows to be truthfull and accountable for what they say and do.
Is it too much to ask?

[docmorbid]

He was referring to the AT-AT project.

[mortalhuman]

I don't see any reason for them not to begin releasing then since they are already embarrassingly late. It's not their fault, of course.

I think something else is going on. I think they saw the success of UDK as a chance to sell them instead, where creating them was a way to pump UDK, UDK ended up being hype enough to pump these...

Either way, they have to have at least the first few videos finished... out with them :P

[Fallen667]

Just wait and learn from other tutorials out there or learn stuff on your own, then, when they are released you'll have solid knowledge of UDK and you'll follow VTMs with ease.. and learn tons of new stuff.. this added to what you'll learn on your own in the mean time will make you UDK Master :))

[Repent_]

There VTM's are vague & way to talkative. When watching them I find my self begging the videos to get back on topic. lol But if you can sit through there lame jokes, you may pick up a few new tricks.

Your better off going to UDN & reading about how to use the UDK
http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/DevelopmentKitProgramming.html

[geodav]

known for my sarcastic comments
eg:- books released 2 years "after" UT3 !!!!
VTM that came with UT3 mainly for mappers and nothing else !!!!
Big promise AT-AT project, had hoped for more

yes i did learn a lot from 3dbuzz vtm's (mainly the UT2004) great team but sorry people need more, why not sell the stuff that way you might get it out on time !!!!

[danimal']

Jeez, this stuff is free. I'm all for holding people accountable if you plunked down $$$, but this is ridiculous. Be glad as @#$%#$ someone does this, and wait patiently. If you're waiting on these to get going, you're failing from the start. There's PLENTY of stuff out there, go learn until these come along.

THANK YOU 3dbuzz guys, your UE3 vids were very helpful to me when I started. Especially b/c you guys throw in stuff other people tend to ignore (e.g. Cascade). You get UE3 for free and training for free and you guys get uppity? Incredible. Show some love, chill out and say THANKS.

i noticed that too.. on the 3dbuzz site

[Jlacroix]

well that explains why they arent talkking about when they will be up for download. they dont want to make it look like they are blaming epic for the delay.

[Flak]

Don't forget it's a holiday folks. We'll do our best to get these to you ASAP.

[mixedmeters]

Man I can't wait!

[Jlacroix]

Honestly I would rather wait a little longer and have them be great then you put them up a week ago and not be 100%

[saymoo]

they are already done, and shipped/uploaded to Epic ;)

[FrozenDozer]

This means what exactly?

[saymoo]

that it's now in the hands of epic, and they are the ones who can put them online for us to watch.

[FrozenDozer]

Boooyah, that's what I wanted to hear!

Can't wait!

[crowl]

Hey folks, today is the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States and Epic is closed until Monday.

As soon as we received the UDK video files from 3D Buzz, a team of Epic employees immediately began working through the verification process. Assuring a high quality end-user experience takes time, so please know that we are readying everything as quickly as possible.

We are now preparing all the files for upload to the appropriate server. We're also building out a dedicated UDN web page so everything is easy to access.

All ETAs going forward will come from Epic. We will update you as soon as we are closer to having everything ready.

To those celebrating, Happy Thanksgiving!

[sueds]

Those vids aren't free right ?

[saymoo]

wrong, they are free :)

[quassar]

Allow to everyone, Wow this is a huge bomb , EPIC releasing the udk, then comes the books Mastering and then these awaited videos, besides the huge developing information
already, EPIC rocks !!

[fallingbrickwork]

Can't wait for these!

Matt.

[grantmoore3d]

Wow, thanks a lot for all the hard work from both 3DBuzz and the good folks at Epic!! It's like Christmas come early :p

[Frood]

Glad to hear it and much thanks for your contribution to this up and coming community. Have an extra slice of mississipi mud pie on me :)

[Visceral89]

Don't forget it's a holiday folks. We'll do our best to get these to you ASAP.

Errrh what holiday is that?

Today is Thanksgiving. Its an American holiday.

This makes my day good :)

[neo_an_anomaly]

I'm assuming that Buzz has also included UnrealScript vids. Programmers are starving for some Buzz vids on true scripting not Kismet.

Thanx,

=[nE0:sPhErE]=

[micahpharoh]

Programmers are starving for some Buzz vids on true scripting not Kismet.
I can attest to this :)
I know how to use kismet well enough, but that doesn't mean I can create a new gametype, or add a new character. That's the type of stuff I want.

[mixedmeters]

Hopefully it shows us how to make a full game with EXE file and everything.

[EMPIRE]

My day just got better. Epic are awesome, first UDK, documentation, tutorials and now video training manuals all for free. I don't mind waiting a few more days/weeks for these to come out. There is plenty of material to read (I've gone through most of it now to be fair) but this is really beneficial to us developers, don't rush Epic guys, they're doing us all a huge favor here.

I hope these videos are up to the Epic seal of quality!

[Visceral89]

Isnt there like enough video tutorials on the UDK content? I mean its literally 100eds of videos since the UDK was released, like 98% of the fracture tutorials.

[Repent_]

[katana2665]

Great news...thanks for your efforts.

[neo_an_anomaly]

This phenomenon by EPIC is a win-win thing. Exposing their incredible technology for free non-commercially has only improved their stranglehold on the global gaming technology market by making millions of developers happy. Needless to say, a lotta games now will look alike, lol. And the comical part is, a plenty of developers are also discussing the downside to using the UDK on account of not getting the source code for a very nominal price like the Unity or something. I say, to the hell with them, we all love your EPIC, you are doing a great job.
I second that guy up there, take your time to polish the videos and take the credit for making us all into good game developers.

P.S : Again, just hoping that there are a substantial number of UnrealScript videos there :).

Laters,

=[nE0:sPhErE]=

[eosteric]

Isnt there like enough video tutorials on the UDK content? I mean its literally 100eds of videos since the UDK was released, like 98% of the fracture tutorials.

Yeah, but it's mostly ****. People are so eager to be the first ones to release video tutorials or whatever they just do a rushed job, many don't even have audio, and most of them are made by amateurs who really hasn't had that much experience with the Unreal engine, it's not exactly hard to tell that in most cases.

People are thought a lot of bad habits through many of these videos and backwards ways of doing things.

That's why the best training material you will get is from the ones who take their time with it, and you will learn more from an hour of those than 10 hours from these amateur-hour videos.

I haven't seen a single video that can compete with the quality of 3D Buzz videos.

A lot of things post now labeled as tutorials like, how to make fog/mist is one of the latest I saw, or how to make water, this is such basic information, it doesn't need a tutorial. It's a few brush placements and some properties changes, applying materials. These are the types of tutorials out there now.

This is information already available in the documentation, it's easily learned by just reading a few sentences, yet people think there's a need for video tutorials for these things. I guess, some people need them though, because they don't understand the documentation. But these are the same people who will never be able to make anything worthwhile without constant help and hand-holding anyway.

There's just so many people here showing an overwhelming lack of will to learn and figure out things for themselves.

[robotbebop]

There's just so many people here showing an overwhelming lack of will to learn and figure out things for themselves.

This shouldn't surprise you. People seem to think that when something is widely used it's also easy to use, which is rarely the case. And if you think all the people asking for spoon-feeding here are bad, go check out the garage games forums. They all treat the Torque garbage like a make-game button.

[GamerKnight]

this look great, hope they are out soon

iv already gone through most of the stuff on youtube and i am now reading stuff on unreal code:

p.s a big thanks to raven and wildicv really helped me out alot in the first few days.

[rahatropa]

It's true that many people seem to expect tutorials or pre-made scripts that accomplish their individual project's needs, and while this may just be newcomers ignorance to the complexities of game engines, in their defense I am finding it pretty difficult wrap my head around what components depend on other components, and when they are being called in MY game. What I'd personally like is a logger that simply shows, upon launching my game, what script (native or custom) is initialized and executed, allowing me to know exactly whats going on so that I have a better understanding of what UE is doing.

I think a lot of this is just the process of familiarizing yourself with a new engine. Some very basic RTS, RPG, etc. kits that provided a basic framework and game logic with commented code would really benefit many I believe. Anyway, looking forward to the VTMs and would like to end with saying that imo epic, and the udk community, is doing a great job providing learning material, I can only hope it continues to grow at such a healthy pace.

What I'd personally like is a logger that simply shows, upon launching my game, what script (native or custom) is initialized and executed, allowing me to know exactly whats going on so that I have a better understanding of what UE is doing.

This I can understand. For me this was the most difficult thing to try and figure out. What I ended up doing was just scouring the code in GameInfo. There are some pretty good comments scattered throughout the Engine codebase that describe the general steps that UE3 takes in actually getting a game running.

Once you crack that it's a lot easier to figure out. What really irritates me is that Whizzle doesn't appear to be a great example as it completely bypasses a lot of real UDK functionality, or at least it really seems to.

I've managed to start a very basic asteroids game prototype; I've just started custom weapon implementation now. None of it uses anything from UT3. It's all built directly on top of the Engine package. Once I have something relatively complete I'll work on a proper overview of the source.

I'm hesitant to post anything for the time being however, as I'm not really sure that what I have is a good approach or if I've actually gone about things back-asswards :)

I learned a bit of how to get a custom pawn into the game based on tutorials scattered around these forums, but a large percentage of what I've put together so far is based on what I've gone over in the Engine package. It's hard to learn from code that somebody else wrote but really, it's the only thing you can do. Don't fight it, just accept it. It just takes a lot of patience.

I would refer you back to a previous post in this very thread:

Hey folks, today is the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States and Epic is closed until Monday.
As today is Sunday November 29 and not Monday, Epic is still closed. That's not to say they haven't been working on things this whole time, but perhaps a little more patience in the matter would be in order. Everyone involved is aware you guys want the videos. When they are ready for public consumption, I am sure you will be informed.

[Repent_]

are these new videos or the same ones they already made for UT3?

They cover the "basics" of using Unreal Editor for UDK. There is no UnrealScript covered in this set of videos.

Jeff, is there much in the way of lightmass and using the Unreal FrontEnd? Two of the things I really need to get used to or learn.

Hmm. no script? Thats bad news, i hoped to see some UnrealScript videos. I think 3dbuzz have enough UnrealEd tutorials.

of course it's not that serious, but I agree, there are plenty of basic UE3 tutorials, I was hoping for something a little more advanced.

[rfletchr]

:D This sounds awesome. It'll be great to have a more focused tutorial set.

[Plastik]

Bad news. Will wait something really useful with UnrealScript covered (like wildicv video tuts). Cuz i`m already have «3DBuzz Video Tutorial Pack for UT3» and i have video tuts how to use lightmass, fracture tool and etc (thx to Raven67854).

[mortalhuman]

Yeah! Where are my free videos?! This is outrageous, I'm a busy man here. I demand my $0 back immediately.

Well to be fair, I bought this game for the editor since frag shooters bore me and now the UDK offers what I thought I could find then...

[rahatropa]

Bummed to hear no scripting =(

[neo_an_anomaly]

Guess, the Volume III of Buzz's Mastering Unreal book will the workaround.

[Bao]

That was cool!

[QuasarTD]

Guess, the Volume III of Buzz's Mastering Unreal book will the workaround.

Ah of course. If they had done scripting vids it may have impacted the sale of the book. Can't really blame them, they have to make a living too. Shame though I do prefere learning from a video but I'm sure the book will be fine.

[BorisK]

cant wait to use that new painting feature thing
its like Hammer Editor decals pro
i LOVE UDK its like everything all the other engines have now on the Unreal Engine

well back to my map, cant wait to see video tuts on lightmass yaaasss

We don't make a cent off any sales of the books so it really has nothing to do with whether we make videos over something. We made the videos we were asked to make.

[Fallen667]

Is there a way to get on some sort of notify-me-when-its-available list?

[sueds]

so do you plan on making video for udk like you made for xna ? I'm really sure people will be interested.

cheers

[EMPIRE]

This is the ultimate solution: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Unreal-Technology-Introduction-UnrealScript/dp/0672330822

These videos are the mandatory boot camp...Hopefully something a little more advanced as well, but I'm not expecting anything based around UnrealScript, that wouldn't be economically viable would it?

But who knows, we'll have to wait. Hopefully when I'm back from my college lesson they are awaiting, all shining and glorious for me to stay up all night and absorb.

[mortalhuman]

Man, it is really burning me out to keep checking for news on this... anyone at epic have a hint for me? <3

I had the same problem. Try this:
Delete the old download. Right click the link and choose
-save link as-
then choose a different folder than you used the first time. Click
-OK-

It worked for me after doing this.

was it a joke about 20+ hours of video? It looks like 3 times lesser ..

well it's quite a lot of videos minutes... not sure how much in total, but to give you just an example:

cinematics video tutorials together are: 103min.63sec.
kismet video tutorials toghether are: 136min.49sec.

totalling: 240min.52sec. = 4hrs,52sec. for only those two tutorials

I checked it now, so the result:
161 movies
3.21 GBs
19 Hours 42mins 23secs

so I wasnt right ..
