Is Blender Compatible?

[UnrealBomber]

I am starting to learn a 3d application called Blender (most people in the 3d community know about it) and i was wondering is it compatible to work with Unreal? I plan to try to make my own custom content for my levels.

Short answer: Yes

I believe there is a working .ase exporter for doing static meshes. If you are doing vehicles or characters I have no idea how it's done(maybe collada?)

Steven Horton uses Blender, he's working on the UnWheel mod, he posts on this forum under the name UnWheelModeler I think, ask him ;P

Yep, I started with Blender... no problem exporting .ASE files to Ued.

You might also take a look at OGRE... it is also a free 3D engine, and a little easier to understand I think.

But if you want really easy with not as much functionality then give google sketchup a try... also free.
