Thanks everyone!

This looks amazing! What program did you use to creat the objects in this?

Thanks. Models were made in 3D Studio Max/Mudbox and SpeedTree Editor. Textures were either painted from scratch or photo sourced in Photoshop.

Does anybody know, how to install this environment? I've been trying for weeks to get it done, but it never works! In the editor, all packages are missing and the UDK Game doesn't work for me at all (UDK Game always crashes). Dunno how to solve this!!!

Thanks in advance for your help, guys!

In the editor all packages are missing? You can't run this in the editor, you're supposed to 'play' this, like you would install and run a normal game or app

Please uninstall the environment and download it again from here to make sure the archive did not get corrupted somehow. Run the install again and then try to launch the game from the start menu.

If it does not start properly, please post the log file you find inside the installation folder and we'll try to troubleshoot the problem.

About the editor, collix is right: it gets not installed with the environment as UDK does not allow to redistribute it with the game.

[Anubis 'Shadowgod']

Thanks a lot for your fast response, guys!

I uninstalled and reinstalled the environment, but it still doesn't work! UDK game crashes whenever I try to start it.

I had a similar problem in the editor when building lighting.
You should try installing it in C:\UDK instead of in J:\UDK
Hope it helps!

[DifferenceEngine3D]

Hey, minifloppy, just a quick question... how did you do the lighting? Is it lightmass, and if so, what were your build times like? Incredible work, simply stunning! I'm looking to implement something like this myself (temperate woodland rather than forest, but same idea) and am looking for any help I can get on the best way to light a complex environment like this.

Cheers, and keep up the good work!

Thanks. All the lighting was done with a single dominant light using Lightmass. It took 25 minutes to render on an i7 920 at medium quality if I remember correctly. I think it took 40 minutes for production quality, but the differences between medium and production quality were barely noticeable.

Thanks for the info! I'll let you in on a secret; it was your environment that make me decide to concentrate on Unreal rather than invest any more time and energy on "anotherengine©". Spectacular work, and I've got your site bookmarked for any new wonders... Any little preview or hint you could give us on your next one? I for one breathlessly await

Right now I'm doing some contractual work for a game company and I have very little time to spare with personal projects. We'll see in the future though. Thanks for bookmarking my website.

This might helps, but I don't do that! The C drive is my system drive, there are my OS and drivers only! I also hate it to install user stuff of UT3 on C. If UDK doesn't work perfectly on other drives, so be it! Somehow I'm sad about this, but whatever...

[UDKKutigi77]

Very well done.

[Jurij]

Amazing, very good work, I love it !

[Husam_Dgr]

Great job, it's very beautiful.
