Imported an Imperial Star Destroyer into UDK from 3dsMax 2010. I used various models I found off the internet an pieced it together using all the best looking pieces, Modifying it as I went along, Endlessly welding vertex's and deleting unnecessary polygons to help optimize the model, an shadowing issues.. Also did some UVW mapping along the way but its a huge job!! anyhow many issues have been dealt with allot of the geometry had texture stretching.. flipped polys etc about 40% I had to remodel, most of it (Which can still be seen on certain walls)
The entire Star Destroyer is scaled correctly to UDK's player height size..
The planet and Death Star are textured spheres, Skydome is just a star field..
I did this as a test to see how big would a space game be if it were to have life size models of battle ships in them..
Eventually I will like to try out Apex destructible tech with the pieces of the Star Destroyer since I have imported main pieces one by one.. So shooting the hull will have some effect with fracture effects, an floating particles.. Just needs some type of standard Xframe structure that cant be destroyed to keep its shape etc...
I have been working on this for a long time before it got to this stage..
I am not selling this, nor am I making a Star Wars game for obvious copyright reasons...
Everything is custom content except for the Epics cicada flying vessel..
Which I'm replacing with a Tie Fighter since a Tie-Fighter lacks any type of animation..
For the Earth / Planet Material Shader I followed the tutorial by Javahawk which can be found on youtube..
Anyhow I wanted to ask would anybody like to help contribute to this map.. Its nothing simple all I wanted was something similar to battle front 2..
A Mon Calamari cruiser vs a Star destroyer..
Rebels spawn on Mon Calamari Cruiser Hanger like which is seen in Return of the Jedi with A-wings, B-Wings, Y-Wings, X-Wing as usable vehicles..
The Empire has its Tie-Interceptors, Tie-Bombers, Tie-Fighters, And Lambda-class shuttle (shuttle tydirium which is heavly armored and helps transport troops easy..)
When in space instead of floating you have a grappling hook that you shoot pulls you towards it. or other way is you have some sort of jet pack etc..
But the gravity is allot like the UT2k4: Morpheus 3 DM where run speed is normal but your jumping outside is higher yet slower...
If anybody would like to help me with making a simple old style star wars level and non of this light sabers stuff an jedi powers everything etc.. Sure I like the force and jedi stuff but not all of it was about lightsabers and using the force on everything etc... I love the classics cos they were gritty used and looked like it worked..
