UDK tutorials blog [updated list]

[Borisss]

Hi all,

I've started a blog with some tutorials for UDK based on my experience with using UDK for a couple of months (I know it's not much but it may help somebody just starting). I have plans to add some more regularly. Everything is based on learning experience I've had while starting my very first simple project in UDK (some info about project can be found on blog as well). Please, feel free to comment or repost into more suitable place. Any help appreciated!

Getting started with UDK (setup, tools I'm using, etc.)

Haven't really looked through it, but a tutorial is a tutorial, it can always be helpful, whatever you're doing keep up the good work.

Glimpsed at the page, I'll definitely be using at least the first tutorial. I just discovered the "var()" command, looks like you took that and ran. Should make the dev cycle a lot nicer, at least for me. You have my thanks.

looks good so far, do you want an unpaid job

i do find blog type pages a bit hard to follow when you have more stuff it might be an idea to post a list

keep up the good work

Slamm: You're certainly welcome ! I'm glad some parts can help others!
UDK is great but on the other side quite tricky and has many hidden techniques and stuff, quite unexpected for a C++ developer as me .

geodav: Thank You! I'm definitely going to update forums from time to time with new stuff from blog. Blog was chosen as it is rather connected to all other google goodies and I want (and hopefully will) to use it as an overview of my project progress as well. But still there is a lot of things I'm learning while developing in UDK, so why not to share?
