Introduction and Obvious Tip #1

[tdempsey2008]

I wanted to introduce myself to this fine community and thank you all for the help here.

Like you, I'm in love with the power of UDK and in some small way I would like (as a thank you) to share my tip that has become profound, yet sort of obvious:

Be the grid!

If you are not using the grid snap or have underestimated or ignored this basic advice from Day One, then you are simply making it harder for yourself. Aligning assets that snap to the grid makes level building a pleasure compared to dismssing the grid.

That is all! What is your #1 Obvious tip?

Best,
Tim

Here's a tip:
If all your models just disappear for no reason, try tap the W key. It toggles model display on/off.
There's a similar key for BSP, but I forget what one it is.
