Unreal Technology Help Videos

Ok, so I can understand if they don't want their bandwidth used up by people downloading the videos... but uh whatever happened to the idea of mirror sites? FilePlanet? Torrents? It's really frustrating that there isn't other places you can download these...

Great, there server does not support resumable downloads. I cant even download the most important tutes in my 5hr session limit.

Great ****ing work:down:

[legacy-MonkSix]

Looking over that site, it appears that it mostly deals with UT2K3 - is there anything worth-while there for UT2K4 or would I be wasting my time signing up?

[legacy-BtDMH]

The level design and mesh design tutorials use the same techniques found in UT2004.
The scripting tutorials are a bit behind the times these days, as things are done differently in UT2004.

Edit: Nevermind. It seems Buzz doesn't want anyone sharing his files but him.

[legacy-Brain Trepaning]

There are a coupla tutorials in my sig. So long as the bandwidth is okay, download them. If the bandwidth for the day is all used up, gotta grab them about 12:30AM PST, when they turn the site back on.

One is a player model from 3DMax6 to UnrealEd in 1/2 an hour, the other is for morphing props.

Lots of good news for those of you who have been enjoying BuZZ unreal training content.

First and foremost, if you have been following the "System Reversion" countdown on 3dbuzz, well it ended today. (And was quickly replaced by the DVAS countdown.) But one of the cool things that it brought was an announcement on the front page of 3DBuZZ.com it seems that the much criticized star system will be removed within the next 48 hours! (To be safe, expect it to be removed by Friday.) In any case, this means the following things.

• All VTMs that only require you to have a star to download them will be freely downloadable. This means all the Unreal VTMs that are currently on the site.
• No announcement has been made regarding if The Unreal Tournament 2004 Special Edition / 2 DVD Edition VTMs will be put up for download. Considering Epic (or is it Atari) owns the rights to them though, it still seems unlikely.
• Member Sponsor VTMs (like the C++ VTM) will still only be downloadable by member sponsors.
• Online course only VTMs, like the special effect Houdini VTMs, will still only be available by progressing in the online course.

Nevertheless, this means that the 50 hours of content, or so, spanning Max, Maya, Unreal and more which was available to brand new 3dbuzz members while the star system was in place, will be replaced by 100+ hours. Which is a good thing.

Secondly, if you have been following the free Unreal classes over at MasteringUnreal (aka 3DBuZZ's sister site.) Then you may have noticed that the grading has been going crazy slow over the past 6 months or so. This problem has been fixed! The awesome, and super knowledgeable, modding clan - clan|UED| has offered to help BuZZ with the grading process. The new graders are broken down as follows:

Name (Forum account)               - Will grade:

ValHallen (Invader_Val)            - Level editing 101, Static mesh design
Mr. SlackPants (Mr. SlackPants)    - Level editing 101, Static mesh design
MVP (MVP)                          - Level editing 101, Static mesh design, UScript
TheVillageIdiot (TheVillageIdiot)  - Level editing 101
BtDMH (BtDMH)                      - Level editing 101
Scope (UC|Scope)                   - Level editing 101
GordonZero (|UED|Gordonzero)       - Level editing 101, UScript
KhaoticMind (MKhaos7)              - UScript

All the markers are extremely qualified. And will do their best to catch up on the huge backlog of assignments. Please be patient with them, they are all volunteers. Also, be sure to check out the clan's newest (and first official) map pack! It contains some very very cool things. You can download the map pack here. It weight in at close to 130 mb!

Finally, the Unreal Book is finally done too. This news will be posted in the official book thread as well, but is so awesome, I thought I'd post it here too. Lots of good news about this. Firstly, you can read the official info on the front page of 3DBuZZ, but here is the key stuff. The book *will* be 1,100 or so pages! Amazon's count of 704 pages was from old numbers that the publisher had. So it'll be a true "Unreal Bible". Speaking of Amazon, the book will retail for $50, but you can order it off Amazon with free shipping for $33.99 Sams Publishing will give you a similar, but smaller, discount if you order off their site. You can check out the outdated chapter list if you wan't for a small idea of what the book will be like. But remember, this list is many months old and has probably changed significantly! Be sure to take it with a grain of salt and a oversized margarita.

I'd like to add that despite the recent changes, 3dbuzz is still a very community oriented site and encourages you to participate and give back to the 3dbuzz community in exchange for free VTMs and forums. Leeching is teh suck.

[legacy-MVP[3dbuzz]]

Agreed Sigarms!

3D Buzz is a very helpful community to both n00bs and the more experienced kind...

I hate how alot people discriminate n00bs for being a n00b, we were all there, 3d buzz wasnt like that when I started, so I stuck around...(Looking back on some posts in this thread (*shakes head in disgust*))

The grading has really picked up, the Level Design assignment stack is just about gone, the staticmesh is gone, the uscript has quite a few to go... so we are definetly progressing! =]

[legacy-phOny]

For those of you in the UK you can order it on Amazon UK at a 30% saving and get it for a touch over 25 quid at http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...968675-7082824 great value!

[legacy-Demondo[3dbuzz]]

Well, for those who have been waiting desperately for the "48 hours" there is good news. The star system, has been taken down.

[PointlesS]

thank you! I know bandwidth isn't exactly cheap and it must've been a hard decision to make but I really appreciate the work you guys do...without the star system now I can skip the things I know and go right into what I want...cheers and thanks again for the quality work you guys do...
