*thinking*

SQRT(16) + 128... + asteroids + concept... *8 - 256... devided by 4... + deviantART... =... nah, impossible... or yes??

Does it have anything to do with what I uploaded when I came back from my snowboarding trip?

Just curious. lol

I was wondering if you where still  working on those awesome mesh ?

I would like this kind on mesh in a CTF map which I saw a concept on devianArt so I thought I may ask if you plan to release them ?

BTW, I add your new concrete barrier in my Mégane map & I must say it's top quality work m8 ! :D

 Hi, still have it on my hd. The normal map is a bit messy and it's not yet textured but its there. Also the workflow for such asteroids relatively fast.

Steve, perhaps you need another version of the concrete barrier? I was going to make one without the bullet holes and one without any damage at all - just for more variation.

The models itself won't be too much work but I don't have a suitable texture for now... perhaps anyone of you guys will find something that might fit.

Here's the blog post for the updated concrete barrier model: http://oliverm-h.blogspot.de/2012/04/update-free-3d-model-concrete-barrier.html

Here's a new small tut: http://oliverm-h.blogspot.de/2012/06/distance-based-texture-blending-ue3udk.html

It describes a method to get rid of repetitive patterns of tileable textures like on terrains/landscapes. As usually UT3 receives a special treatment :p

New mini tut available: http://oliverm-h.blogspot.de/2012/09/how-to-create-self-shadowing-materials.html
It shows an easy way to add self shadows to materials. The setup is quite simple and should work with all versions of UE3.

A sneak peek screen of the next type of meshes I am working on... :)

Job looks amazing Malk, well done! Those impact craters give it some exceptional character 

Keep up the great work.

hey Malk.....imo if u can it would "complete" the pack to add a big sized sphere and semi-sphere with this kind of texturing (craters and co)
it could be very handy for asteroid themed maps....just an idea

Here's a new tutorial, Texture Atlases for tileable textures without seams: http://oliverm-h.blogspot.de/2013/04/how-to-create-ue3udk-texture-atlases.html

Unfourtanetely you need HLSL (custom nodes) to make all seams go away, so it's probably not that useful for the UT3 guys...

I agree it's somewhat technical.
If you ever tried to create a huge terrain whose material(s) should have had more than 12 texture samples (at least LPS should know :)) you'll find this is a nice way to bypass the limit.

Forgot to post this one over here... done right before holidays

It's to complicated for me but when I look the final result, it look fabulous !!!

Well done m8 :D

  It's too complicated for the man who made Amyrade??  Are you kidding Steve??

@MauL

I was talking about the material complexity, not a map geometry lol

@mAlk

THX m8

 I knew that but I was comparing the brain power required.  I think you could handle it is what I'm saying .  

2 new tutorials...

The first one is specifically for UDK:
Foliage Tool Lightmaps

Second one does work for UT3 as well and describes a different/better method of parallax / bumpoffset mapping:
Iterative Parallax Mapping
