I didn't receive an invitation to come here, but I hope I'm still welcome. :)
I found out about this place through Lord Porksword's 'Legacy' project, and looking around the Epic forums I couldn't find anywhere to post about my initial plans for a project of my own. It would be great to have somewhere to share my initial progress and to get feedback from Unreal fans before the map even reaches an alpha stage.
I'm 31 and from Christchurch, New Zealand. I've spent just over 11 years doing 3d/CG art and most of that time has been dedicated to modeling. My current project is a high resolution mesh of the Vortex Rikers prison ship for the UT3 engine, and, long term, a remake of NyLeve's Falls. If that turns out good I'll do the first level, Vortex Rikers interior.
ps. Same 'Winter Dragon' as Epic forums by the way.

Sure! I set up an imgur album with a few things from the past five years. I would love to post screenshots from the game I was working on between 2004-2006, but my NDA doesn't expire until 2013 and things ended very badly with the developer I worked for.
Progress on my vr mesh:
Started this morning. Thought I'd mention a couple of immediate changes.
- modeled a main entrance above the exit (exit is next to the red box which represents the height of a UT3 character)
- modeled four escape pods (two on each side), three of the four have been jetisoned. This is in relation to the novel, "Hard Crash" which I think suggests three prisoners got off the ship before 849 made their escape.
Thanks, I'm about to set up a WIP thread now I've got my head screwed on and have something half resembling a plan. (Which I didn't really have before.)
