Hi all;

 - i hope it is ok to join the forums. In  the spirit of 'common practices', here is a small introduction.

My mini UT3 History

Spoiler

 

• - I have been around UT3 since day 1; but i was a silent observer for the longest time; until maybe 2010
• - i first began on the PS3 scene before moving heavily towards PC.
• - At some point people started asking me to do stuff [make maps, be admin, run a team, get content onto PS3, record matches, duel etc etc] and then that is when things got bad.
• - I consider myself to have a had a bad rep in UT3 - you can track history back to the moment this occured.. from ever since i was made an Admin, but i ask each form their own opinion.
• - I try to help out where i can; with direct input or maybe just some motivational speaking/ comments, how people perceive my input is their choice, but i wouldn't offer help unless i thought i could.
• - when i first started mapping i did not know my red box was called a 'brush', and as for periperhal software, i was a complete noob -  
• * i am self taught in anything related to Unreal development, only because i do not get on well with tutorials, me and tut's just do not seem to match.
• * i have recieved alot of help from 2 of my DoS members, and obviously all comments and input recieved from others, also counts towards my experience and knowledge.
• * i think i joined the development scene too late, i never release my full potential because i am lazy :)

Why am i here;

Spoiler

• - this seems the place to be, all my quality feedback and interesting tips/ opinions come from you guys here.
• - but TBH the only reason i joined was to motivate NOVA to push on through with his terrain :) 
• - there is still  a few things i would like to learn/ improve with my UT3, i hope that some people here can help me achieve my goals.
• - i already see some people who are working on projects similar to mine and i really hope that these people will be able to teach me some things- and maybe even collaborate since our work is exactly the same
• - i feel UT3 still has not reached it full potential. - when i see people release maps with stock content that was used in GOW all those years ago, i sometimes cringe. Currently technology is so much higher performance than when ut3 was born. Hopefully people can continue to be dedicated mappers and push the limits of their content, and i am here to be one of these people 

the real life Stuff

Spoiler

• - tbh, i am not one for divulging my life onto forums, {generally speaking}, if the forum is UT3 related, then i will be talking about UT3.
• * However; here is some info:
• -i am male, from Wales [UK]; and i swear too much, but i don't mean it in a nasty way.[<<everyone is like that in wales lol]
• - i like stereotypical male stuff like Performance cars; driving them, not talking about them :0, women, however, i am currently trying to save money by 'no-fuel' usage/ no car on the road...but i do love to drive.
• - I like to motivate people, but i am a self-professed lazy-ass
• - i am conisdering some form of research career, but i am in too much debt atm so we won't talk about work life LOL., lets keep it happy :)
• - i would like to improve/ learn some real 3D modelling skills as developing has become a small hobby.
• - my spelling usually sucks & i currently have no GPU so it is very hard to see when typing LOL. sorry for any mistakes

 - I hope this is a satisfactory introduction for everyone; if you request any specific information [as per forum rules, that i might not have included] please feel free to ask.

Thanks for your time all.
