Unreal 3 VTMs, and the First Concept Sketch

As Caleb mentioned in his comments, I have purchased a copy of Unreal Tournament 3: Collector's Edition. It comes with video training modules (VTMs) on using the Unreal Editor to create content for UT3. It is my plan to copy those VTMs, put them onto DVDs, and distribute them to the members who will need to learn how to do their jobs (which will probably be everyone but Rob-tom). If I can determine that the Unreal Editor works independent of UT3, I will also put that on the DVDs. The game has not shipped yet, but I am assuming that it should arrive some time next week.

Amy has sent me the first concept sketch for our mech (which we will have to name; throw out some ideas as comments to this post if you have any). I've given her feedback for some ideas about how to polish it up, but I feel that everyone will be psyched to see what we have so far, so here it is:


Also, thanks to Matt for finding also those tutorials so quickly. As soon as I get my homework off my lap, I will dive into learning UnrealScript.

Oh, quick note: for those who are not using their real names as their author names, please change to them so we know who you are. I think it's cleaner like that.

all right homework done, what next dad?
