Digital Tutors – Unity Mobile Game Development Series

Posted by Users on 2011/12/28

Posted in: 3D, CG Releases, Downloads, Learning, Tutorials, Videos. Tagged: development, Free, Game programming, mobile, Nitrobits, Series, Training, tutors, Unity.

Creating a polished game requires skilled artists from many different disciplines. To help teams work on a game development pipeline, Digital-Tutors brought together our top designers, illustrators, modelers, texturers, riggers, animators, game developers and programmers to create a working prototype for a potential pitch to publishers. With many of the assets created in past courses, we’ve focused this series on the specific hurdles and production decisions that goes into each step of the game development pipeline. Creating games is usually a team effort, so while an individual artist may be able to create a similar game, we recommend this series to teams of skilled artists or individuals who want to learn a specific aspect of creating games, like low-poly modeling or game-logic scripting. Unlike our earlier Infiltrator series, these courses do not have a strict learning path, but instead are packaged individually to teach specific topics and techniques at various times in the game development cycle. This series is intended for artists already familiar with the software, so if a software is new to you, check out our Beginner’s Guide and Introduction courses to quickly get up to speed on how to use that software. Creating a game requires many skilled artists to work together to correctly create assets for the rest of the pipeline

Lessons included:
01: Beginner’s Guide to Unity
02: Introduction to Unity
03: Introduction to Scripting in Unity
04: Character and Weapon Modeling
05: Rigging and Animation
06: Communication with Notification
07: Player Functionality
08: User Interface Design
09: GUI Functionality

In this video we’ll take an introductory look at UDK’s material editor. Once we’ve covered the basics of importing textures and creating our own materials we’ll dive into creating some of the more common types of materials you’ll encounter in today’s games. We’ll be creating metal surfaces with reflection, glass, blended materials such as rock and moss, a holographic animated material, and lastly realistic water, complete with animation, reflections and depth based effects.

UDK – Unreal Development Kit 03.2011 Beta

Posted by Users on 2011/04/04

Posted in: 3D, CG Releases, Downloads, Softwares, Windows. Tagged: Game Development, Game programming, Unreal Engine.

UDK
English | PC | Windows | Size: 1.32 Gb
Genre: Developement Software
UDK is Unreal Engine 3 – a complete professional development framework. All the tools you need to create great games, advanced visualizations and detailed 3D simulations on the Pc and iOS. The best tools in the industry are in your hands. Unreal Engine 3 has been used by game developers, researchers, television studios, machinima directors, artists and students. If you have an idea that needs to be brought to life in a game engine, UDK is for you.

Why UDK
Only UDK has the power, flexibility and track record of Unreal Engine 3. These tools have been proven with countless releases and dozens of awards. There is no better way to make awesome games on the Pc and iOS than with UE3.

News from Epic Games
March 2011 UDK Beta released: March 9, 2011 – Epic Games, Inc. has released the March 2011 UDK Beta, the latest version of the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), the free edition of Unreal Engine 3 that provides access to the award-winning toolset used in blockbuster video games, 3D visualizations, digital films and more.
Epic recently presented a brand new Unreal Engine 3 real-time demonstration entitled ”Samaritan,” which leverages DirectX 11 support, high-end rendering features, NVIDIA APEX physics technology and other engine upgrades. These new technical additions are now available in the March build of UDK.

Important DirectX features now shipping with UDK include:
– Tessellation and displacement;
– Geometry shaders;
– Multisampled textures; and
– Shader Model 5.

High-end rendering features include:
– Image-based reflections that allow surfaces of any shape to reflect an approximate version of scenes, with varying glossiness across surfaces, anisotropic HDR highlights and anti-aliasing;
– Subsurface scattering (SSS) that simulates the light that scatters inside semi-translucent materials, making character skin come alive;
– Anti-aliased masked materials that super sample the edges of masked and alpha-tested materials, making character hair more look realistic than ever before;
– Deferred rendering with MSAA support;
– Bokeh depth of field providing close to film-quality DOF, with artist-controllable Bokeh; and
– High-quality dynamic shadows from many lights on the environment, such as shadows for point lights and other light sources.

NVIDIA’s APEX technology has also been integrated into the engine and ships with UDK.
In addition, Epic has raised the royalty-free revenue threshold for UDK commercial developers. Under the new license agreement, developers don’t pay any royalties until their total revenue exceeds $50,000 (US). Beyond that, developers keep 75 percent of each dollar they receive and Epic receives 25 percent.

UDK projects can be promoted to the community in the Works in Progress forum and the Released Projects forum.

March Beta Upgrade Notes
– DirectX 11 is now supported in UDK!
– Adaptive Bokeh Depth of Field (DOF)
– Dynamically shadowed image-based reflections

Rendering
– The ability to scale effects (such DOF and bloom) with the view size was added. Post Process Effect -> Scale Effects with View Size
– The ability to use tiled normals on fluid surfaces and any material was added.

Unreal Landscape: UDK’s new terrain system
– Support for ZBrush-style painting
– Support for tablet sensitivities
– Option to auto-update weightmap mipmaps while painting layers
– Perlin Noise in the Noise tool available
– Support for thermal and hydraulic erosion

NVIDIA APEX Support
– NVIDIA APEX technology enables artists to quickly generate physically simulated clothing and destructible environments. For more information on APEX, please visit: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/apex.html

Unreal Editor
– To enable the DX11 renderer in the editor: View -> Preferences -> Enable DirectX 11 Rendering
– The ability to see which DOF layers are in focus is exposed through a new show flag.
– Image reflections are now toggleable via Unreal Matinee.
– The checkerboard background in the texture properties window can be toggled through a toolbar option.
– Importing morph targets from FBX files now uses multi-threading to speed up the importing process.
– The FBX importer now supports importing lightmap UVs from FBX meshes that have more than one UV set.
– The error reporting when loading packages and maps that have missing objects has been improved.
– Matinee now supports jumping on the visibility interp track.
– Double-clicking anim notifies within animations focus shifts and expands the notify in the properties panel.

Unity3d Person Char System | 1.01 GB
Genre: eLearning
For this new series, we?ll be showing how to make a simple 3D platformer concept game in the spirit of classic action/adventure titles such as ?Tomb Raider.? The idea is to step up from the primarily 2D approach provided in our previous projects and explore the world of full 3D game development.

This will be critical as we prepare to jump into our upcoming MMO project. As a matter of fact, this 3D platformer will give us the opportunity to introduce you to a few of the core elements that will be used in the development of the MMO game itself!

The 3D platformer game will focus on the following key features:
? A rich, fully explorable 3D environment
? Customizable and sculptable terrain
? Environment light mapping using Beast
? Dynamic occlusion culling with Umbra
? An intuitive custom-designed 3rd person camera system
? A customized character control and animation system
? Interactive puzzles and mini-games for the player to solve
