3D buzz recently updated their website, part of my job was to produce a series of icons and buttons for the site

UDK Challenge WIP

Working on some exterior meshes using stock UDK assets only. BSP and Kismet for internals set up and working ok. I still need to do the large front door meshes.

Back to basics.

A few days ago 3dbuzz.com (an awesome video tutorial site) ran a free 5 hour UDK class for beginners. It was very well done and covered lots of stuff. 

In any case, I decided to pose a challenge for UDK beginners. The brief was simple: 

Construct a simple level using the assets provided with UDK.

I also decided to do it myself; recently I've been really focused on creating assets, and not actual level design. It can't be a bad thing to come go back to basics as it were and throw some stuff together. Bellow is the floor plan with some notes.

Tea biscuits! Yunnan FOP

For Valentines day this year I baked my lovely wife some tea biscuits.

They have Yunnan FOP tea in and are half covered in 80% chocolate. I think she liked them ^^
