Unreal modders start bustin' out those editors, because the next 'Make Something Unreal' contest is on its way. The contest is divided up into four phases, with categories for everything from mutators to level design and asset creation. Educational categories also allow for students to submit school projects as well. According to the rules, judging for the first phase commences June 27, 2008 with the final deadline for submissions of phase four on August 31, 2009. Prizes will include Intel Velocity Micro PCs, software development products and multiple cash purses. The grand prize will of course be a license for the Unreal Engine 3, essentially paving the way to turn your mod into a fully commercial product. Like previous winner, Red Orchestra, you too can go from mod-maker to game developer. For all the details, check out the website for the Make Something Unreal Contest.
this engine made my computer lags more and more
I dislike the Unreal 3 engine for it's lack of AA support and horrible texture streaming. However it does do facial detail very well.
Whether gamers, developer, publishers, or haters like it or not, you have to take your hat off to Epic for allowing such incredible sophistication be available to Indie developers and modders like us!
Let us all bow.
Dynamic Liquids system are really gorgeous!!! This technology will be used on Gears of War 2.
how do i start creating mods.
ahh i cant acesse it when i bought ut3 from steam!! someone explain why i cant use it!!
Eh, Bioshock is a fantastic game, so is Unreal Tournament but the Unreal Engine is screwed in a number of ways. For example,
Texture Pop Ups- While playing Bioshock I can't even begin to count how many times I had to wait for the correct texture detail level to popup. And how many times I harvested the little sister(don't judge me) and didn't even get to see the orange spots on the slug he rips out of her! Just a little black smudge. It is screwed in some Unreal ways, lol. Source pwns...
That just means your computer sucks, I never got those problems.
ok ok ok... texture popups...
I do know what your talking about. BUT! 2 months ago a built a new computer and them problems vanished. ALSO if you put the graphic detail of bioshock into the source engine you would be running at 1fps. thats not a dig at the source engine. thats just to explain why the texture popup has been added to the unreal engine.
All in all source and unreal engine are both great engines but both have pros and cons. I think we can all forget about the cryengine2 for now and let source and unreal fight it out. source has loads more fans then unreal but unreal has the intergrated partner progam.
Also just a final comment. they dont need to turn on the texture popup. its just better on your graphics card. :)
Haha! That makes me funny inside!
