Radiant

Ok here is the starting of my 1st map on Radiant for Call of Duty: World at War. This is my learning progress of about just over a week of using Radiant. I love this program and I feel it has its own flow that I feel I caught on pretty fast more than UDK. Plus it does not eat my CPU like UDK and its really fast loading up both from launcher and in-game. So I hope you enjoy some screenshots I took from in-game.

ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This concept was inspired by playing a LOT of Call of Duty: Black Ops and being really into the fact that a zombie apocalypse will eventually happen(haha just imagine). I havent done a concept for a few days because I really been working on my project and learning Radiant so I can have another skill under my belt. Im trying to aim for a few concepts a week but its really hard when I have LOTS to learn about level design. So this week is a concept for all you zombie lovers (or haters for that matter haha). Enjoy!

Project Scorn.

Ok Project Scorn is a personal project I started working on 2 days ago (May 12th). Its a new game map Im going to be making in either Radiant or UDK, leaning more towards Radiant. I have a deadline(personal of course haha) that Im going to try and follow hardcore to get into the lifestyle of working under strict deadlines for the game industry. So I been working on some sketches and a couple of concepts(some still in the making). My deadline for the sketches and concepts are tomorrow but I thought Id throw what I have so far and update my blog as I go along with this project. So here are some sketches and concepts for the project. Enjoy!!

Speed Painting

This is my 1st speed painting done on Camtasia(just like my UDK vid). Just shows the 1st half of the process of the painting(which took an hour in real time), which I feel is the most important part. Enjoy!(Total time for finished painting was 2hrs)

Temple of the Undead!!!!

Ok, I started this concept with a full idea in direction where I wanted it to go and actually ended up how I wanted it too. Sometimes my mind just takes me for a ride and its really awesome to see where the piece ends up. This concept is a little more fantasy based with inspiration from RPG type games. Now on to the next!!!!! Enjoy.
