Special notes on importing meshes with Maya thread started by Kantham about some Maya issues - partially usable for UT3
Static Meshes: From 3DS Max 5 to Unreal Ed 3 by Gradient - again...
While previous Unreal Engines were "subtractive" - you started with carving out a space out of solid mass - Unreal Engine 3 is "additive". You start with void - empty space and you have to fill it...
In-game console commands
They are divided into few topical tables and sorted alphabetically in every table. We hope you can find what you want. The most often used or most useful are emhasized with...

Let’s face it; UT3 doesn’t have that many skydomes to choose from. So follow these steps to get your very own CUSTOM SKYDOME!
1.)
Get your level all sorted out for your skydome.
2.)
Go to this...
There are two important paths in UT3:
Installation root - we refer to it as <ut3install>. If you install UT3 into D:\games\Unreal Tournament 3 then when we refer to...
Top UnrealEd questions
These few are all mixed from various topics - but they are most often asked by newbies but also by mappers who came from previous UnrealEd and are lazy to search for...
These three terms goes together when we loosely talk about basic level geometry that's defined by brushes. In current version of Unreal Engine static meshes play important part in shaping the level...
This is the simpler guide for beginners that should help you start with UnrealEd and level design in general.
You generally click on topic in TOC (lower) that is only one level deep here -...

"Empty cube" maps are too plain to be seriously played but we can show basic steps of level creation on it.
From the scratch to the first gameplay test
Let's start with a new subtractive...
If you are allowed to edit pages in this Site, simply click on edit button at the bottom of the page. This will open an editor with a toolbar palette with options.

Maybe daring title but the whole point of this How To is to show how you can use subtractive in the right way - if you really need it. It doesn't matter if you start from Additive or Subtractive -...
align brushes (don't you ever work without snapping with brushes)
keep them simple and generally don't use too many angles with them
don't overlap brushes unless you know what you're doing

Ok, this one is easy. You actually run the same binary like the game - but with an additional option editor.
For instance if you want to create desktop icon for editor and you already have icon for...
There is a lot of stuff that can make you crazy while you're working with UnrealEd. Some of those things are inherited from previous instalments, others are brand new developed for you to spice up...
If you're new to UnrealEd you're on the right page. We'll cover mere basics how to start working with UnrealEd and then we throw you into more advanced topics based on your selection (you're the...

Kismet is visual script editor embedded in UnrealEd. It allows you to create scripted sequences in an intuitive way by mean of connecting various nodes (actions, variables, events, …) with lines...
Kismet Editor reference is planned here. However it's unlikely that this Wiki will go much deeper because ArcadiaVincennes have done a great job with his Kismet tutorials. Maybe some marginal tips...
Level in Unreal Tournament 3 (as in most FPS games) is a place consisting of a playable area surrounded by some non-playable area. Its purpose is to expand core gameplay of the particular game (UT3...
Level design (mapping) is the creation of the level (often called map in FPS). It is also the discipline (and art as well) about this process. Levels are created by level designers (or mappers)...
Be patient please… first goal is to make semi-complete Getting started guide.
