Hell Let Loose - Smolensk I was on the Environment team set dressing the new Hell Let Loose map: Smolensk. I covered many biomes during this, but spent most of my time in the center of the map. The aim was to depict the city.....

Finally got around to updating my website with the dress work I did on Hell Let Loose Smolensk:

Sorry Ctrl. My phones being an ass with the autocorrect

Also it is worth it. I was a long time autodesk user (10+ years maya and max), but once you are comfortable with it you will not want to go back.
Some of the things it does initially will irritate you and the. Your workflow will adjust and you will dislike how autodesk products do some things.

Shift+G to select everything that uses a material:normal angle etc.
Cyril+a to remove transforms
Get into using the quick favourites, it will massively speed you up.
Zen UV plugin is what all my ex-max users say is the closest to max.

If you link all the stuff you regularly use to quick favourites

The best advice I have for learning is to make 1 simple asset 10+ times from scratch, but differ the results in terms of shape and style: crate, rock, pylon, whatever you want, but make it simple.

By the 5th or 6th one you will have the muscle memory. Then move onto something more advanced at 10

I did it this year and tbh I don’t think I’ll go back. It’s got a lot of power in it.
One piece of advice is stick with the vanilla setup. Tutorials rarely work with the alternatives and the hot keys you can save loads of time.

Lean how to setup stuff in the quick menu. It’s a god send ❤️

Destroy All Monsters (1968) - Trailer YouTube video by Media Graveyard

Destroy All Monsters was on at a cinema in Bristol yesterday and it was everything I wanted from an old school kaiju movie on the big screen.
Audience we’re all into it, it was funny when it was trying to be serious. Some of the scenes were ludicrous. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I swear I may have got quite far, but I’m also not sure if that was using codes I got from games master magazine.
It’s one of those memories that I know I played the first 2-3 levels over and over, but can’t remember if I did it normally or with level codes

Mostly covered set dress and level design on this one.

It has an intuitive interface that I can interact with easily. The ability to edit it myself to fit the needs of me and my team. It takes standard practices we are all used to. Good documentation and support that means I’m not forum diving constantly to find things.
It’s specialism friendly
