Part 1: Map Blockout
"After several requests and comments on my visual scenes I have decided to make a functional mod map! This level is for the new Unreal Tournament. Right now it is just a geo shell that is playable with bots. I will be taking feedback from the community on any layout changes before diving into the visuals."

Part 2: First Pass Static Mesh Work
"Quick update on my UT level design project. Did a first pass of static meshes. Removed the entire shell and started to form some shapes and architecture with the meshes. Still a ton of work left to do but getting there!"

Part 3: Detail Work" I am still working on this project and it will be playable soon! Just waned to do a video showcasing some of the detail static mesh work that went into the level so far.
I would say I am 80% done with the level. Still have collision work, visual clean up and lighting to do. When I do collision and lighting I will make videos for those to showcase my work flow and maybe share some knowledge in the process "

Part 4: Creating Level Collision
"In this video for my UT level I cover the topic of how to create smooth level collision to help with a level's flow and gameplay. I wanted to record the work I did on the map but that video was getting too long. So I decided just to finish the collision pass and do a short tutorial on the topic in basic test map.
As always thanks for your support. Leave any questions/comments down below. I will answer when I can!"
