All the models and textures that you see in the trailer are included either with UDK (http://www.udk.com/) or with the DVD itself, so you can get stuck in straight away! :) Hope that helps!

Great tutorial, even got some personal help from Hourences on email to clear up an issue...study modeling and texturing on your own and combine this knowledge with it, you won't be sorry

Purchased this DVD and have been through all the content. I highly recommend this dvd to anyone. It teaches you how to construct an entire environment from beginning to end. Ive used unreal for many years now, and this was one of the better tutorials I’ve come across.
It doesn’t teach you how to create your own assets. So if you’re a beginner and are in need of a complete overall 3d modelling to In game environment, i would recommend you buy This Dvd along with eat 3d’s old damaged pillar tutorial.
However if you just want to learn Unreal UDK, get this DVD and you will be creating fully polished Nextgen environments within hours. Hourences tutorials are always golden imo.

Would this be good for a beginner to GAME DEV and the UNREAL ENGINE specifically? I am not a beginner where 3D apps are concerned ( Modo, Blender, Realsoft 3D. Lightwave, Zbrush )
