Hey Riki,

I recently purchased your Unreal Materials dvd which was incredibly helpful by the way and I thank you. I was wondering if there was any chance you could give me sort of a private tutorial of how you would go about setting up an actually scene in UDK with bsp or Static meshes, which ever you prefer. Do you simply create a huge floor of bsp then build the map on top of it? What about a skydome? How do you make it fit in your map so the player can't see the rest of the grid? I no I'm asking a lot here man, but I sure would appreciate it. I have some really cool ideas, but I'm just not sure how to set up a basic scene in UDK. Thanks again.

No problem, at GDC alone I know of at least 3 people that purchased at least 1 DVD because of my suggestions.
I know I've already stated this in the forums but, has that forum competition idea crossed your mind yet?

Hey Riki, I was working on the old damaged pillar. I noticed in the DVD, when you sub-divide the wheel in mudbox for the first time, it becomes messed up because you made a mistake.

Since you made a mistake in one of your videos, I demand a full refund.

Lol just jokin. But when I did it, I remembered to disable my smooth, so I was all set.

Great video.. keep em comin
