Who am I

Well Im OlympusMons thats who :P Ive done a fair bit over the years regarding making games and such. Unfortunally none of it has really been completed, mainly because of a lack of organisation on my part. Ive been an active member on the unreal wiki for some time and am glad to be contributing something back now that my skills are better.

Skills

Modelling

Ive been modelling in 3dsmax since version 2.5, developed a small menu plugin called Quadmx7 which isnt publicly released. More recently this plugin has been upgraded for 3dsmax 9, now called QMX9.

Graphics

I learnt the Adobe Suite while doing a few TAFE courses, Photoshop and Illustrator are my strong points, I can use Premiere and Indesign also. Ive learnt alot more since doing these courses and am always looking to expand my skills. The Visual Arts and Technology course I did covered alot of stuff though not related directly to technology like design fundamentals, drawing foundations and design visualisation. There was some art critique involved but I really didnt like that as I prefer to do critiques on stuff where my knowledge is best, namely the interactive entertainment industry.

UnrealScript

For the last few years and I dabble in unreal scripting, Im really happy at where this is going and thanks to you guys Im 10x better than when I started. UT3 is proving to be really good for me and having started with UT2003 I think Ive come along way in that time, its good to finally get into alittle UE3 stuff. Its great to finally be able to see and use the upgrades to Unreal Script.

(27/10/2006) Epic, UE3, UT2007 and the future...

(11/09/2006) Total Conversion Woes

Conclusion

My knowledge of games and game design is quite large but theres always more to learn. Thats what really attracted me to the wiki, this is a great place for people of all skills and skill levels to come, learn and contribute. I hope to add a little to the wiki myself and as time goes by, I hope to improve on my skills as well as help others improve on thiers.

Anyways you've probably heard enough by now.

Off you go do some modding! ;)

  • UE3:Bug Reports\Unreal Tournament 3#Gameplay - like the player collision box or sniper switch in the beta demo.

There are other things like the projectiles spawning from the players head, this might be considered purely graphical since the projectile would still hit at the same location if the spawn location was moved.

Im not 100% sure if UT3 bugs should be categorized or not since its debatable on what they affect, it might be best to just include them in one long list.
