DM-Deckaddon UDK Level Design

I. II. III. IV.

Core Focus Design Inspiration Workflow I. The core focus of this map was to create an environment that could be an extension to DMDeck. I wanted to play off the idea of a system that deals with garbage reallocation. II. The design was inspired by heavy machinery. I wanted to design around the idea of a society that has an advanced way of handling waste and chemical hazards. III. There are some parts in the original DM-Deck that have areas of green chemical pools. In the world of unreal Im sure that chemical came from a barrel or pipe. Playing with this idea allowed me to piggy back off the idea of waste management.

IV. I researched DM-Deck itself first and got a lot of information. I then researched physical environments and found many interesting designs. When all my research was gathered I started my napkin sketches to get a feel for space. I then went into UDK to start blocking out the level and doing basic kismet. After the level has been blocked out I start adding static meshes in the scene to match it to the original DM-Deck style.
