Blender 2.65 has been released today.  The biggest change that would concern level designers/environmental artists may be the bevel tool.  You can read about it’s changes and other modeling tools here.  There were also 200+ bug fixes made as well to make it the most stable 2.6x release yet.  You can download the latest version here.

I stumbled upon this site in the CBP3 Volume 5 Epic Thread.  I have always been a fan of map review sites and look forward to reading some review.  You can check out the site here.  He has already reviewed 2 of the maps from the for mention pack.

Hello all…

I have been absent from the mapping and modding world for most this year for various reasons.  I have found my way back to a hobby I enjoy very much.  I have a few maps planned, which will include static meshes from Blender.

In the future, I plan on being more active in posting information and hope that it helps you enjoy your hobby of gaming and modding.

Jonathan Williamson over at Blender Cookie has done a nice overview video on Blender 2.62.  Check it out here.  The UV tools, new Boolean library, and the Remesh modifier were the parts that interested me the most.

I decided to make 2 UV Test Grids based on the stock Blender ones.  One is just contains blue and black squares (each square is 32×32 pixels).  These can be useful if you use “white grid lines” as the stock image seems to blend too well with them.

The other image replaces the little “+” marks with arrows, to help align the faces better.

Blender 2.62 has been released.  The most interesting aspect would be some improved UV tools, especially the improved stitch tool.  You can see the added features here and download it here.

I have released the different Tapinak maps from the UOF DM + EG Map packs as individual downloads.  In addition, euchreplayer23 was kind enough to cook and test the PS3 version.

There are 2 DM versions (one is at night with a different item placement) in addition to a greed and domination version for those who like these game modes.  You can view the page here.

The UOF group has released the second part of their 3rd map pack.  It takes the deathmatch maps and converts them to other game types (mainly Greed and Domination).

Please visit the UOF or Epic thread for more information and download links.  Here is a preview of the maps.

The recently released UOF DM Map Pack is part #1 and the UOF EG Map Pack will be part #2.  The pack will include different game modes of the DM pack, hence the name “Extended Game play”.  The pack is scheduled to be released on December 20th.
