Fordy continues to uncover things of interest to level designers and modelers. First, at his site, you'll find a link to the 3D Studio Max 7 demo, a very popular (and quite expensive) modeling suite.

Next up, you'll find a link to a video tutorial explaining how to make use of Normal Mapping, a technique that will be a key part of mapping with Unreal Engine 3.0. If you recall, Normal Mapping was showcased prominently in the video of the updated engine at E3 2004.

the Walkthrough feature is Fantastic. It's about time they added this feature.

Yeah, the Walkthrough feature works like a FPS, "W,A,S,D" directional and everything. I don't know if there is a collision function that you can turn on so that you can actually explore the world like a game (since the feature is geared specifically towards game developement); as it stands, you just kind of fly around and through objects.
