You'll need a 3D modelling program (try Maya, it comes on CD6 of UT2004 (if you have the DVD version, it's in the folder marked CD6)

Also you'll need a texturing program (photoshop, no competition) and UnrealEd (installed into your Ut2004/system folder)

If you need tutorials try www.3Dbuzz.com

Absolutely amazing, I've been mapping for 4+ years and I still learnt something new from them. Plus they collaborate with Epic (one new tool in Unreal Ed - the array - was added because of a request by 3D Buzz). What's more, it's free!

but the question is, does maya actually let you use what you make? having NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE jammed in my face when im making something isnt very re-assuring..

you're legally allowed to use it for mod making, character making or map making, akthough you might only be able to use it for the Unreal Engine (which is what UnWheel uses) but I'm not sure.

Commercial uses are stuff like games or movies (yes Maya was used in movies, Monsters Inc. and Final Fantasy to name but a few) that you would earn money from or would attempt to sell. You'd have to buy the commercial one for that (about $1,000)

think it might be a bit more, I thought it was about $2500....
I thought that the UW team had a tut. posted somewhere about map making....Yeah, I'm pretty sure I d/l something from here about that. might in the "general" forum, first thread i think....

ok, did some looking aroung for it, found the mapping info in this thread...hope it helps.

New Question: How do I convert a mp3 I created into a songfile attachable to my map?
And sorry for the necropost, I didnt think creating a new thread would be viable.

get a program that converts mp3 to .ogg, put the file in your music folder, then put the name of the song in the level properties in Ued, build, save, done.
