Rapid Prototyping with UDK: Insights & Strategies from Sierra Atlantic

Join Munjuluri Chaitanya from Sierra Atlantic as he explores the world of rapid prototyping using UDK (Unreal Development Kit). This talk provides an introduction to various tools available in UDK, shares insightful experiences, and doesn't serve as a tutorial on Unreal Engine. Discover productivity gains, timelines, and the pros and cons of using these tools. Key topics include Kismet for visual coding, the Material Editor for shader generation, and the advantages of Unrealscript. Gain valuable suggestions and hints that aid in efficient game development.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Rapid Prototyping using UDK Sierra Atlantic – A division of Hitachi Consulting Corporation Munjuluri Chaitanya Game Architect

  2. About this talk • Broadly introduce various tools in UDK • Share experiences • Not a tutorial on UDK/Unreal Engine • Talk about specific productivity gains

  3. Agenda • Introduction • Various tools • Timelines • Pros and Cons • Suggestions/Hints

  4. Introduction • About Sierra Atlantic • About Gaming Vertical • About the game

  5. Concept Art

  6. Themandatory graph

  7. Tools of trade

  8. Kismet • Quick fire idea prototyping • Visual Coding • Technical Artist Friendly • Complete game play implementation

  9. Material Editor • Material editor generates a shader for the target platform • Incredibly useful when generating target specific shaders (cooking) • Incredibly useful for artists

  10. Matinee

  11. Audio Editing Flexibility Enriched Audio experience. Easy snap and link Script control. Easy kismet linking.

  12. Unrealscript • High-level programming language • Java like syntax • Perfect for state machines • Tight integration with editor and Kismet • Serialization • Network integration • Execution speed

  13. Compiling, Cooking, Packaging and Deploying Save packages in an optimal format Packaging for distribution Packaged game to connected mobile devices

  14. Pitfalls • Too much “stuff” • Starting point • Platforms and computing power • Facebook • Quality pressures • Competition – Unity, CryEngine

  15. Suggestions • Use Unrealscript when you want a new node • Use Kismet to rapidly develop/rule out your ideas • Multi sub-object materials • Shader complexity • Dynamic vs Static Lighting • The “foreach” trap • Single vs grouped objects (collision, render calls) • Fill rate issues with particles • Number of objects (cull distance, visibility range) • Design level in UnrealEd, model/texture objects elsewhere

  16. Thank you & Questions My colleagues are available to answer them offline too
