Demondo writes "Well the first annual Unreal University weekend is over, and based on the numerous pictures, videos, and impressions people are giving it seems that Epic Games, 3DBuZZ / Mastering Unreal, and the sponsors (Center for Digital Entertainment and nvidia) have pulled it off quite successfully. I just hope that I can go next year."

Forget Unreal University, I'm more interested in Beer University [angrynakedpat.com]...

  Why attend Unreal U 2004? Because any real university experience (tuition, class sizes) will leave you reeling and thinking "how unreal" anyway . . . crying in your brew at the U.

I attended the Unreal University event, and I would just like to say some things about how the event went. First and foremost, Bravo to Epic and Atari for even planning something like this. I can't think of any way that is better for drumming up support for both the Unreal Engine, and the MOD community. It's involvment like this that will hopefully keep Epic games fresh. The people who were "working" the event were quite approachable, and seemed geniunely interested in your thoughts and opinions. Again, Bravo. Also, they had a LAN party where we got to play Unreal Tournament 2004, and I must say the game is very well done. With additions of new game types, new weapon types, and Awesome vehicles, this is definitely not a resting on your laurels type of release. Just wanted to put that out there, and hope that anyone who got to go had as great a time and impression of Epic/Atari as I did!

But there were also classes covering everything from static meshes, to general level desing, to introduction to particles. For people who wished to learn about Unreal modding. The training was provided by the same people who make the free video training at www.3dbuzz.com / www.masteringunreal.com so people who couldn't attend the university, still have access to over 24 hours of

    Since I myself am already a MODer for UT2003, I skipped out on most of the classes that they offered. But there were people who worked for Epic that taught classes in things like: UnrealScript UED (Map Making) How to make Mutators (mini MODs) Creating custom weapons Static Mesh creation creating and importing characters for UT2003 ETC... there were many classes offered.

      "MOD" isn't an acronym. Mod, modder, mini mod, small mod. Whoever started this trend needs to be beaten with some rods of sugar cane.
      
      Come on, let's stop the madness while we still can.
