2D SHAPE EDITOR

Today I discovered the 2D Shape Editor with-in UT2004… AMAZING!

Now I can produce brushes of almost any shape and size... quickly and easily, thus allowing for much more interesting level design through the use of shapes.

Below is a 2D layout for a map that I am currently working on, I produced this level using the 2D shape editor.

Below is the same map layout but in a 3D perspective. I have applied some basic textures to illustrate the different sections of the map and I also did a quick lighting job, just to illuminate things... the 2D shape editor is my new best friend!
