Hey renderdave,
The Material on your bridge looks great but the water shader needs some work, at the moment it’s undermining your scene instead of supporting it.
Out of curiosity, what’s your workflow to UDK?
thanks blenderer not sure what part of the workflow you want but heres all of it. my workflow runs like this: high poly model-low poly model- unwrap - bake ao and nomals - take baked maps into photoshop - create diffuse, then spec and nomals from nvidia plugin to overlay the baked normals. i then save all the maps in .tga format,go back and export the blender model as a .ase file.
then i open up udk import the files create a material bringing all three images together and put it onto the model. i add collision to the model and fracture it if it is destructable. then its just about placeing the models together or using the terrain editor to form a map.
Nice work. Yes, water is a bit blue, but you can easily fix that. Looking good!
I like the pool without water or people. Creepy. It’s sort of a poem, if that makes sense.
cheers 3dmedieval. heres a quick turntable in marmoset toolbag of the girder prop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0ZYY04-nyU
heres an update on the lighting just to one single point light but with deep orange shadows and i also changed the water to one that comes with udk for now.

I use a mirror instance under the water plane and then lower the opacity of the material of the upper water plane. That way you can really get some nice more ambient effects. Looks good already though. Weird are the parts your water suddenly changes colour…
heres a quick texture i made while practicing painting lighting into the diffuse. can someone tell me if it looks ok i tryed using my second moniter on this and im not sure if the colors correct on it.

well, it’s nothing you’d notice in the game, but some of your planks reflect the light at their right edge and some on their left . And there’s also no in between extreme reflection and no reflection. However, as I said before, you wouldn’t notice it at all xD
All in all, looks like a photograph 
sorry for the multipul posts ran out of image space:) heres 2 sculpts i have been working on for a few hours not at all perfect but just for practice.

Hey this looks realy nice!!!
I have nothing bad to say:)
Keep up the good work!
thank you bahamapascal! :eyebrowlift: . heres my first vertex shader on a broken plane part. works pretty well and can see it saving alot of texture memory. all the same mesh same textures but mixed up abit with vertex paint.

Nice work. I love the steampunk guy! 
Are you going to model the whole body or is it just a bust?
Yes, I like the steam guy as well. I’d like to see him with more involved textures. The bridge scene is looking really nice as well.
