http://www.udk.com/download
September 19, 2010 - Epic Games, Inc. has released the September 2011 UDK Beta, the latest version of the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), the free edition of Unreal Engine 3 that provides access to the award-winning toolset used in blockbuster video games, 3D visualizations, digital films and more.
Epic is committed to providing the UDK community with regular software releases at no charge, and the latest beta is available now at www.udk.com/download.
This month, we are thrilled to ship a new and improved UDK, now with Mac support. Keep reading for more details.
UDK projects are promoted to the community in the Works in Progress forum and the Released Projects forum. Our full showcase galleries are available at www.udk.com/showcase and www.unrealengine.com/showcase.
Showcase: Street Fighter II Bathhouse Redux

Polycount, a leading community portal for video game artists, hosts a 3D art competition called BRAWL. In the latest contest, artists were charged with bringing to life classic fighting game characters and scenes using today’s high-end graphics tools and technology.
Epic Games Senior Technical Artist Jordan Walker tapped into the muscle of Unreal Engine 3's DirectX 11 feature set to produce a palpable interpretation of E. Honda's bathhouse from Capcom's Street Fighter II. This re-imagined environment took home first place in the 'Stage' category.
