Looking fancy indeed.
To me there is one visual flaw though, the rock texture at the height of the architectural geometry, in the second pic. The texture has vertical lines, this looks rather unnatural, especialy cause the rock texture is horizontaly orientated almost everywher else.

I didn't think you had done it. I was merely alluding to your

I started working with these textures and models I made 2 years ago again.

Image

I have a question regarding the fog and sky. The sky doesn't fog even though I made the fog brush not touch the sky brush. It's pretty strange because I used the same technique in another map, and with the same shader and then it worked. :confused:

Image


As you can see, the sky is fogged here. Does anyone know why the sky isn't fogged in the first one? Is it something to do with using terrain? Maybe there's a better way of making a whole map fogged that I've missed?

Pistol grip is too straight down. Needs to be more angled back and tapered slightly.

seems like an excellent way to get some early feedback on layout and visibility into potential problems in terms of gameplay

i might go a step further once you get a bit further with it and fancy it up in photoshop. ie: use a layer for the geometry for each level, use a unique color for each level, and different types of paths for different types of travel

looks promising =)

Lukin that is one of the sexiest Q4CTF map I've ever seen. I love the architecture and the overall look and feel of this map.

I seriously hope you do more CTF mapping in the future :]

ALMighty, lovely colours in that.
Couple of more cavey bits from me:

Noted about the tex alignment issue on the rock. I have re-uvw mapped all the cave meshes. It was done at a rush for the TM contest and needed fixing. I do still have one area I am not happy with yet.

I really want to beta this (and be told the corridors are too tight:)), but I am awaiting approval from inition for what I've done to his texture set...I think he's probably in a mountain dew induced coma and wont wake up till mid-summer.

We don't need a beta to tell you that the corridors are way too tight :D

Thanks! I means a lot! I think those plants makes a huge difference in your map, more of those I say! :)

Lukin, that looks really cool.

I had been planning a monochrome level for Q4. I liked the idea of doing a Film Noir style street scene. In the last MC speed map contest I played about with a similar idea. I am Working late tonight so had some time off in the day. Just enough time to remake a street for the level in Q4. In the Q3 version I used a dark green fog to offset with the black and grey textures. I liked the look so decided to go with it. A first in game render:

Ooh, looks nice! (other than the black sky cutting off the fog of course :) )

There's gotta be a way around that sky thing...

Also, I'd desaturate the green a bit--looks a bit too radioactive right now, IMO.

make the skybox the same colour as the fog, i.e. desaturate the fog, and darken it a little

a foghull is just a normal cubemapped sky, only all the faces are monochrome (generally the same colour as the fog you want to use)

wviperw did a forest map with a foghull. here's the link:

lookin neat man.
I like the noir style a lot too :)

Im also happy to see a monochrome map :D I had suggested that as a MC map challenge theme but nothing really came of it.

Sky's lookin a lot better in that second shot.

I have been modeling for an application process for a school I'll hopefuly start attending after the next summer.

The request was to write an application, a resume, and to model a car with 1000 triangles at most accompanied with a texture map limited to 1024x1024 in size.

Image Image Image

^^ two renders and an editor shot.
