@Trak: Screenshot looks great. I also had a look at your Homepage. Great textures, really! Keep that up!

The yellow strip above the door in the third shot has some pretty noticeable tiling artifacts. I'd either even out the texture or break it up in the map a bit with some trims.

Aside from that, the map looks good. I like the color scheme, and those round lights are a nice touch.

Those textures are very close to the ones I did for my crescent level.

Looks great Sumatra, I like the color scheme.
but I think you got a little to much ambient light in there. I can barely see that some of the smaller lights gives away any light. You can also see the tiling quite easily on some of the textures.

Not at all. I really like the look of these "grey" maps. Though, TRaKs Q2W map is Fantastic! Seems to have found the perfect accents for it.


I'll keep a main grey theme with colored areas, but I just want to break up the overall "grey look" a bit more...

I love the color combination and clean looks of the second and third shots (the second the best). The one I like the less is the first.


I just want to distinguish the different areas to support the players orientation on the main items.
So in the first shot the megahealth area is not just blue but has also a bit more weathered/stoney look.
The other parts are more clear and clean.

Yeah, thats right, the yellowpainted concretetexture is not tiled very clean. It's all WIP. So the textures will be finetuned in the future as well as the lighting..

Yeah, I also used the great library of cg-textures for reference material.
My main inspiration comes from the new ql-map "trinity", but I was also inspired by your texturedesign. Anyway I've done all by myself on base of those materials on cg-textures and this was a great experience.
So I hope you don't want to blame me for copying textures or ideas of you.. :offended:

The lighting was no part until now. It's just a huge amount of ambient and skylight. I'm designing the overall lighting in a later stage of process. Anyway glad you like what you see for now.


Thanks to all for your fast feedback, hope to slap out a beta next week when my wisdom teeth are being removed.
I'll keep you posted with screenshots if I got something new...

Some steampunk textures I'm working on for a new map:

It's just a simple test room btw
Like my other texture sets, they'll be made publicly available on my website when they're done.

I've been noticing a lot of steampunk stuff lately. I wonder why that is?

I want to see more cyberpunk :drool:

It's nice. No blame.
QuakeLive's new levels are looking great. Finaly iD's comming close to the community in means of graphics (for Quake3).

I started a cyberpunk level a wihle ago. But I after a short wihle figured that it's not for Quake3s performance level, then it's not for me - Not anymore. The level ended up as Crescent.

You can hardly be accused of stealing or plagiarism when using images from publicly available libraries so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. :rolleyes: @ the very idea.

edit: didn't know you posted the correct answer on this page but I though i recognized those rocky formations.

looks very nice, how much is it left before we can see a beta of even a final product of Overdose?

I would say over 9,000 days.

No, atm we are working pretty damn heavy on tools and stuff for the team to make everything as easy as possible. But theres a lot of stuff I have sitting on my HDD in screenshot form that I can't post yet, like Player model renders and movies etc. Remember that Marauder Medic...? Yeah, hes done ;)

Nice. Is the MT restricted to z-plane mapping or can you do it on other axes as well?

Anything really, that can be UV mapped. So it can be a on a pure flat wall.

The screenshot itself has lots of vertical and good looking planes :)

BTW, Who was talking about cgtextures a few posts ago? Does the road ring a bell? ;)

ETQW terrain (as in the example posted by o'dium above) is UV-mapped in a modeling app the traditional way, with z-plane megatextures layered on top. ETQW cannot use megatextures along any other axes. Hence the question.

id Tech 5 is supposed to remove this restriction so that virtually any world surface can take advantage of megatexturing.

How exactly does megatexturing work? I tried finding something of some sort of value to read but can only find tutorials on how to make them.

Is it texture streaming through the use of a quadtree or something along those lines?

Two parts. One is the creation, which is a large part of the mega texture. Its made using a whole range of variables you can update in real time that blend the terrain textures into the correct places, so that hills blend into rock, with grass blending between the cracks and what not. This is done using a combination of awesome code, distribution textures and angle vectors.

The second phase is getting it working ingame, which is done by loading only whats needed at a given time, streaming if you will.

So far we have managed to compress our MT's down to about 8x smaller in file size over standard .tga with zero difference in quality, but we can go much further still, so thats where the tests are coming in. The first test for us was getting it there, hence the ET:QW terrain. The second test is actually making it all, from scratch, with our own media, which is going quite well. High poly sculting of terrain is a right bitch though :P

Yes, same here. And I have an UT classic background. That looks very Ut-ish... :olo: (which is nothing bad IMO)
