24 Hour map

[OhaiReapd]

Thanks First


oh and thanks Plague bringer! i didn't notice that

PS: i'm almost done with texturing, detailing here i come!

Yes! Btw Tam, The file size is too big to upload for ALOT of the clips, can you just use it and do the montage? Sorry I was at a football game and am going to a bonfire. I'll be on TS in like 2 hours!!

[Tamaru]

alright i'll be on teamspeak all night brother, see you soon!


updates:

[Tamaru]

i'll start texture work in 20, gone for food!

Hay Here is a pointless question But Do most people start off with caulk texture or just make a room at the beggining and texture it from right there?

[Tamaru]

you always start off with caulk then use crtl+shhift+click to texture all visable faces, it makes it max fps if you want detail


so yea, the way i got is i do the whole map then texture then lighting/details with 4 compiles

1. initial texture test
2. lighting test
3. final details and func_ or trigger_ tests
4. Final version

Depends on the person. My personal preference is to texture as I go, reason being that I can't really visualize the map when it's all caulk.


Tamaru, you really need to clean up your brushwork, I'm seeing plenty of intersecting brushes.

[Tamaru]

i'm terrible on texturing >.<





:/

[your face]

That's what happens when I caulk my entire map before texturing.  It all looks pretty in caulk, but when adding the textures, it gets really difficult to make look good.  It looks like you need to add trim to your brushes.  You are relying too much on face-texturing.

[Tamaru]

thanks face, progress:

[Tamaru]

be back in 15, need more drank & food.

leave comments/crits please! i need them

[Knowitall66]

Adjust scaling on textures so repeats aren't as obvious, rotate the crates. Keep stairs constant width, and change that texture. Also add another stair first step is too high. Needs more detail. Where are the lighting fixtures?!

[CorSair]

And what comes for textures, check this topic for few more. http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=14411.0

And keep it up going, looks interesting...

Yea this is looking really good. Too bad My pc is very slow and it took my mecka map to test build two dame days. (WHAT THE FREAK)

[UniqPhoeniX]

Tamaru: I recommend you fix those overlapping brushes. Replace those wall textures (in the first screenshot with textures). Maybe also make the base room more defendable for aliens (more boxes, smaller doorways?).
Otherwise looks good for the little amount of time put into it.

It shouldn't take that long even on a 10 year old PC. You are doing something wrong (my guess: all brushes structural).

Thats why i prefer make brushes and texture them instantly. It very hard to make matching geometry and textures if you sketching whole map from caulk.

[Tamaru]

Thanks for all the help and support everyone, it's really helping me improve!



that was the humans base and i wanted to test a compile so i didnt a quick over texture with the stairs.. that isn't final.


also the lighting fixture i'm using is an MD3 so no worries about that.

thanks everyone! i'm having a terrible day on a personal scale but i'm still gonna try to finish this map!

[Tamaru]

a little update, progres and improvement on the textures?

[Tamaru]

some more progress, i'd like crits please and thanks guys <3 you are all helping me a lot! i'm about 75% done... lighting and some final texturing until an alpha!

[CATAHA]

Seems all ok, except some vertical pannels texture too stretched. Using fit? If you need fit by width and not distort by height - just copy width scale value to height scale value after fit action. =)

[Tamaru]

alright thanks, that texture looks less streteched in-game and it looks decent so for now i'll leave it.


75% done with texturing! i'll compile the lighting test and skip the initial one in 30 minutes!

[Tamaru]

i won't finish the map at my schedueled time, i'm sorry.


i have a lot of physical and emotional stress from my personal life right now, so i will come back after i feel better.

Hey Tamaru, you have breathed a little bit of life back into Tremulous Mapping. Take your time and deal with your life first.

[Tamaru]

Thanks plague, and thanks everyone who helped me on the way along to where I've gotten with this map! it means a lot to do something in development that interests people since it is a major passion of mine.


After some 1.2 i'll get back on development!

[Tamaru]

omg guess who is back!


i'm working on the final touches now!

[CATAHA]

Cant w8 for release )

[Tamaru]

i'm so exhausteeedddd but i wanna finish

[Tamaru]

i'm done for now, i'm really stressed out from a lot of thingsand this weekend is getting worse and worse.


so i will get back on it soon.. sorry people for not hitting the deadline i had.


      Till next time,   :tyrant:Tamaru

[CorSair]

Bleh, I can't make that much even in week.

But I will be waiting your finished map with patience...

[DraZiLoX]

Wow! Are those lights over there? If they are, shouldn't you use shaders instead?

[Tamaru]

? what? no... shaders can emit light but that isn't enough to properly light a whole map.

and also they were for a quick test of a couple things
