Random Dev. Shots

I always had this feeling something sinister was going on at the core....

[thirdstreettito]

Heh, I just spent 2 hours looking through this topics pages and have some tremgasms.

[Kaleo]

[E-Mxp]

...wow...

[n.o.s.brain]

kaleo, thats leet!  great work with detailing.

[Kaleo]

Whoa. Didn't expect all that good feedback!

[techhead]

The one thing I noticed, that I notice quite often in custom maps, is that the edges are much too sharp. All the default maps either have:
A. A lip, bevel, or other structural thingy, or...
B. A texture with a noticeable and suitable edge.

Supertanker has too-sharp edges, so does Kaleo, Odin and X-20.
Your face and NOS Brain have it down right in thier shots.

[your face]

Nice work!  Very arachnid-style. 

Yeah, and you might want to do something about the edges. 

[Kaleo]

[techhead]

See?
A little change sometimes make a big difference.
I'm surprised not many people mention edging when writing mapping aesthetics guides.
The door still looks a little cookie-cutter, though.

[Diluke]

Damn i wish i can make so good maps like that ^^ but i dont have any 'ideas' to do those rooms and else i got only mine-type tunels
btw nice work ^^

[gareth]

looking good kaleo.

regarding edges, i dont think thats much of a problem, the problem is that the basic geometry is very right angled, it would look more interesting if the walls had some angle to them, say broken up into several horizontal brushes, eg.

+1 gareth except that it won't be mara friendly (hard to bounce off walls in tremor) and that might make the map more pro-human.

a little to open

[Amtie]

Open: Rant vs Luci = Rant killwhore

Closed: Rant vs Luci = Moar balanced

[TRaK]

Some new textures I'm working on, and a shot of them in action(not for trem):
They're still a bit (very) heavy on the red

Looks a bit better if you view the textures fullsize.

[your face]

Zomg, leet!  That had better be for trem even if it has crappy gameplay...

[TRaK]

No, that map is most certainly not for trem

Currently, it'll either be for Quake2world or OpenArena, or both.

[mooseberry]

Looks very good, but as you mentioned VERY red. 

[Taiyo.uk]

<3

[Amtie]

Why not for trem? =[

[Taiyo.uk]

Because trem isn't OA or Q2W.

[Lava Croft]

Because trem isn't OA or Q2W.

OA isn't Q2W either!

[Taiyo.uk]
