Random Dev. Shots

[amz181]

looking very good moose. i wouldnt say the floor looks bland, but it lacks stuff, it seems quite big and its just one hallway with nothing in it. Im assuming your gonna add more though.

But anyway looks excellent, it definently doesnt look like a beginner map.

Tips.

the lights on the walls are cut off, im not sure if thats intentional or not but either way they look cut off. If it a matter of size, higlight the light, hit S, then a window will come up called surface inspector. Click on Fit, and the texture will fit to the brush (BTW theres to fit buttons, im not sure which on it is, so if one doesnt work try the other)

One thing to make sure that you dont change. Is your lighting, your lighting is perfect, make sure you dont change it.

And as mentioned above the hallway lacks stuff. And when your adding "stuff" make sure you do it intelligently, thinking about how you can help dretches etc.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Knowitall: I might do some work on the floor, or add something. I left that short side wall blank on purpose, (it is small) because I feared too much detail would start to make it look cluttered.

amz: First of all, thanks.

It's hard to tell from the angle of the shot, but at the end of the "hallway" (veranda/overlook/loft/etc) their is actually stairs which lead down to the bottom floor below.

I fixed those lights, I'd kinda forgotten about that, thanks for reminding me.

I use lighting as an art form maybe I'll upload another/more pics later.

I'll look forward to it Get some shaders in there as well.

also, make sure you have all the lights at the right intesity at /r_gamma 1

I know it may seem obvious, but i had to redo my entire map because i was doing to too dark for gamma 1.

OMG? SUPERPIE MAPS? MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE!!!!!!!  BEST MAP EVAR!!!!

OK

its all looking amazing, a matter of personal preference though, vary things a bit more texture-wise. Grey monotone levels i find to be very boring to look at. Spice things up a little, still keep the grey base if ya want bu add some other textures to compliment them. The first screen is great, but its the second one im talking about.

The green and blue pipes are just a color if im not mistaken, so get textured versions

also in the second screen, spice up the walls a bit, like you did in the first screen with indents etc.

Hey TraK, you seem like a fairly decent mapper.

I just discovered this cool new game. It is free and is called Tremulous. They are coming out with a new version soon. Anyways, they have this mapping program which you can make maps for tremulous and try it out! I think you should map for tremulous, it looks cool.


P.S. Mods, please ban TraK from forums if he has not made 5 perfect maps in the next week.

:F why they don't want to add parallax mapping You will never get that kind of graphics with current outdated engine

lol, i agree, TRaK you should make some moor maps for tremulous, although I love your current trem maps

I'm sure the developers will consider to include it, when you send them a patch.

Minor Update



The train carraiges are going under a massive overhaul. The carraiges will still be as big from the outside, but smaller on the inside (still the same width but the height will be lessened). And it will be supra detailed.

So new screens should be coming soon

Also if youve noticed the 12fps, dont worry, i havent got any real walls up as of yet, so i just make a massive box and hollow it to allow me to compile. So it will be a lot more friendly to lower end PCs in beta 1.

[mooseberry]

Uhm, so after starting to learn I took a long time off from mapping. First 2 days back :/



In second image, it's hard to tell because of darkness, but thats a little "platform" on the other side of the ladder.



Comments please.

((Rest of room still sort of boxy + too dark in a few spots, this is not near finished, but it is dev shots >.> )

Release date?

[Winnie the Pooh]

Looks good! 

Lighting, yeah it needs to be done but I wouldn't worry much about it.
Detailing, I think you've pretty much got it going there.
"Boxy" look, try to vary the angles of the walls more:

'                |             
Instead of   |_

'         |
Try      \_

For a not-so-plain look. Good job, moose.

[your face]

Looking good, you two.  I see moose is going for the arachnid approach.
