To be honest those screenshots don't look great, I hope you will add more detail and polish current (WIP ftw)

[Plague Bringer]

what do you mean by meld?
Plus, I may switch out those textures...

Blend them. Make them look more natural.

[CreatureofHell]

Oh, those. You've heard my comments but I will repeat them here: More detail in first pic, smaller crystals, (more hax  )

[A Spork]

Hax are forthcoming....slowly

[duck-o-destruction]

the light purple diamond texture doesnt quite fit in.  You can see the border quite clearly.

Sex. Slightly ew, but sex.

[==Troy==]

I wouldnt say that its just slightly ew, but isnt brain and face working on something similar?

I think so but im with a team for an Aussie mapping competition and the theme is light blue, so we decided to do a water theme. As we all know water isnt too flash in trem so its underwater

those trees look like a shroom

The shrooms look like shrooms too!

You're using like 5 textures...

Not including models. I would work on improving your detail/texturing/brushwork, not just hoping models will beautify it.

@spork: don't you know of the 'meld' button in radiant!?! xD jk hehe

@nubcake: those trees are either patches, or badly done models, rite? brushwork trees look better, but I suppose if you are in a rush, the general idea is there.  btw, is that a shark model I see there? I would be interested to use it in my map if you don't mind.
(glad my ideas can be of service to the community)

Shrunk the Crystal Texture a bit, and added some bumps and such to the ground.

[your face]

looking better , lighting still looks really odd, and needs terrain on the walls and celing, try making the patches look more organic maybe

[A Spork]

Looks Odd How?
How would I make Patches "More Organic"?

I hated rock walls until I found this. Maybe you can do something to make, at least, the deposits coming out of the walls more natural looking? Hell, make the walls more natural looking while you're at it.

[A Spork]

Until you found what?
As for the deposits....Yeah, not sure how to go about doing that, but its a good idea....
and roughing up the walls/ceiling is on my todo list

[mooseberry]

Current Work In Progress (very SLOW work in progress): Hangar1 (Lol working title k) I know it's kind of WTFHUEG, but it will probably end up being for Unvanquished, so it's all good.





P.S. Thanks TRaK for those nice textures.

Yeah were on a tight schedule, the trees are patches, im using 24 textures but i agree it will be mixed up more. thnx for feedback.

@mooseberry: <3

[n.o.s.brain]

It sucks.

[amz181]

hmm, im making a map right now, which im actually planning on releasing! But my screenshots dont work it says it writes them, but they dont write. Any chance of some insight?

[CreatureofHell]

amz181: try checking C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Tremulous

[Sacrosanct]

Took all the criticism you guys gave me from my first map so I decided to apply it all in making my second map, Drainage. This is the only hallway I have totally done but I'm hoping it will be a good indication of the rest of the map 

[your face]

looks 100% better, good work & keep it up

[mooseberry]

I would just say that 1.) Your light textures are way to big and stretched, shrink them down please! The other thing is the bolt metal and the "wires" textures on the floor don't look nice together. Use some kind of trim texture to seperate them and it will look a lot nicer.

I don't know what your maps look liked before (don't show me though) but this looks pretty nice, aside from the fact that the color scheme looks like early 2000s. (I'm not particularrly partial to all brown color schemes, but your hall seems nice overall.)

[Sacrosanct]

Lol thanks, this is only my second map so I don't really have "other maps" lol. Anyway I'll add that trim and put up another shot, thanks for the tip.


Alright, here's a second version, changed the lights, added the trim (helped a ton, thank you), decided to keep the color scheme since it's just a result of the blue tinted concrete textures mixed with the orangish light.




I still think I'm going to have to go back and shrink down the top lights, they're still looking a little big.
