Unreal - Courtyard (working name)

sarge mat · July 16, 2009 at 7:46 PM

Working on this one for a few weeks for the haunted Unreal mod again. I think it’s a big improvement from the first one I tried for this mod. Would like some feedback on the lights as well to see what people think of them.

Thanks!

Mat

I think your wall pieces would look much better if they were lightmapped, they look like old school vertexlit meshes now I also think your ambient lighting looks real bright, taking away much of the contrast. Last but not least you need to find a way to break the monotony in your floors, either by using decals or unique meshes!

It seems like you are off to a nice start, so keep it up!

The map looks very flat. Give that church a higher tower, add pillars to the tomb and add a second floor for more verticality.

Like this:

You also need a proper entrance gate/door for the tomb. What you have now doesn't look convincing.

The lighting needs more contrast, especialy in the tomb. Some dark corners where zombies or whatever could hide. It also looks like there are no shadows down there.

thats your best map till now tbh, but like the others it is way to empty and needs more detail, especially on the floors as mentioned by mino..

btw call it Curseyard

Adding a few bending corners in a square room really helps too

Thanks guys

you could try to get some support structure. it looks like the ceiling holds itself in place.

sarge mat · July 24, 2009 at 4:14 PM

Thanks. Focusing on adding that kind of thing in at the moment.

Will post an update before I go away for a few days.

damn chris, i love what you just did there.

@ Freak I am so calling it that now

Quick you tube video which might give a better view of the map. I have not added in all the feedback that people suggested yet but I am getting there. Also the light rays from the bottom windows in the lower area look a bit weird atm.

Thanks.
