WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

Hydeph: Hehe, that's cool I guess.

I tried to add more color to the recent shot (yellow and blue).

-Method

Oh nice Hyd.

Edit:

Lmao there goes my reading abilities.

Copy =

Sucks when people blatantly copy.

Quote from hydeph

hey method, it's looking great. i was browsing another mapping site and there is this 'mini competition' where you must create a hallway, well, it seems one user has taken a liking to your map...

Thats hilarious. People are so full of shit

Hi hydeph! Betchya didn't know I was a member here! I don't post much, and lurk rarely.

Anyhow, thought I'd just drop in and say a few words. Unfortunately, the sheet of corrugated iron and angle made it seem like a carbon copy. Taken from a different angle, it doesn't bear much resemblance at all aside from the basic shape (it's a hallway competition?).

Nevermind the overly angry post at TWHL, as well. I'm only an asshole over there because it's funny.

(Nice map, Method, by the way)

It's an attempt at a copy, so ergo you fail.

Trapt: If it was copy or not, I do not hold anything against you man. I would be flattered if someone liked my stuff to recreate it. So no hard feelings either way.

-Method

That's pretty gracious of you Method.

Trapt, it's almost a carbon copy, seems kinda ridiculous to pretend you didn't copy it or at least take influence from it ..or copy it. Lucky for you Method is cool with it.

I don't think Trapt DID copy it and I really do think some people in here jump to conlusions WAY to fast.

Anyhow, Method, you have an admirable attitude. GG.

Tbh that's a copy just as much as it can possibly be. I guess it's fine since Method takes it so well

A little something I'm working on parallely to DoD_Nightingale.

Again, it's really nice Albatros

The 2nd screen is my favorite, great textures usage, it really have a cool chaos feeling.

Good job !

Looks pretty good, but too full of things, looks very cramped.

you, you, you, .... AAAAH IF I ONLY COULD TELL :X

It's looking pretty cool albatros, i'd just say that you have a quite desatured lighting and that the bridge has a weird structure

Hi again

Sky and lighting are straight from Valve's suggestions, if I remember it correctly dod_donner is featuring similar or even identic values.

The map is a redux version of my old DoD_Nürnberg and will feature much of the old stuff.

The bridge is called "Museumsbrücke" and will receive some more work soon. I think it's a pretty normal bridge, at least comparing it to Nuremberg's standards...

Its good but your work is still sloppy as ever. I think you should really spend more time on these things, the rapid pace of development really shows and ruins alot of genuine creativity and hard work

Textures do not just "flow" into other textures, there has to be a seamless quality and coherence of models and textures. That seems to completely elude you in those shots unfortunately.

light blue= areas where you went too geometric, a wall just doesn't "end" it is broken up, you basically just use triangles which looks hideous

dark blue= areas where your models just look silly next to each other and should be replaced with more coherent sets

red= areas where your texturing is poor, you should work on making textures look more natural together and flow into one another with decals and wood dividers or anything that doesn't call attention to the lack of smooth transition

Hi FMPONE,

thanks for the paintover, I'll be correcting those issues .

You should know though that those aspects you mentioned aren't a problem of "sloppy" work on my side, but rather that I won't wait until i have a release candidate to show pictures in a WIP thread.

It's a matter of the grade of progress I make on the map. These pictures show a scenery that's maybe fifty percent finished and only one day old - I'm usually not aiming for overall perfection until a third or fourth beta goes on it's way. Most issues you named can be fixed with a few overlays or changing a model, and I promise I'll take care of these things sooner or later, but right now it might just be too soon to claim perfection .

Thanks again,

Albatros
