Term - These are just my crits/ideas, you don't need to take them.

[Blocked Image: http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8964/mycommentsam4.jpg]

1 - The prison sink from HL2 looks madly out of place. (atleast I think thats what it is.) It appears to be a very middle-eastern place, and randomly there is a sink. It also is way too low, unless it's meant to be something else. I'd rather see another spiritual well or something.

2 - I don't know, something about the enterence to this small room seems odd. You either enter through a smashed wall, or a lifted gate (The gate looks pretty bad too.) I just wish there was an actually desginated hallway arch.

3 - Maybe it's just me, but these appear to hang really low. I think you'd smash your head on them. When used in lostcoast the ceiling I think was proabably 256-512 units from the ground.

Looks awesome though. I really think this map would look great with some custom models/props.

@Term!nator525: warm fuzzy feeling in tummy initiated !

Felix i knew what it was before reading your comment good job on authenticity

Mr. Happy: i cant tell what it is but i like the fog color and light beams and all around the lighting a lot at first i thoghed this was a piece of concept art

Hello Mapcore crew! I decided to finally join here myself..

Here's some my very early WiP shots of my upcoming mall map:

These shots are most-likely to show how my roof looks like, ya know?

SotaPoika - looks good for a start, although the big steel bars with holes bother me. They are pretty close to the floor, and they feel much too heavy for the area + their orientation clashes with the composition of the rest of the room.

_____________________________________

UT3 map WIP - entirely modeled - 90 percent own textures and meshes - remaining 10 percent was downloaded of texture and model resource sites.

Temp 5 minute test render in 3DSMax - not ingame - not representative of the final result - no materials or normal maps - test lighting set up in less than 10 seconds just to bring the idea across.

White is waterfall - 7 more waterfalls in the level - 4 large ones

The terrain and grass is a temp replacement for Unreal's internal terrain system - there will be more sand:)

Polycount currently in view about 40 000

Very nice! No too sure about the circle window at the top and transition between rocks and the building (although you might solve this with lighting or whatsoever).

⌐■_■ · October 25, 2007 at 7:21 PM

i love it

would change the lightsetting tho.. think its too bright..

Hourences · October 25, 2007 at 7:25 PM

Yeah, light is temp. Dont know what ill do with it. Prolly much darker than this, more gloomy.

The big window is part of the identity of the house and really was the intention, based on http://members.lycos.nl/caryatid/images ... pen_18.jpg

However, looking at it again after your comment, especially the T piece in the middle of the room bothers me now and is much too thick in comparison with other elements on the house.

So Im going to dump the T piece, thanks

I've been quiet lately, but I'm still working on the texture pack and design studies.

[Blocked Image: http://www.methodonline.com/temp/lq_new.jpg]

I discovered a way to make practically any texture (surface) look painted. I used white, because I consider making white paint the hardest. Other colors could be easily overlayed sometimes.

I'm planning on writing a tutorial for this, if anybody is interested.
