Need some external feedback on this little environment I'm creating for one of my other modules at uni. I've been in UDK messing with it for hours now and there's something not quite right about it.
This is just an atmospheric test at the moment, no proper environment assets have been made yet. Any feedback will be great!

Edit - Argh it hasn't resized.. copy the image to your url bar to see the full image.
I find the mountains on the left of the screen a tad bright considering that there isn't sunlight coming from behind them. Otherwise, looks awesome!
your fog needs to be much much darker, almost as dark as the sky around the sunset
Quote from robert.briscoewhen is image scaling on these forums going to be fixed in IE??
You can make a low res image and make it link to a higher res pic, like I did in the last post of the previous page. I would hope everyone could use that method. You don't get small ass thumbnails and the picture will remain within the forum format. And you get the higher res pic when you click it lower res one.
Win-win.
Cheers fellas! Here's a little update.. Slowly but surely getting there.
We're not allowed to use terrain any more so I've had to convert it to a static mesh and make my own material setup. UDK material editor fun times ensued and I'm happy with the result. Makes me realise how much the ground texture sucked before!
The only downside to not using terrain is that I'm going to have to handplace the foliage. Any tips on how to make this not lag my computer down to a standstill? UDK terrain foliage fades out, can I get a similar effect?

Looking good, great improvement compared to the previous screen. You could try messing around with LOD models but not sure how well this is handled with foliage.
Nice one PogoP, loving that sunshafts!

A Testlevel I did in 2 hours, using a terrain generator and a custom ToD. 
Looks like another planet, cool 
That's awesome, I love the snow shader effect.
Another tf2 map

woah! seriously nice job.
3dnj: I was never a fan of the Egypt set, but I really like what you've done with it here. Nice work!
Falc: What terrain generator, if I may ask?
I think my biggest gripe with the Egypt levels is that they all look pretty much the same. Plus the color pallet basically consists of one color but the lighting setup you have for your level makes it stand out from the rest, 3dnj.
New scene I started:

Nice stairs and i love the damage on the pillars except that the damage is on the same horizontal line as the other pillar. Maybe if it was rotated or something it would look better.
It's actually the same pillar instanced over as a temporary placeholder, here's the actual pillar model I'll be using:

The railings for the steps are also the same at the moment as well but that'll change soon enough.
Thanks, guys. i'm testing another light style, a lot of people found the first one too yellow.

That looks fabulous.
Looks great, I love it =)
Love the clean look 3Dnj!
I absolutely love all things Ancient Egyptian and this is no exception.. top notch work! It's really cool to see such variety in TF2 maps
