Something that I'm going to be releasing next weekend... Some peeps might recognise this one as I had posted bunch of piccies of this map like ... 100 pages ago?

Pretty colours

colors remind me of brainbread. nice

looks awesome. lots of colours and depth

Holy moly it's a disco tech. I think those big red lights need to be replaced by a less in your face colour. Orange, for example.

True. Will remove those the next build. Thanks dux and everyone.

I think I like the red lights. They add contrast.

Next build...

@ aaron_da_killa : True that but now that I look at it, I have also used blueish sorta color for windows and that is 3rd color in the scene. Adding one more would be an overkill.

i don't think i like the cold lights against the warm textures, maybe something more warm and neutral to make it more subtle? not sure which way you wanna go with this.

the windows are less interesting now with all that sympathetic blue. they popped with the red.

This is how I'd like to see the lighting, KT is right about the warmth. My awesome clone stamp skills in full effect here.

I originally wanted to go for that sorta color and I would have if interior hadn't looked so washed out; orange looked way too dominant. Had to lower saturation a bit and that's pretty much what you see now.

Apart from that, this map has reached a point where the map wouldn't fully compile without giving me like 6-7 critical errors. 6000 brushes and 2000 light objects is a bit too much for the engine that is like 14 years old, lol.

I actually really like the color variation and depth in this shot. My only criticism would be the texture for those blue lights is just a little too bright/white. Tone it down slightly and I think the whole thing would look much better. The actual light actor settings are fine and this scene is interesting because of the colors -- The orange scheme proposed by dux just looks too much like "Yet Another Rust Factory" in my eyes.

Hey guys, I've been a silent reader for quite some time now. I've worked on a UT3 map long time ago, but didn't have the time to finish it. I did a custom glass shader for that map and have been ask how i did that a few times. So I thought maybe it will be useful to someone if I post it here. The final result looks like this:

And here is the node setup (as a link because the image is huge):

Sweet looking glass shader indeed

I opened up the Crysis sandbox deliberately without looking at any tutorial or trying to learn anything about it before playing around. I mean, it's called a sandbox, right? Should be intuitive through playing around.

I liked it better before I somehow made everything green, and it has some random error when I try to switch to "play mode", and I have no clue where that ocean popped out of all of a sudden (I was in the materials editor trying to find a ground texture (and failing) and I clicked something and suddenly, boom, ocean). Still, not bad. Looks a bit better than when I did the same thing with Unreal 1, although I had more complete in Unreal 1 before opening a guide, basically all I missed was a) rebuilding and b) the player spawn point.

Before you switch to game mode for the first time after creating a new level you need to save and restart the editor once (this step is only required once for the level, no worries!).

Water level is controlable in the Terrain dialog (just click set water level). Your level is green because you didn't paint the terrain yet and it uses the default texture (blurry green mass). I still like the Crysis 1 Editor alot - for making Island Levels that thing is a blast.

I like where this project is going, the height differences made it way more interesting!

But... I reached the end of the world, I leaped off... and I was gone:

This didn't happen in the previous release, but perhaps I got lucky? Dunno, perhaps you learn something from the screeny? In that whole length the level is "cut".

not sure where it happened, but i fell through the floor somewhere:

Same, twice.

Is this blizzards next game?
