WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

That's some sick stuff you got there.

what about the ladders and everything? the reason i ask is because i made something similar some time back and the reason i stopped was actually the lack of assets...

it's a given that it looks awesome. i'm also a bit curious as to how you managed to create some of the holes in the displacements, especially those that seem asymmetric. this was also a major problem of mine.

The ladders and logs I also made myself. I've uploaded the vmf along with the assets for you to take a look at, its still validating at the moment so wait a bit.

Before i started the structures of the cave I had a look at what tutorials were available on them, as well as looking as other examples. I managed to take a look at the EP2 .vmfs and noticed instead of using one brush for say 6 displacement faces, they used 6 brushes which overlapped each other . I couldn't really understand why at the moment, but I followed the same example and realised why they had done it when it came to sculpting the caves. It made sewing the disps together and subdividing them so much easier, the only downside I found was view ports became a confusing mess. Anyway its rather difficult to explain so Ill let the vmf do the talking.

Cheers

thanks, much appreciated!

I downloaded UDK over the break and fooled around with some of the stalk assets. Ended up making a small little DM map. Decided to continue working on the flow but wanted to show you guys the big picture. This is about 3 days of work.

looks rad, somehow reminds me of a set in The Dark Crystal or Starwars

Something I've always wanted to do, is build a fantasy or scifi city into the walls of cliffs - could be so cool.

yeah i was thinking starwars.

Something small to learn a bit more about the cry engine, before trying to do a proper level.

saw it on WOLD, and looks good, i see you've darken the interior a bit, and looks much better

cheers. yea the difference is massive when I look at the old screens, it had no contrast at all. Ended up using a Vis Area as the sun light was making it all too bland and just faked the sun coming though the window.

Are you using projector lights? They are the saving grace of interior lighting in cryengiine 3

Na i wasn't just looked up how to use them though, really useful!

everything is too straight and organised, take another look at the level that uses those assets and see how things are placed.

Maybe some people like to have organized shit

lol , yea good point though I do tend to do things a bit too much 90 degrees etc.

I know what he means, look at the windows for example, a very distinct tiling pattern, at least flip some of those textures around to introduce variation.
