WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

its boring cause its flat. Find something to break up the walls and add depth to the architecture.

the roof is too thick!

But the whole situation doesn't really make any sense.

the idea (im not quite there yet, obviously), is that theres a canal under that bridge and there are houses on top.

ok, im working on the yellow house right now, fixing the roof and whatnot

i like the abandoned feel of that Venice

I think Venice needs a better sky, night/evening would prolly look good (of course, it's overused too..but) and the water is a big no no.

Here are a couple more shots from dm_torrent. This time just showing a bit of the outdoor areas.

2nd shot is beautiful erratic. I say this not only for your wonderufl sense of atmosphere and appropriate detail, but you have vertical depth in your buildings. In the first shot, it would be much more powerful for instance if you had buildings of multiple heights. Inaccessible areas of maps are often the majority of the screen, so make sure they get as much detail as the minority of the screen or your overall atmosphere will lack.

I'll definately toy with it. Just have to decide where to place a second level that would lend itself visually to different angles. Thanks.

that mound on the left is a little high, looks weird to me.

Looks great Erratic, I like the grey style. As ferret mentioned it could improve the first shot a lot by having some buildings at other heights.

I love it, erratic! Great atmosphere. The only downside I can see is the cables in the first picture look a bit by-the-numbers imo.

mike-o: More shadows would give it a nice touch

erratic: that looks pretty cool but the displacements are way too high in some places.

That is why I did not add boats before. Because boats made from displacements are ugly as sin.

why don't you just make models?
