dm_cascade - wip

Ok this is my first real attempt at a map in source, I'll most likely throw it into the HL2DM comp. as well. But I am trying to finish up this one area and I want to get all your ungodly oppinions on my POS.

Oh and I know some shadows are just f*ked up, im gonna fix them, i swear.

Only 3 screens there atm, all of the same area, just diff. angles. All crit's welcome.

*edit*

I also want to add some more detail to the dam.. so any suggestions for that would be appreciated.

One thing that really bothers me is the sun, that looks a bit gay imo

Yeah agreed, that was the first compile with the sun in. So i'm still fixing that

Ok. Just been tweaking a little bit, I tried out your ideas sonic, ground is now less gray and has a lot of mud type texture to it, do i need more? Also dam texture has been increased in size, this also means i need to fix up some brushwork to adjust to new textures. It looks pretty good, but it gets a bit blurry when up too close.

Also I played with the sun a bit, looks better but still aint right

New screens are available in same link as above

/me kills

Congrats on the job at Crytek btw frie.

Added a drain like structure underneath one of the buildings (screens 7-9). Some shadow problems and terrain problems that will be fixed. Crits? And is that enough colour variation? I'm thinking of adding fallen leaves from the trees above

Did some work on the inside of the map, also have updated the outside area a bit. Here are some screens..

There are also still some issues in there with lighting, texture orientation, particle effects that are constantly being tweaked. Any suggestions would be real good guys.

(Another Screen next post)
