Much love for the Evil Lair textures

Looks pretty good.

Looks nice but reminds something from Dm Turbine (Unreal Tournament)

Maybye a little too dark`?

hamst3r · January 29, 2005 at 8:47 PM

the brick texture gets a lil' repedative, but look very good.

Very cool map!

btw, is there a lot of q3 servers/players?

Looking nice there, but a bit too high contrast in lightning.

Try having more ambient dark blue then pitch black in the dark areas.

Looks UT:ish.

Pretty cool stuff

I'd like to see some more variated light colours tho.

Mazy · January 30, 2005 at 3:21 PM

gah, those textures looks awful imo D:

also i dont really know about the architecture of things, looks like theres some random vent shafts here n there n som trims there, hmmmm

but i donno if you want it to be chaotic on purpose D:

I like the blues but overall the lighting is kinda bland - perhaps introduce subtle variety in the main ambient lighting colour?

I agree with Mazy. Also if you are going for a castle theme, why so much vents? I think a more orange/yellow or even green lighting would look cool as I think it would match the textures better

Looks way too chaotic between textures and your brushwork. Your light fades need to be more subtle and less stand outish. I think with some reworking of the lighting and some better texturing you'll find it'll stand out as a more quality map.

Dunno if you've seen any other maps by KIIIA Marcos, but typically his themes are completely crazy mixes of settings.

Yes, some of them really are.

The theme i`m aiming for is a modernized castle.A stonecold building from the middle ages stuffed with modern technic, vents and computers.

The lighting is planned to support a stonecold, technicold & icey feeling.

That`s why i don`t want to add any warm colors in lighting that would destroy the feeling.

Work out the theme a little bit better. It just looks the same throughout the map. Variations in color have been suggested, and i agree. (But those 2 are related). Just come up with a few crazy elements you could put into this map. Give some areas a purpose (even if you work it out in an abstract way). Just do something to not make every room look just the same.

Hello, nice that mapCore is up again.So i want to show u some progress in the q3_Technicastle.I am planing for a release during the easter holidays (within the next 2 weeks).Level geometry is 90% done.Pimping up some scenes and doing the entity stuff is still left on the To-do list.

I still think some subtle color variations would be cool . I'm not sure why but for some reason i like these screenshots better than the old ones, so that's a good thing i guess
