Since no one wants to comment on my macro shots, here is a place I explored this past Saturday.

Here is one of the shots:

(I am the guy on top)

ISO is 400 and I used an Epson scanner with negative holders and no reflective back to scan them in. The original files are 80mb PSD's and a resolution of 7000 x 5000

That is very badass

Brutal honesty: Your worst map, by far as it lacks contrast and pizazz. I want the quality as seen here:

I would say it needs brighter lights and more details, especially in the decal department

You can dooo it!

Yeah sorry, I didnt mean to pass it off as my own, I saw it at Crymod and thought it was awesome.

Quote from skdr

Exactly my thoughts. What's so "Crysis'ish" in those pics anyway?

Well for one, the way he has this final map planned is that it will have about 5 of these warehouses visible at once, THATS what makes it Crysis

Oh man I love that engine...

Really awesome! If you change one thing, just make your lighting have more contrast and it will be perfect

Quote from Yokai

Out of curiosity, how does this editor handle custom content? (Texture / Models are allowed to be imported correct?)Going to the topic in hand: Your map looks very nice. The rocks really do need some moss though!

It does it quite well to be honest

Increase your ambient brightness a lot more and make the normal brightness a lot less white and you will have quite the map

Quote from Sentura

ironic this is coming from the guy working on black mesa source :roll:

What the fuck is with all the hate? Get out

Man I would hate making that map knowing Crysis is out.

Good job though

Good lord Quakis, dont you think its time to branch out a little bit?

That globe thing is fucking awesome.

I just feel like you have too many conflicting themes, try and stay with one texture set, like Hydro's as it suits this idea you are going for a little better.

I meant about being over sensitive. But whatever really

Some tinkering

You are using a VERY bad texture/texture scaling on an otherwise great map.

Use Materials/terrain/cliff_white_and_grey and scale it higher than you are now so it doesn't repeat as much

Also, desaturate your colors, as they are a bit bright now.

Way to prove my point, guys :-|

Quote from Meotwister

congratulations JP for finding that... :-| I understand you have, apparently with BM, had a bad history with stolen art assets, I've had it happen to me too. You could be a bit less harsh, though, in the accusations and presenting of your evidence. Not like he replied to your first post on it like, "nuh uh man it's all 100% me". a pet peeve.. okay then, still a little like you're making a larger deal than needed.

Map is looking great skdr! Can't wait to see what ya did with the blue sky.

This is probably one of the more annoying things about this website. You guys are way too sensitive. I didnt make it a big deal, I just proved my point, that is all. And plus I already said that I liked the map, I just wanted to show that you dont always get away with stealing shit.

Quote from PogoP

Huh? "Thanks?"

It looks fine SKDR. Very nice, in fact! Though it seems a little visually cluttered in the exterior.

Look its just a huge pet peeve of mine, people taking other's work and calling it their own, even if its a small piece...

Yours!

Trust me, after being on the Black Mesa team for as long as I have been, you start to get really good at finding stolen work.

I like it.

But please dont directly rip the suspended walkways from Granary, thanks.
