yes you should. why do you use a sun with an -90deg angle? No long shadows or at least shadows at all. Maybe a small angle would be good to give everything a more interesting look. Besides you should try to use more displacement geometry outside the "camp" and with more variation, it looks kinda odd to me if the camp is inside everything.

Maybe you can use a third displacement texture as well to vary the ground a bit more.

Here is my work (again), i hope you guys are now a bit more pleased with the background. I sill need to work with the random window lighting, but i think the way is right. Especially if you don't forget that only the roof of these 3 buildings are the playground for the big kids. Everything else is only there to look good.

it is

well, except for the white building and the batman lightspot (but somehow i like the idea ), i did what you said. (before i read your post )

I need another 20min to compile the map but i'll show you the result.

so, what would you change?

Quote from killertomato

- you put alot of resembling buildings next to each other, it shows a little- you seem to have slight scaling issues

- i have not seen building entrances on the ground level

- i really like the skybox! selfmade?

Scaling should be about right. i've always placed a gamemodel nearby a building. and of course i worked with 128units per floor. So this should be just fine. You're right about the entrances. There are some, but not every building has its own entrance. The 2D Skybox is a hl2 standard sky, but it isn't used that often.

Btw the resembled buildings are an issue but thats why this thing is a wip and not final

I've changed a lot in the background, in fact i dropped the old background and started with a new idea of another city. I also reduced the floors of the main Building and split it into 3 buildings.

ToDo:

• 
  [*:3vp5oekb]add Decals
  [*:3vp5oekb]change the buildings in the last two rows
  [*:3vp5oekb]add the gamemechanics (its an aim map, so i want an auto-spawned ak / m4)
  [*:3vp5oekb]other stuff

As you can probably see, the color correction isn't that intense anymore.

startet two days ago. Its a very small fun/aim Map based on the following article: http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/ ... -stop.html

this is the old version made in 2008 with very low texturemaking skills

and now the new one. i hope you'll like it

yeah, a bit. Its funny how everyone thinks different about the design and why it looks how it looks.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Homeworld, Battlestar Galactica, Mass Effect and even Stargate.

Btw. the current Spacestation with Textures (Spec, Bump, Diffuse)looks like this (rendered in 3ds max)

and the next thing, only the mesh but it is modular

i liked the first screenshot, everything after that improves the lighting for the worse. (in my opinion)

i played the game round about 50 times and i still do (with my psp and a snes emulator) in the train. A link to the Past is my all time favorite!

This is the second fortress in the dark world. It's the room before you get to the big key without lowering the (in this case very grey-isch looking) blue blocks.

Here is the original, if someone wants to compare (made with an pc emulator, i have the snes here but getting a screenshot would be a bit too costly).

well i used cs:s as game, so it only crashes cause of the lack of the right entities (I guess)
