It's a BSP based engine, what do you expect?

STFU. you even have to look up at wikipedia what BSP means.

god, i hate it when "artists" talk about technical detail they know shit about (((

it's a pretty good read if you're a coder. i never considered quadtrees bearing resemblance to BSP trees. i wonder what the running time of the algorithm is.

This an experimental map to see what I can do with very, very large scale outdoor scenery in Source. The skybox is about 1/4 the size of the entire Hammer grid, multiplied x16 by the engine, making it several miles across. Here's a pic in editor of the skybox:

I originally terrain mapped the entire grid, then after testing it ingame deleted the parts of the grid that weren't visible to the player, and pulled back the water brush. The empty spot in the middle is where the actual play area fits in.

The only real problem I've had with this is texture alignment where the skybox touches the play area. I have to make the play area much bigger than I really need, scale textures, and distort the border with props and decorations to disguise it.

I've yet to add anything to actually do in it yet, though. The "play area" is just a rectangular opening in the hills.

(it also looks less impressive than it might be capable of because I'm running in DX8 mode by necessity (Stupid Radeon 9250, not having SM2 support...) and compiled the map with rad in fast mode)

Why does it look so grainy? It's like you applied a sharpen filter 100 times.

Low resolution? No AA/AF? JPG compression? FRAPS screenshot algorithm? Take your pick.

No Mipmapping Actually.

a bit round hills ^_^

[-rt-]

what do you think about it?!

i like the idea of painted textures, the 2nd shot is a bit dark in my view, and the texture of these pillars looks so repetitive

BSP is a simple concept, even an "artist" should understand it.
