WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

[mjens]

Ahh, I have to jump to Q1 mapping, Hammer 3.4 oh that was great

[The Vulture]

Not really a level. More of a scene I made for a project a while back. It required some fine tuning so I've been working on it tonight.

[syver]

Looks cool, but too many planets (at least for one screenshot/angle). I would get rid of two of them. Edit: Actually, I would consider removing all of them, as the planets takes all the attention away from what makes the picture look good.

[sarge mat]

Maybe keep the big one with the disk though, think it adds to the setting.

[Evert]

The planets is what I liked

[DysPatch]

I like the planet with the disc, because its nice and subtle, and just fits the atmosphere better (with the layer of cloud/fog on it).

[deceiver]

Nice atmosphere, kinda reminds me on Avatar =P

[The Vulture]

@ csyver

All of them? O_o

Anyway, I was thinking of planets as moons to the big gas giant with the rings. That would definitely be possible. But I can see what you mean, maybe I should go ahead at at least delete one of them.

@ sarge mat

I agree.

And thanks Evert, DysPatch and deceiver!

i think changing them into a few moons would help, but i'd prefer to see only one or maybe two. this is too much and it does take the attention away, right now there's a bit of a lack of a composition in my opinion. and what is that big black thing growing out of the mountains on the right? i don't get it...

I just followed the concept art for the big black thing, but I agree, it looks kinda weird. I'm going to remove that.

God f*cking dammit... I was going to show a new version the scene now but the Editor crashed, as usual. That's what I hate with CE2, it crashes as soon as it's under a little stress. Maybe I'll redo it tomorrow.

[DaanO]

That makes me curious about the concept art. Are you at liberty to post it here? I guess some big structure can work but right now it makes the treeline look weird (what the hell is going on there, upside down treeline?) and if you want to include it you'd need to scrap something else. Right now it's 10 postcards in one

[The Vulture]

I am not, but it has already been removed along with one moon and another one has been made smaller and moved to a better place. I can show you a pic whenever I have time to grab a screenshot, probably on Thursday. That little part was initially part of the concept art but the rest of the scene is now completely different (I no longer follow the concept art, I'm just playing around).

[Mr. Happy]

I hope you removed the left planet I think that was the one that was throwing it off. As for that black plus shaped thing it might look good as a more well defined tree stuck to the edge of the cliff.

[Tron]

If you want to keep all the planets I would firstly tone down the contrast on the planet with rings a bit more. As a general rule no part of anything you can see in the sky like that should be darker than the sky itself. Think about how the moon looks when you see it during the day.

Then I would shrink those two planets (or moons as you have decided they will be) by a factor of ten at least. Making them quite small in the sky would actually increase the feeling of scale to the whole thing.

I don't mind that planets could be as far as I know so close! Reduce them a little bit. Otherwise that as said below made me think of avatar and I fuck*** love it!
