WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

I was basing it more on this

It's the seedbank thing in Norway, pretty cool place.

 

I think what was missing was a proper texture, so I came up with this:

Are you re-adding the supports? I think it needs something to break up the texture.

Holy crap, I am using the same pics as reference for my map

It'll be set in an vault for nuclear waste.

I'm gonna post some screens when I'm back on my computer.

Posting this here hoping someone can help me out

 

I've modelled the warehouse construction and this is what it looks in-game.. 

notice some parts are very dark for some reason.

 

what I've tried so far:

 

split up the model into different parts - didn't help

cut out parts of the mesh that were intersecting some brushes - didn't help

tried moving around light origin - there was a little difference, but it was still very dark

different map compile options(static prop polys, static prop lighting) - basically I have no idea what I'm doing, it ended up being super bright.. not cool

tried to mess around with static mesh properties, disabling shadows, vertex lighting, no difference

 

pls halp!

Shit I'm so dumb, solved it right after I posted my problem.

 

basically add more geo if your prop looks like shit.

source uses vertex lighting, so you need vertices that can receive lighting information and my geometry had literally none, only a flat surface was exposed to lighting and well, it hardly received any.

 

at least that's how I understand it, maybe someone more experienced can enlighten us.

Quite surprised to see no posts about this gem yet that I ran across on Facepunch:

"ParallaxTest"

{

"$basetexture" "nicoreda/brickwall1_pa"

 

 

}

Basetexture have: RGB  + Alpha = Diffuse + Heightmap

According to that same thread, it seems that parallax-shader is unlit.
