map concept pictures

[DreamScar]

Hey all. These were posted on the TS boards, but it has been said that HL1 would most likely not be able to handle it. Thus, I am posting these here (not mine, but my friend didn't want to have to register), in hopes that someone will create this lovely map.

could be fun, i like the art style

crayons and air brush

[DreamScar]

the point isn't to critique the art (he knows he doesn't paint landscapes very well, but he does great characters), but to discuss the possibility of this to be created...

[kleinluka]

maybe it should go in the level design forum then.

The jungle wouldn't work out, unless you build it as a flat wall with a jungle texture on it but dense vegetation as in models wouldn't work on such a scale.

I'm wondering how good someone can make a jungle with the hl2 engine

As for the other stuff, the terrain could be done with triangles and all the props could be modeled. But then again you have those big trees in the map and some of those small objects look pretty detailed...I would probably lay down the terain and build the building and then see how many polies I got to spare, but overall since the map looks rather small it's nothing impossible.

what are you waiting for, Frie?

if just hl2 got the MOH: PA shadow engine so the jungle would be no problem :megamon:

yeah, I was hesitant in putting it here, because it wasn't an actual map at this stage, and didn't want to get flamed for putting it here...thanks for moving it.

hl1 engine laffo

I've gone through enough pain with the limitations of that engine to make a another map for it after all that time

It looks like farcry something.

but cool anyway.

[kleinluka]

except far cry isnt set in a chinese temple garden.

i like the pics but they look very rushed but leave room for imagination. I like this asian theme too asian sytle textures = fun

Looks awfully limited in terms of connectivity - seems more like a big circle than anything. That said, TS seems to work without much choice in flow, so I guess its maybe not a concern.

Map looks feasible in the HL engine, particularly if you kept it small scale. For example, if that building was a small pagoda or something as opposed to a large hall. Would be difficult to make it look good and run well with that layout, but there are people around that could manage it I'm sure.

Could this become a sticky thread for all kinds of Level Design concept art?

Other forums have such threads too, and i think it`s a nice source of inspiration.

dunno but i'm pretty sure if you spend the right ammount of time on it a jungle map with source is verrrry doable
