[UT4] DM-Foundation

[Ubuska]

Hello! This is my first UT4 map. Right now I finished first geo pass and I feel like I need some comments/crits on this. I didn't place weapons/pickups yet, but I have basic understanding where I want to put what. As this is DM map, I try to make as many vertical variation/transitions as I can.

I'm experienced more in environmental side of things and have pretty solid understanding of look and fell of this map. It will be some kind of sci-fi facility with strong sunlight and clean look. But before art pass I want to play test it and iterate on BSP stage of course.

That being said, here's some screenshots:

Looking very promising! 

There's nothing more satisfying than pleasant greybox screenshots. Keep it up.

Thanks! 

Today I finished first version of this map. I haven't opportunity to playtest it in multiplayer mode, I only tested it alone. I figuring out my network settings so I can run dedicated server though. So I'll appreciate if some one give some feedback about geometry adjustment or weapon placement ideas.

After multiplayer and bot playtest I moving on to meshing. Here some very early wip screenshots.

Btw accent color (purple) is just placeholder.

Saw this over on polycount. It's looking good. I will give it a run through later today if I can.

I changed layout in v2 quite alot, if you want I can build v2 and share it.

Roughly half meshing done (sometimes it is really hard to match the collision), I also played with my uber material a little. For this level I'll go with material ID masking and a small library of material functions blended by it as well as overlaying all stuff with scratches and dirt by dirt mask. So I need only normal and AO to be unique for each asset.
Geometry of meshes is really rough right now.

75% meshing done. There are still a lot of holes, but I'll fill them eventually.
