OrnateBaboon Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 Posted a few of these in the WIP section, but did a bit more since. Managed to first pass the 3d skybox, a trailer interior, and another path. The map is still flat, and has a lot of "lines", but I will get to those later. The mesh trees are also pretty dark, so I will have to modify those at some point. I also posted another reference of things I will try and add. The hot air balloons will definitely be in since there area lot of air balloon shows in Lake Tahoe, plus they will make some good navigational markers. esspho, Freaky_Banana, the0rthopaedicsurgeon and 29 others 32 Quote
Quotingmc Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 Remeber seeing your screen shots of this a while back and liking the looks. Glad the map finally got it's own thread! OrnateBaboon 1 Quote

RA7 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 Oow i like it very much, will some trailers be breakable? That would be awesome !! OrnateBaboon 1 Quote
blackdog Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 Remember the early screens! Like has been mentioned, the underground doesn't seem to fit. Reminds me quite much of the Italian coastal map you made. Same textures/just a placeholder? Anyway for the rest is really cool, a novel theme! I can imagine the hurdles of what tends to be a flat map, it's something that prevented me to work on a map I've been thinking of, just can't see a way to create height variation OrnateBaboon, RA7 and Smileytopin 3 Quote

OrnateBaboon Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Posted December 13, 2016 Thank for comments guys! Sewers - yeah they are a bit out of place! Too Italian I think and not grungy enough. Main thing was to get the shape in, and basic idea. Will fix them later on once map has been given a first pass. RA7 - nah not breakable trailers, but I think some will have to look a bit broken so that there is some variety. Otherwise, they will look too similar. Also, thanks for reference image and Lanmaniax pimp (great to see it back!). blackdog - yeah the flatness and the fact that trailers are low has limited what can be done. I did find some raised trailer references, but they looked kind of ridiculous in the map (see below). In the end, I have to go with things like steps - (purple trailer and the swimming pool). In the end, the map has similar heights to maps like de_st_marc and dod_flash for example. Initially I was put off by the lack of height, so blocked out another map - de_hydro or something similar based in a dam, but made sure it had loads of height variation. However, I returned to the trailer map because I prefer the theme. TheOnlyDoubleF, SPY_JOHN, Fnugz and 4 others 7 Quote
Roald Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Can't you make use of litle elivated rocks for some height difference instead of a flat grass field? You could make nice use of ramps as pathways trough the rocky parts. idk how it will fit ur map tho.. OrnateBaboon and blackdog 2 Quote
grapen Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Pretty positive those houses on stilts are for areas that suffer from a lot of floods? If there were height difference they could probably make sense. I don't know enough about Nevada or the surrounding states to say. I like the mountains. Flat texture or mesh? slavikov4 and OrnateBaboon 2 Quote
blackdog Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Think you've taken the right choice @OrnateBaboon Industrial theme has been done over so many times. It's good to see something fresh. As per height variation yeah those raised trailers look a bit silly… and wouldn't help if they have those gaps underneath. Like Roald said, I wonder if you can manager to put some convincing natural elevation, rocks, a small hill… Anyway, is looking good. Hope it plays as well El Moroes, OrnateBaboon, RivFader and 1 other 4 Quote

vartaxe Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 somehow this map reminds me of my childhood Quote
OrnateBaboon Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Posted January 6, 2017 World smallest update! Added a beach for the CT spawn, and a hill for some elevation. Also did a first pass of another trailer (the blue one). esspho, Fnugz, Lizard and 29 others 32 Quote
