I am making a DoD:s map.

[Dradz]

may want to take a look at dod_ludendorf (sp?) -- was based on the "bridge too far" bridge. In the map, the bridge has a level underneath the main bridge. It's been a relatively successful map based on a concept similar to yours.

Link?

Well anyways, I spent an hour or so detailing one building in my map (got tired of orangemapping) and it was also sort of a test. Now realize there is no debris models, and no displacement debris on the ground yet, so that will be all over in the final version. But here it is:

Eh, that is completely unrealistic. Those wooden struts aren't just "painted on". You don't live in Europe, do you

[Gorion]

and off course the building would collapse instant

[Sentura]

yeah that hole looks very unrealistic, but a building could have a hole like that and still not collapse. it's stabilized by corners not by faces. JP: it doesnt make sense that you would put a thin layer of wood out on a masoned house. if you use wood, then go wood all the way, if you use stone or concrete, use those instead... they don't mix like that

[⌐■_■]

Yeah maybe a (plain) plaster texture would fit better. And the structure could use some more beams.

[Rick_D]

or.. just add brush beams with damage

I don't think the hole looks real though - you should have a look at some actual damaged buildings maybe :x

[Skjalg]

I think it looks okay, except its a giant leap of faith having a huge hole in the wall, but electricity (and all the lamps) still work...

Great start tho

You're posting 2560x1600 images in Imageshack?

GREAT.

[JeanPaul]

Alright, I am confused, how would I go about making this as realistic as possible. Is it only bad mainly because of my texture choice? Or what should I do?

[MrBaracuda]

It fails at realism.

oh wait, it's dods anyway

[JeanPaul]

That doesnt help, at all. I am just building off what I see in Valve made maps, so tell me guys, how would I go about making this more realistic?

[skdr]

Where's the rubble.

[JeanPaul]

Where's the rubble.

Hooked on phonics is AWESOME

Now realize there is no debris models, and no displacement debris on the ground yet, so that will be all over in the final version.

Is not having the debris on the ground the only thing thats unrealistic about it?
