Nossah

thanks for the feedback all. I'll get some more work done tomorrow. Spent most of my evening playing TF2 which i just bought. I'm such a nub at it though :-(

Still getting to know all the props and I'm trying out some lighting/shadow settings in this scene. Too bad that the shadow quality is falling off that fast at the moment (or at least for Radeon cards :/).
I'd love to compare this to a screenshot on another, better pc.

Good job Pipi, I always look forward to your screenshots.

Haha, yeah it's true, I've already fixed that.

I'll make a new texture of a wall tile and include a hand written note that reads : "Seker was here" ;)

Thanks guys.

The room with monitors has 1 omni, non shadow-casting for radiosity, 2 low range non shadow-casting omnis per light panels in the pillars (there are 3) along with 2 shadow-casting spot on high ranges.

The corridor with ramps to the RT has 3 radiosity omnis, and same for the 4 pillars on each end, plus 1 mid-range spotlight for each light prop on the girders.

Why do you ask?

pSyk0mAn

@Pipi: I think it looks great. The last picture/scene needs some snap though.

No no, it's better than that. That decal is actually in the map. You'll see it in-game. ;)

Kouji_San

Yeah. but the real question here is of course... Why was seeker there :P

Seker

Hehe Thanks Pipi =D

If you now get that map official, you are my man ;D

Reminds me of Black Mesa Source. xD Maybe you can add some barrels or break up the floor with different textures?

Man does that look awesome. Pipi, your stuff is so organic. I love it.

ssjyoda

I'm curious, what are you all using as light sources? All of the props are white lights, what about blue or green sources...

Align

Select a light entity and one of its properties is the colour.

Bright green light would be weird, most of their light props are widely in the blue spectrum, 2 or 3 are bright white and there's one orange spectrum light.

You can change the light spectrum visually by adding an omni really close to the light with high intensity and low range with the color desired. Then adjust your lightning in effect to that.

I made 2 really simple props in the orange and yellow spectrum (you can see one in my last posted picture)

ssjyoda

I agree green is odd, just came to mind. Though NS1 used a lot of green and red lighting for hive areas. Which props specifically are blue that you mention, I must be looking past them since all prop previews don't load for me. Generic yellow and white are easy, but accent colors... I don't see many options for a source.

while everyones maps look awesome I think they fail (or atleast not quite achieve)at ONE thing that UWE were aiming for in their level design.


and that was to make the maps look like they are part of bigger area than they really are - remember the refinery concept art? while the map itself might not be huge, it still feels huge from the surroundings - its not just some tech space dungeon

I luv it !!
Still a few remarks (another opinio never hurts): I would change the floor (full floor), and the right rock side... I wouldn't let the debries fall on the floor (or perhaps that's just me).

Keep up the good work !!

are you talking about room purpose to help tie them all together? Its kind of hard to do that without having a defined mapping guideline and gameplay details. Right now its just, make rooms that could be possibly used, and get used to the editor.

Sc0rps

I think he is talking about seeing areas of the map ( outside or other rooms) that can be seen but the player doesnot have access to. Giving the map the sense that it is huge when really its not.

Kouji_San

We don't have a skybox system yet... But inaccessible details like hallways and doors that are damage/broken/allround inaccessible could work for this purpose. That is part of what made NS1 maps awesome...

Align

There are the huge tower props, you can place those at a fair distance to get a decent effect?

ssjyoda

not sure I understand your question.. I didn't resize the props, I try and keep as close to original size always.

Pipi

Star Wars?
