Ns_glory >> Teaser Thread #01

Thaldarin

<div class="IPBDescription">Level Screenshots - For The Weekend</div> Well I decided that this weekend I'll be posting quite a few teaser screenshots of glory, as I got quite alot of nice feedback on my layout. So to start the thread off will be the final layout, a work in progress screenshot of one part of the marine spawn, and an in hammer wireframe view. Here Goes...

Thaldarin

Known as one half of the marine spawn.

Last shot for now, of course I will try to get some up between 6PM and 10PM GMT

The_Real_Quasar

Doesn't look all that bad! With dedication, this should turn out very fun! Keep at it.

Legionnaired

That's probably the best use of monochromatic lighting I've seen yet, nice work!

Soylent_green

Those jagged lighting streaks across the wall to the left are ugly, a full compile with -extra might get rid of them without any other changes though...

Looks nice.

Lonix

Just got a feeling of nostaglia....

Reminds me of ns_nothing with the lighting, tho it does look good....cant wait for a few more teaser screenies <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

-extra makes the map and especially that area so bland.

As for the next thing, you want screenshots? Ok, I got two quick ones, first showing off one exit from marine spawn, other showing the Glory logo.

Thaldarin

Logo, and just off to the right of the last screenshot. BTW I haven't applied gamma to any of these screenshots to date.

Wurmspawn

i like the lighting in the marine spawn, although i think it may look good with even more contrast.
you could even try adding some convexity (word?) to the wall in between, and flanking the doors to change both los and how the white slashes of light fall (as 3d rather than 2d)

gah, i apologize for obscurely written stuff...late night

Thaldarin

Other half of marine spawn, commander chair to left.

Legionnaired

Those last few shots are way too dark, unless you just didn't compensate for your env_gamma in photoshop.

If you're using bounce 1 lighting, you can use white light pretty much however you want to, and it won't take anything away, as long as it doesn't wash out the color.

From what I've seen of the brushwork though, very nice work.

Kage

Those shots look fine to me, as far as how bright they are. Actually I'd like to see a bit more contrast from light to dark, but it may just be that these ones are close to the Marine Start.

watch_me_die

Just a quick question... what is the logo meant to be?

Looks like an insane clown to me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Thaldarin

The texture has "glyph" in its name so i guess its a hyroglyph, but I've kind of thought of it as a mark of respect from the space station surviving one kharaa attack to date.

The_Real_Quasar

I think it came with some kinda texture pack, very nice usage of it though! I could never find somewhere to use it.

Thaldarin

Well heres a few more screenshots, I added some suggested white light to the marine spawn. Plus on the other half I tweaked the lighting as it was too sharp for some peoples eyes.

Thaldarin

Second pic of white light in marine spawn. Hopefully the final lighting for the marine spawn too.
