In the 11th hour

<div class="IPBDescription">Ns_11th_hr</div>Must map... no time for sleep...

ChromeAngel · June 2002

This is ns_11th_hr, it has been under construction for 14 days. So far it's poorly lit and barely textured.

spooky hallway

ChromeAngel · June 2002

It's only a small map, so that first room from another angle...

Hmm, not bad. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

It looks a lot better than your previous work Chrome! (though I really dig various parts of the new ns_next)

Keep on improving!

ChromeAngel · June 2002

Thanks guys. I can do more with with this texture set than the bare metal I used for ns_next.

nice <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> did you ever play the eleventh hour? (or it's predecessor, the seventh guest?)

edit: hey, i just noticed, you're using a couple of my textures <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Really nice work Chromie.

Slycaster · June 2002

Looks really good Chrome, but the overuse of that walllab texture will crush you, try some new variations. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

ChromeAngel · June 2002

It's early days yet Cyanide, but these lab walls are getting a bit drab. You'll see more variations in the hive 'branches' when I get as far as reviewing them.

ChromeAngel · June 2002

MMmm more pics

ChromeAngel · June 2002

The Marine start, more details to go in here later

ChromeAngel · June 2002

Getting awy from those lab textures again

ChromeAngel · June 2002

First room in this batch from a marine perspective

Spyder_Monkey · June 2002

I love a room with high ceilings... "Watch for falling bobs". Nice shots, Chrome. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

This is looking really great, Chrome. Your final version of ns_next is superb, and I have every faith in you making this turn out just as good, or better.

ChromeAngel · July 2002

Another personnal first. I've hit the max texture memory limit. I'm having to get creative with my texture combos, sprites and particles systems to add detail now.

ChromeAngel · July 2002

Here are some pics of areas i'm struggling with. Firstly the other, big, conective room. I'm thinking of adding a huge plume of particle system smoke rising from the vent/console in the middle. The white dot to the left of the crosshair is a resource node.

ChromeAngel · July 2002

and this T-junction, set of hallways. I liked the cross-section, but drew some blanks when it can to texturing and lighting.

ChromeAngel · July 2002

That was from the hammer, this is how it looks in-game.

Spyder_Monkey · July 2002

All I can say is that it looks... dirty. Not a bad thing, don't get me wrong... it's just what stands out in my head. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Black_Wolf · July 2002

hmmm, i think a little more variety in your roofs and floors, they are a bit flat atm.

looking good.

ChromeAngel · July 2002

Time for updated pics. Firstly that hallway again, having been re-modelled. I couldn't get it to look right with the old architecture.

ChromeAngel · July 2002

The console room from the opposite end, now i've re-done the lighting a bit.

In response to Black Wolf, i'm slightly worried that having this many supports might make it awkward to navigate as a <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bob.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bob:'> , whilst not actually provinding much in the way of cover.

Battousaix · July 2002

now it looks better......... keep workin <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

ChromeAngel · July 2002

/me keeps workin

ChromeAngel · July 2002

Do the red and green lights clash here? I think I got away with it..

MaNtiS · July 2002

I think the lighting in that last picture looks great! I can tell there is going to be some nice battles there <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

-And the tornado-thing-a-ma-bob looks pretty damn cool, heh.

Cremator · July 2002

a bit blocky, perhaps a few more twists and turns. lighting looks pretty good, but just a tad dark.

Rob · July 2002

I think the yellow trim in that hallway pick way back stands out way way too much. It just jumps at you like "AH!"

Maybe something more greyish would be better? or maybe a faded, dark red?

In the 11th hour
