otherwise looking superb !

blueman · September 2003

cant wait to play it, good work.

DarkATi · September 2003

2nd and 7th Pics have light textures that bend around a brush. I don't personally care for this effect, but if that's what you were going for and wanted then keep up the good work. Love the rest of it.

Very nice work. I like the lighting and especially love the corridors. The architecture is great but could use some more details. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

dude, that is badass. I still dont care for the ceiling shape in the last 2 pics, but on the whole it looks awesome.

Clashen · September 2003

I think you have read my comments on the earlyer pics on LD and this looks good as usual <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I've been a fan of sanitarus since I saw the original pictures. Marcos, this map has <i>style</i>, but it seems that you've listened to the critics from before. Personally, I liked the old, over the top architecture and hypercontrasted lighting over this newer, duller stuff.

If this is what you think is best, then go ahead. I just prefer the older look.

By the way, I'm not saying this stuff isn't good-it's still awesome and stylish by me- I'm just saying that the older style appealed more to me (and less to some other people).

Lovely architechture, nice lighting. In my opinion the only thing that lets it down is the wall_lab set. It should be retiring soon, been around since the beginning of NS. Over used, try new texture schemes, the more interesteing the better (for example try wall_black with the green set tanith used to have)

Windelkron · September 2003

AWESOME

except for the light in the second picture. Glass doesn't really bend that way.
This will require more brushes or models, but try to make that light so that the zigzagged fixture remains, but the lightbulb itself is straight.
(left is before, right is after)

I really like pics 6 and 7. The light in pic 2 is a tad oversized though... looks like it's gonna jump out and eat a player.

marcos · September 2003

Thanks for all this great feedback!
DarkATi: True. I will change things in pic 2, but the other lamps will stay.. You really dont notice them that much when running past them, and as for me, I think they fit in :O
Kage: Hehe thanks! Well I personaly liked the high contrast myself.. But it turned out to be a white/black, on/off, light/darkness thing. If I was to lit up a big room, the room had allmost to be filled with lights :/ But theres still contrast in the lighting tho <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
Thursday-: This part is a modern marine spaceship, so I thought the lab_wall set would fit best. But pls notice: This is 1/3 of the map, and 1 of 3 themes. There will be 2 other "areas" that contains diffrent lighting, textures, arcitecture and setting.

Ollj · September 2003

great hallway shapes.

NerdIII · September 2003

Odd shapes. Where are the good ol' 45° everyone uses? But, it IS looking interesting. Keep on it. My opinion about high contrast is that it makes maps look better but it sacrifies the gameplay when you can't see anything around you. And there are a lot of maps with really dark areas where a marine and a skulk can fight for a minute because they just don't see each other. Blending white light with env_gamma and a dark sourrounding are the worst. You only see the damn light and your eyes begin to adapt to it. Then you look away and everything is pitch black to you. Same with the waypoint sprites. On high env_gamma settings and in dark rooms you can't see through them, because they are overbright. From the picures it looks like you are already adding a lot of lights to counter act all of this. Keep them in! (Or don't use that much contrast. I wouldn't mind a friendly light level among all those depressing dark ones <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> )

marcos · September 2003

hehe Mazl~~ you are the speedy gonzales mapper, im not :/~ pls
Nerd: Yeah, thats the problem of high contast lightning. Im adding as much light as I can so it's playble. I know how damn annoying it is with thoose pitch black areas.

Marine Area Done!
