@Hipshot, yep totally agree, but it would require me to sit down and make a mountain range from scratch and blend it into a proper sky cloud layer, that is at least a week or two of work. It certainly would look a lot better but I trying to finish this map soonly and move onto another project. (Probably be another engine as well)

@donkey, anthem, Glad you like it but trust me it is a lot better in motion. I keep forgetting it is a portal and walk up to it to check the detail and then get teleported away! doh :)

Update: Added dirt and glass bubble effect to outer edge of portal window.

Sock,
sorry about the nitpick, but after looking at the image a while, I just can't help "not" noticing it...

    Image

The texture 1) shows two distinct elements that *really* stand out when looking at the image. Less so for 2). Maybe you could cut up the brick wall somewhat offsetting the texture you are using in such a way to avoid showing the distinct repetition at such close proximity.

Obviously I'd never have noticed this, if the rest of the shot had not been jaw-dropping :toothy:

Very nice indeed

@Sock: Is your terrain brushwork or a model?

@PatH, so you like it then? :p
@AEon, I knew that stone texture would bother someone because it has very unique dark coloured details. I have been procrastinating over doing anything with the texture for some time so it is probably a good idea to fix it now. I have removed the dark sections so you should not see it in the new screenshots.
@^Ghost, thanks, glad you like it.
@seremtan, yeah the portal should feel fantasy/old style, plus the castle perched on a rock surrounded by mountains and mist is pretty much how I imagined the place to be.
@jal_, thanks :)
@Delirium, the view through the portal is a model, about 3K polys. It is a really an excessive thing to create considering it is only seen once in the whole level and took me a couple of days to setup right.

Random question:

Ghost, do you know what happened to the velocity micro forums?

/end randomness

Sock: I thoroughly enjoy your maps. It's quite amazing that there are people in this community who are capable of creating such an astonishing (and playable) work of art. I have always enjoyed the concepts behind your designs and the brilliant brushwork and models of your maps. I will definitely look forward to playing this map when it's released.

First post here :D
Anyway here's a WIP, it's a map for Defrag.



Not sure about the lighting, maybe should be less dark?

@sock: that must be the most epic map ever made for q3 :up:

I like the architecture and the mix of edges and rounded off patch ledges, the mini "water falls?" also look neat. Along with the vines.

I say use blend instead of add for the waterfalls.

Are the waterfalls those vertical bright stripes? That looks strange, imo.

Thanks for the support, much appreciated :) I hope you like puzzles (button mashing) and exploring because my latest map has buckets of it!

@Spray, at first I thought it was a pyramid structure because of the angle, can you post a screenshot from the POV? The lower part of the screenshot has uniform lighting, are you using minlight or ambient lighting?

@Kaz: I can't say for practicality of course, but the lower layer in your map would look great with some water in it, especially if you lowered the stain height on that texture to match a foot height water level (though I suppose the water level wouldn't always have to be that high if it were a sewer, so could even leave the texture as it is).

might have to make it brighter spray, knowing most defraggers, they will find something to complain about, and the noticeable one will the be lighting.

I like how the hard egde blending worked out, just need to sprinkle some small rocks on the floor for detail.

@AEon: glad you like it.

@Hipshot: sure going to try that!

@sock: im using minlight but yeah lower part is very dark and probably will need to change colour of the water to something else...



@Ghost: Will test making it brighter no problem.

That's because this was a test to see if it looks better, and forgot to change colour of water...
Anyway, before was a purple sky and it was cool with the orange water, but were lacking some details.

Replace the lava with water. Also, try a more vertical sun, will probably light up the lower parts much better. Are you compiling with -bounce? Might help as well.

I've uploaded our new title screen and menu music for you all to have a listen to. Big thanks go to our music composer Fearlord fo this. Now as of this post, YouTube's video is working but not in 720p/1080p yet, so while the musics perfectly fine to listen to the video is a little compressed, but that will be fine soon enough. Anyway, check it out below:

o'dium,
music makes you expect nothing less than an epic experience... once you start the game. Very nice.

Pardon the question, could an .mp3 of that music be made available?

Well its not just Enter, you can press fire, or jump, or Escape, Or pad buttons if the pad is selected... But it would be silly to put that on there :p

Glad you like the music. Heres the track in .mp3

LOL, me too. In fact I clicked it :P

The only thing I don't get is why do you make a HQ version of the video. It shows nothing than the music (which is very good) anyway.

Has nothing to do with Quake, it's a quick & dirty project I had do to for university.
Maybe I'll have some time now working on my map again :p

Well it's actually just a project I had to do at university.
More or less a 3D still life kind of thing. No sense, no reason,
no game, just a scene.
