Are you using caulk between brushes and converting it all to detail? Could significantly improve performance with that alone.

Only the top faces are textured, and everything is detail. I honestly don't know what the hell vis is for, but I tried calculating vis with no optimisations, and it took around 8 hours (28976 seconds). That was fun... after that, I ran out of ram on the light stage. Q3map literally needed 28mb more memory to compile.

Some other time, some other place, I'll ask and learn about optimisations, but this is for SCREENSHOTS =D

I'm going to try and get a friend's remote compiler setup working, because he has some badass servers that could compile this map quite fast. 16 cores and endless ram.... one can dream.

EDIT: I don't know what you guys are talking about smoothing, but I can say that I only get 10fps when I hover above the map so every brush is rendered. Most of the rest of the map hovers between 60-100, with some trouble spots being around 40.

Smoothing/Phong shading are interchangeable terms. Using it and your terrain won't look so faceted.

Are you sure the entire terrain mesh is converted to detail brushes? It should take no more than a few seconds to compile the -vis stage if all you have is a structural box.

I've never gotten Phong shading working properly. I tried it on a few terrain maps, but nothing ever happened.

For a recent df movie project I am rebuilding some maps with other level designers from the community. Here is my attempt for one map:

before_1
after_1

before_editor
before_2
after_2

before_3
after_3

Nice, but before/after screenshots usually work best if you take screenshots in exactly the same location. In all honesty, I'm not seeing the relation between each before/after pair.

Looking good o'dium. What's the source of the red light though? The lamp above the doorway? Because that looks like it's emitting a much more yellowish light (and wouldn't cast light like that on the door itself).

That most certainly is more than just a little doodle, sir. Is that Q3? Pretty lightmaps make me happy.

@Obsidian, yes it's Q3. Was just playing with some stuff I learned from you guys. External lightmaps, textures set up with specular highlights painted aligned to the grid, light diffusing fog etc. It amazes me what can be done with idtech3 :)

Nice shadow detail there... interesting design, looks almost Steampunk-ish.

I think it looks more like the inside of a zeppelin. Needs a mooring tower.

I had no idea at all where I was going to be honest. I was thinking along the lines of an arboretum I think when I was messing about with the roof.
@^ghost, it just occurred to me, that's my textures from my (other) steampunk level, quake3 steam arena :)

Glass/mirrors tends to break radially and spiderweb or crack laterally.

I like the lighting and specular. What game is this for?

Yeah it looks kinda bullshitty, gotta fix it. Thanks :)
It's for urban terror, this is actually the updated fstech1 engine, so it supports VBO and normal mapping.

I've taken your advice and kinda fixed the mirror glass, replaced the geometry with a texture of broken glass.
Looks a bit better than before. Bench is in there just to test it and see how it looks like ingame.

What's all the red text on there by the way?

It's my phong editor texture for the rock material. Normally I put a text onto shader effected stuff, also e.g. adding an arrow for moving stuff such as the beams from the sfx folder.

I like both shots and this one.

About shot: Be sure to add some form of "bridging" to the TP, the two gaps in the floor between stairs and TP will not let bots navigate the "jumping".

The roundish edgy design is really nice, and the white, red, and orange contrast well against the pretty drab crete look. Hope you will be able to add more *rust* or some other strong texture (e.g. dark wood) to make the maps less depressingly drab. A more "happy" blue sunny skybox would also help. Designs are cool anyway. Hoping to get something to beta test soon :)... oh, please make this a Q3 DM map, CTF no likey and Quake Like no likey either :toothy:
