Modelling practice :]

Here is a layout of my next map named identity.

FFA?

Or maybe 1v1?

I'm trying to work around the q3 skybox bug. You can whack a huge cube in a skyportal, pull the UV coords in half a texel and turn off mipmapping for some decent results. I've also only using half a skybox, which is a nice saving on texture memory if the bottom half of the sky can't be seen from inside a map.

At low resolutions lines will still show up and aliasing becomes an issue, but at 800*600 or above it seems to be fine. The downside is that it's a pain in the ass, and you need a huge skyportal scale to keep parallax shift from being visible.

At this moment I can tell that it's intended to be played with cpma.
I'll upload beta version within the next a few weeks.
Maybe you can tell which type should it be.

@Black_Dog
Beautiful.
If only sun shines like that everyday.

Pimp release soon.
This was a cpma map at initial plan but turned out to be a CTF map.

Pure gameplay

You don't miter?

Not in this process...

New textures/skybox (a desaturated version of your "interstellar", hipshot) :]

@Hipshot: Mitering is more important for gameplay than graphics tbh. Now is the time

Post by **Hex** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 4:54 pm

Why is mitering important for gameplay? Counting tris still?

Post by **Hipshot** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 5:06 pm

Nah, "mittering" isn't that important, FPS is and mitterig good helps that. I won't mitter a devlayout that gives me ~500FPS, kinda. I'll ofc mitter a "real" map for the optimization.

I like the desaturaton and moire feel of that map Kaz =)

Isn't mitering making 45° edges instead of 90° ones?

This is hugely important for flow and combat.

This is hugely important for flow and combat.

It can be used in 2 contexts. In the technical sense, it's when you join two perpendicular brushes with 45° edges, leaving them flush and only one face from each brush exposed in the game world.

In the gameplay sense, it's making the edge of a corner passage/room corner angled to allow a greater view around a corner, or to remove a dead corner area.

God it's been long since I've pimped anything, so here I go.
2on2 cpma map, nearing beta. Playtested alot with real-people, plays good imo.

Going for a simple style this time, not crazy angled brushwork etc etc.
Lighting needs tweakage, especially the spotlights.

Post by **xfoo** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 2:19 am

That's looking great fjoggs, if you want / need a beta tester give me a shout.

Post by **Hipshot** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 4:58 am

Yea that looks great, Love the middle blue part there.

(And ofc I mitter the walls from dead edges, when I feel needed, but not the tris-opt-part right now).

Post by **wviperw** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 6:35 am

Looks good fjoggs but I'd get rid of that spotty lighting that is particularly noticeable in the first and third shot. It distracts from the rest of the scene because all I see is these big circles of light. I'd instead maybe go with a single vertical light at the bottom or top of that section of the wall.

Bwah fucking hell, your style has progressed leaps and bounds, that looks red hot.

Count me in for beta too, you're gonna need a pool of people to sustain 2v2

That looks really really sweet!
I love the colors and the architecture.
