Screenshots

@sock: I think you should change the name of your map. I'm going to suggest that you go with "Map on the Edge of Awesomeness" to stick with the Harlan Ellison theme.
Those props rock btw. Now that you've shown screenshots with the books, I can't imagine the map without them.

@Donkey: Great work! The lighting in that first shot is terrific.

I've been working on this for a couple hours, it's a nightclub for my gf's marketing project, not taking it too seriously

@Pat Howard: Now THATS! some nice detail in a q3 engine. Is it possible to have the same detail in a q3 map as say in a hl2 map?.

[Fjoggs]

I'm alive.

[Pat Howard]

Awesome Fjoggs! The ceiling is definitely the coolest part, but sadly no one ever looks up at the ceiling. Spread that tubage down to the walls around the floors! I really like the theme so far.

[obsidian]

Dude, that's tooootally tuuubular! [/valleytalk]

[nitin77]

donkey,

that is overly dark on my monitor, is it the screenshots or is the map like that?

fjoggs,

I dont believe you are alive till you release something

[dONKEY]

@ Fjoggs, you better finish this one....you are the greatest mapper alive that doesn't finish nearly enough!!!!

I love that one Fjoggs, clean and bright. Fresh like a Spring day.

I had some spare time at the weekend for some speed mapping and I wanted to test out some different lighting styles and create better looking decals. The current decals I use are fine for grim but I want to place stuff that has shadows and solid colours. So I created a cog decal which animates using 3 shader layers. Works fine with player shadows and bullet marks as well, oh also had to create some brushwork to go around it as well!

The other experiment I wanted in this doodle map was to give the illusion that some part of the map is joined to the skybox, so I created a laser light model which is syn'd to a portal skybox. Multiple cloud layers in the sky, a bit heavy on shaders but looks amazing, especially as it acts a beacon across the whole map. The angle of the beam looks good from other locations but it also feels strange because you can see the beam is connected to the sky, probably need to play around with the portal sky scale so it does not move so much, oh also some wacky brushwork to go around the platform.

Woha... almost looks like AEcell re-colored textures. Though I am guessing you used evillair's originals and redid them?

Interesting to see the template texture set used in this way. Nifty respawn pad.

[obsidian]

Dude... that looks amazing (love the colour scheme). Though, I hope you're still working on MOTEOF.

[Silicone_Milk]

goddamn too much sexy for one page.

[sock]

@Aeon, I did my own higher resolution versions. I wanted all the black line to be sharper at higher resolutions, (1600x1200) and the texture design for the basic panels are easy to re-create.
@Obsidian, Moteof is still going, I just wanted to experiment with something different for a little while. Been working on forever map for forever and needed a colour/style break.
@Silicone_Milk, Thanks, I think that was directed at me!

[nitin77]

jesus christ, that is a speedmap?

I love the colour scheme and lighting.

[Pat Howard]

@sock, Given your last few maps, I would've never expected something like this from you, but man, it is awesome. Any chance of you releasing a .map or a .bsp? I don't care if it's just that room, I really want to walk around in this place!

[jal_]

It's really sexy indeed

"The Lion's Den"

[Hipshot]

I don't get it... what is this?

It's a night club. He said it a couple of pages ago.

[Buzzard]

@Kaz: Neat!, can you upload it?.

[Anthem]

For some reason this reminds me of tabq1dm5.

It's looking great! Remember, we can delay the deadline should several mappers need more time.
