EDIT: lvlsht'd imgs being too big for q3w

Hands do appear too long, and the back off the watch strap around the time piece itself doesn't make much sense either....but then sia lah, just feeling picky, I actually really like all the new overdose stuff.

[Noruen]

Sure they put something weird into Obsidian's veins... And O'dium took it too... Yes... Very...

But that was very pleasant lost six minutes...

Mon(a)ster - Second screen looks promising, but I really, really don't want to know how much r_speeds does it have

[monaster]

@Noruen: Actually, the 2nd screenshot is the whole map: you see the small pit in the back? That's in fact the 1st picture.
The r_speeds are surprisingly good, I believe. Standing in the middle of the map, the tris range is between 2100 and 3700 when lokking around 360°; from the angle in the 2nd pic where you can see most of that map it's roughly 7000 tris.
Nevertheless it's just a small terrain test I did some weeks ago when I had some spare time, took me about an hour or so.
PS: If you enlarge the 1st shot, you'll see a small blue cross in the middle of that pit. This is the size of a normal player model, so that test map was mostly about size and -well- terrain.

The watch strap is based on a real life watch strap. The hands appear too long because you are viewing them out of context with a different FOV. Remember they are for first person, not for just watching in the game world as such. But anyway, yeah they will look odd when viewed with a fish eye lens. They look fine in the view, however, so thats all I was concerned about.

I guess its also down to another one of those styles. Some games have over the top (Gears, Unreal), some have realistic (Battlefield, MOH) and some have dwarf (COD, Quake 3 for example) so it all depends on what your used to seeing and like best as well.

Just a shot of my entry into the 20 brush contest at leveldesign.nl

[mrd]

Christ, that looks hella cool.

[fKd]

nice work phant, looks solid

[phantazm11]

Thanks guys. Clipping this one up was a lot of fun.

[corsair]

o noes, its a map!

Just me spamming for some feedback again. . .am I getting any better?

xD

@sir_vival Great detailing! At the 3rd screenshot the right pipe isn't well fitted. I guess it's a CTF map, right?

[Noruen]

An very early stage of my new map "Scrap Brain"...

[phantazm11]

That looks sweet, Noruen.

[obsidian]

I like the use of textures to dictate the creation of extra geometry rather than the other way around.

[Eraser]

Looks great!
Minor detail though, those "level 2" textures are mirrored

[Noruen]

Oh, thanks

Eraser - Yes, some details need to be changed, but it is only test of environment

[Anthem]

Looking really nice, Noruen.

[Eraser]

Wow nice. Looks a bit Borg like

I think it is looking pretty good - I'd make sure that those colored lights are sourced somehow, and I might tone down their saturation values a little. It seems like you're doing fkd-esque detailing by using actual geometry (not hatin' on fkd :P), you might want scale that back a little bit and look into getting the most "bang for your buck" out of texturing, first.

I'm a big fan of corsair's 20b contest entry - a lot of entries seemed to rely on quake3 gameplay being resilent enough to support a too-small and simple map rather than really try and get the most out of twenty brushes, but he's got an entire quality layout there.

style test:


ditching the green and brown sky in that map for partly cloudy blue. was getting sick of looking at it, and Hipshot's already done another sky quite a bit like it anyway.

It looks like the edges of your brushes are darkened - is that just on the concrete texture and you've aligned it that way, or are you using decals/alphamod/some other method? It's like reverse ambient occlusion... or something. I'd say this looks much better than the previous shots.

That's the first thing that came to my mind when looking at this too. Even if it's just a style test, it looks already impressive and very realistic in some way.
