Quake3World

What I like least about its decoration is not that it could use something extra, but the symetrical placement of the circular exchaust grates. (or perhaps the placement of it anyway).

My thoughts exactly. Those grates should perhaps be further up too.

Ill be honest i haven't done much in terms of suggestions from here yet but i'll look into it later on when i get back from work:





As always WIP, ignore that light thing on the floor in the one shot, and the terrai ignore 100%. And the inside of the building is temp too.

I like it with the white stripe of paint. There is one bit I am still wondering about - the purpose of the three rails on the front view.
To me, they look like actual rails, and not pipes due to them looking exactly like the rails you have on top (diameter, texture).

They are rails. I dunno, just added detail atm.

-barred up windows
-loading dock for 18 wheeler "double garage doors"
-damaged wall section
-graffiti

How that glass would have ever been fixed into that window confounds me.

That ladder shadows looks weird o.O

Yeah the shadows of the rungs are far too thick. Bizarre.

Looks like it's a point light source very close casting those shadows.

Actually, its just very high up, and very far away. Thats why it casts longer shadows.

Right. The effect just looks exaggerated then.

I cant/dont/wont believe it :P

Ahh shut your pie hole

Also working on a new program to make local specular and height maps look nicer (Ignore low FPS, its berserks rig lol in a test map )

Not bad, just watch out for the 'waxy' look that's creeping in.

i was gonna go for 'molded plastic', like if you go round the other side there's a load of milk tray chocs to eat

Its a crappy low res texture, so of course its going to look odd. Our ingame textures are 4x that res.

just some test, while learning sketchup. background and lighting tomorrow.

And nowwww.... for something completely different!



A few more WIP dev shots here.

Very nice looking.






... I need to upgrade my hardware.

I'm *only* using a AMD 2800+ (1.4ghz) with an ATI 9600XT (256) - 640x480 low I think

Beautiful! :]

Wow, that's really looking good! Is this SP or MP? So many of my favorite things...great looking rock, a little mist, a little lava, lots of cavernous open spaces and dropoffs and verticality and, and, and...



...sorry, man. It's your fault though. Here, lemme wipe that off.

/me rolls over and goes to sleep...

It's MP.

The lava is 'faked' atm (I'm wondering whether to hold on for the 1.3 PR which syncerror said *might* have lava and things like that in it), it's just a flat texture that's lit with an ambient light which has a nice 'side effect' of making the texture look like it's emiting light whilst allowing everything else to be lit properly.

The rock texture has changed slightly and has now got a 'blend' between two types. Also inadvertantly found an interesting way to reduce the obvious effects of tiling by using blended textures, which is neat for this type of stuff.

Still a lot of work to do though becasue the whole thing is modelled and cut into about 50 or so different sections.

Cool, looks UT-ish though, but that's not a bad thing I think.
