fKd,
those "organic" air ducts must really hit in r_speeds, nifty as they look.

Update: I am still rooting for your temp01, though

@FKD: Where can i download this map?

[Hipshot]

AFAIK its for the contest, thus should not be downloadable until after it has finished,,,

[fKd]

indeed, its just in screenshot mode right now.. gonna try do the whole thing with no beta's or anything.... if it misses the deadline.. i'll just remove the sponsorship textures and throw it at lvl... not that my maps get reviewed lol

[Buzzard]

Oh its a contest.. didnt know that .

[dONKEY]

Remember, we can delay the deadline should several mappers need more time.

As a former college lecturer, I should say here....extending deadlines is not a good idea as it only punishes the diligent students ;p

It does look very cool fKd...and I'm hopeful my map wont have the highest tris count now

OMG its a giant laz0r beam!

[Fjoggs]

Plastic fantastic!

Sock, I can truly say, that without a doubt, you don't make maps. You make art!

I never really thought it much of a punishment when deadlines were extended. It gave me time to double check my stuff and touch up work that I wasn't satisfied with.

The ones who got upset over an extension were just super uptight. They're not the only students in the class and some people might have circumstances that give them less time to complete a project than the ones who got the project done.

Don't get me wrong, deadlines are deadlines. But deadlines in the real world have been known to change (for better or worse) and it's just part of working with people. I feel that the ones who get upset should go do a self-study course or something.

Sock,
concerning laz0rz or beams of light... a trip down memory lane reminded me of AEsculpt:

• 

(Boy that was ages ago).

You will probably cause some weeping in template texture land, with your map... It looks simple, but still no one has created shapes in just that way. I like those v-shapes columns and the weapon pad is also very nifty.

SM, I meant my post kinda tongue in cheek

This sky looks like like Half-life 2 when the citadel is collapsing

Haha, I agree.

Then ignore me. I was tired and interpreting things differently last night.

@buzzard: whenever i get some time in the near future i'll try to package and upload it
@fkd: i like how bright the orange is
@sock: looks fjoggs-esque

I was inspired by mr hipshot's and mr sock's saturation/colorfulness levels, so i've attempted to make my textures less drab, i'm very happy with the preliminary results. is there a good way to get good saturation with lights when using gamma/compensate? i'd like my bluegreen lights to be more bluegreen. also made a cool jumppad

A little preview of my next map, which is participating in NoGhost Mapping competition. It's called "The Dreadful Place", and it's TDM map.

I recognize Tabun's decals... the crack and a smudge puddle

[obsidian]

The bluish metals by the jump pad looks really out of place.

Working on items, lighting, and bots for my new layout now, so it should be ready soon. As you can see, it's an urban map. Here's a shot:



Initially I was going to colorize them using the new AEcel shader, but I found this sweet Mighty Pete skybox and decided it worked best with the original colors. Will probably be daytime in the real map... although I do have some other crazy ideas in mind .

[AEon]

That skybox is really awesome... hard to believe those are actually AEcell textures... nifty. Hmm... I am not sure I've seen a map with that lighting atmosphere, may be a pity to change it to the more common daytime lighting. Keeping that lighting should make the map quite unique.

If you really need other textures for AEcell, post the requests in the AEcell thread, and I'll get off my butt and create them, if I can

Pat: reminds me of America's Army with the sunset
Shadow: the world needs more team arena texture utilization! looks good

Monkeying around with ArtRage, not really supposed to be much of anything, going to try to draw some skulls and such next

Been messing with lights for a few hours now. I should have added a healthier dose of ambient light beforehand, but by the time I realized it I had messed with so many values that I didn't feel like starting over. Oh well, it's only an alpha. Just feel like I wasted some time trying to get lighting smooth, and you can still clearly see that it's all point-lit. Night maps are hard!
