Yep. As voodoochopsticks said, it was a freak occurance, but the shot is indeed real/non-photoshopped.
Wow I completely missed those posts above, lol. Are there more shots of it anywhere?

And a butt load of screenshots
The first three are of a CTF map that is in a very early stage of development:

And the next four are of a tourney map. There's no detail (mostly decals) yet. Mainly just hull and lighting.

Looking good you guys.
Geit: How many maps are you working on at the same time now, something like 17?

Geit that would look good if it wasn't for that rock texture. Can you not ditch it for a better one?

cha0s >> Nice choose of colors. Looks very promising.
Geit >> the rock texture looks fine for me. However the lighting could be better - more colors and/or more contrast could make it great.

I'll tone the lighting down a bit then
Although the lighting is still far from finished.
And erm, d3engine hell?

Fjoggs: Wow, that is quite sekseh! I thought it was Q4 at first. From looking at the screenshots, the only thing I'd definitely change would be the foilage up top in the first screenshot. It doesn't look so good.

Foo, from the screens I'd lose the red and blue...or at least make them a lot more subtle. Maybe instead of red and blue use yellow and/or whites? I think it'll look better with the metal textures you have.

The saturation is way too strong atm.
I've got some nice electric blue stuff to add in which'll replace the existing blue, and the reds will become a lot less pronounced when I get some natural light in there and tone it down.
Next beta will be re-testing the layout now I've switched a load of stuff around and added basic detail crap in.

Change the red into a warm orange tone and I'll be fine.
I'm looking forward to check the new version out. I like the layout of the alpha.

LDR vs HDR sky. My new env map.

LDR looks better. HDR is washing way too many of the details.

Agree, prefer LDR as well. Any HDR should probably be left to game engines to keep things consistent i.e. dynamic like in Half-Life 2.

Anyway, when I first looked at the sky, the LDR of course was right for me alsom, since you see more, but in the other hand, there is a more warm feeling with the HDR that makes me like it more. It's really a taste thing, because, I don't need the HDR (in game) to have the sky like that, I could just beef the exposuer in HDRShop (not the same think I know, still)
HDR, before BSPzipped in Source, uses alot of space. Actually I HDR developed level uses alot more MB.
