Quake3World

Since the VIA contest is over, I decided to publish The Making Of Mash-Up Streets article.

I love these shots in your article...




... they just look so "right"... amazing mapping skills there!

I almost like the untextured shots more than those that are textured

Yeah, those shots look cell shaded or something. Not sure how you did it but it is cool.

Thanks. There's nothing hard about creating similar shots. It's just a geometry with fitted 128 x 128 gray filled texture with black outlines and one ambient light.

I uploaded more "blockout" screenshots, since you guys like them

HL2 style blockout with ambient and temp lights:

Blend between blockout and texturing:

There was another guy who asked about this "blockout" texture and since it was a custom, easy made texture I didn't save it, so I decided to create another one from scratch:

heh how odd. I use the orange texture with black outline on my maps too O.O
SAME EXACT ORANGE TOO!

Orange ftw :icon14: :icon14: :icon14: :icon14: :icon25:

I also have an orange/black halftone and a green/black halftone I use to mark out certain areas.

I decided not to gow ith HL2 style and use gray texture instead of orange.

never played or even had a whiff of HL2 before so Im not sure what you are talking about. heh =)

BUT I chose to use orange because its my favorite color so that's where how my particular texture was birthed from the wombs of my imagination :icon25:

Regardless, orange still kicks ass. :icon14: :icon25: :icon14:

Nice work.
