Post #1
This is my first released version of a version of the Mass Effect's Presidium I made.
This is not meant to be an exact replica.
There are several Episode 2 foliage props in the map. That's all. Everything else is pakratted
THIS IS MY FIRST EVER MAP RELEASE!

Also a HUGE thanks to Aspen for the sexy textures you see before you! He made all the textures you see in there - not me! Cheers man!
I would appreciate any feedback on any bugs, glitches etc as I may fix it up and release a version two in the future.
Cheers for reading, and I hope you enjoy my first release!

Very nice work.
-
Throwing this up on my server right now (while I wait for a slow dude in Frozen Synapse). Great work, man.
-
Wow, very well done there buddy.
Thanks for sharing.
-
Was hoping it would be...shinier. and more glow-y.
-
It's actually very shiny once you get up-close. It's just hard to see in them small screenshots. :(
How do you mean more glow-y?
-
Wow, for your first map this is excellent. Very good representation of the council chamber. Maybe throw up some alternative lighting like yellow or red, but otherwise very good first attempt.
-
When you plan on the V2 of the map, if you have ME1, take screenshots and try to create some textures so its more similar to the Bioware version. also look at some other maps with advance features and stuff. Great looking map, posting here since the administrators of Gmod.org removed the other comment system. 4 out of 5 for the map.
-
I do indeed have ME1, but I didn't make any of these textures. Aspen made these textures. I tried ripping from the game but of course I suck at it and can't figure out how. That's why the textures arn't exact as you'd see in ME1.
I have some new ideas set up for V2 already, and I'm beginning work.
-
Why exactly is the entire map gray out? i've never played Masseffect 1.
Looks weird like that imo.
-
Does the original lack this much color? This map is so...grey.
-
I made textures very similar to the ME ones. they did not align properly to the cylindrical sections.
-
Dude, please, make more parts of the Citadel. This is extremely well done, especially for a first release.
-
Amazing brushwork. :buddy:
-
The original is actually quite dark in some areas,
There's an image of part of it. As you can see it''s quite dark and quite grayscaled besides the pink-leaved trees and some lights on the stairs.
-
Looks good, man. If you wanted to use textures from the game, you can just use umodel to extract them. Could bring a lot more color into the map. Besides that though, its spot on.
-
You might want to try creating a texture just of the circular areas with a large texture. Some map makers did this with some good results.Aspen posted:
I havent played Mass Effect 1, but I do have Mass Effect 2. The Citadel is a basic grey with a chrome finish to it ingame. Alot of things in Mass Effect Universe are shine to begin with. The Wards(Wings of the Citadel) are about the same with the exception of the massive and abundant holographic ads and signs. Its just how it translates into a map.bsp file for HL2. If a L4D2 map maker makes a Citadel campain, it might have the glow and bloom like the Bioware game.Nexus_Elite posted:

That really cool!!!
-
Just hit 200 downloads in less than 24 hours, holy shit! I'm quite proud of that. Just so you guys know I'm working on V2 as we speak!
-
Looks really cool, my criticism is to just work on the lighting. In Mass Effect it has alot more variance with a purple-ish ambient and yellowish spotlights.
-
^^ What he said.
The light flooding in from the main window was purplish because of the nebula or whatever the Citadel was in and the rest of the lights were yellowish. I think that would give the map a very nice atmosphere. Other than that, the map's very cool.
-
Oh wow... This is awesome. It seems our mutual friend Asy didn't lie when he told me you were an amazing mapper. A+ would download again.
-
Nice work!

'Grats, Lewy. Sixth most popular on gmod.org as I write this. Get on steam, you bastard
-
I hope one future version you try the full fountain and embassy area. I don't know how you would do it, but if you could make the curving of the ring there into a 3D skybox I bet it would look just awesome. The curve would probably make it anything but easy to map, but it would be awesome for it to have depth.
-
Saw this on garrysmod.org and couldn't help but check out the thread. It's looking fantastic, very much looking forward to seeing additional progress. :D
By the way, it looks like your Photobucket has exceeded its monthly bandwidth.
-
Cheers mate! I'm still working on Version 2 at the moment and I'm going to try and pull some textures from ME. Also fuck you Photobucket. Anyone know where I can host alot of images?
I really really want to do this, but I'm afraid I wouldn't have the skill. It'd be possible, I think. Should I attempt it?
Success!
-
I think you should attempt it to at least see how it turns out. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't.
-
Yes.
-
Right-o. I'll see what I can do.
-
I actually don't see any grey in that screenshot at all. There's a LOT of color going on there. Note that everything that would be grey is actually purple.The original is actually quite dark in some areas,

-
This is an awesome map. As said before, a large lack of color, not counting Episode 2 foilage. But it still looks great.
-
looks good but i guess it needs a little more work
-
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite map on the Citadel!
-
That's good to know, because I'm planning on trying to create the whole citadel now!
-
Shame that there's no phong on world brushes :( Would make it look just a tiny bit more awesome.
-
Just noticed how the platform you stand on while talking to the Council looks like a big penis.
But a good map so far.
I see plenty of blue in that image. A larger one would be better for reference though. I agree that your map is far too gray in color and needs some life to it. New textures would be the first big step towards that.The original is actually quite dark in some areas,

Any progress?

Same question.
