Post #241
Well, this is the first time I have this year, and I randomly got some mapping inspiration thanks to Jukka K, so...
-
-
compiled the props but those light seams are killing meee
edit
nevermind, thanks MSAA!
-
Aren't the light seams from AA?
-
Kinda reminds me of Rage, not sure why
-
looks nice, but the proportions look off, like each floor is as high as the door.What I have done in the last 15 minutes.
-
You're right. I'll fix that right away.
-
yes but if i disable AA it will look like poop
-
Sadly, this is true.
More shit:
I'm done for the night. Will continue tomorrow.
-
whoa, how did you get those soft shadows? looks incredibleAdd me to the contestant list, though I'd give a shot for this one. Ironically I've always despised dev textured maps and still this is the first contest I'm entering.
Anyway content:
-
Probably a small amount of sun spread.
-
less than an hours worth of goofing off.
I plan to redo the design a bit and make it more of the modern style.
(I plan to keep this too)
-
Water glass?

Refracting glass :V Can't seem to get the desired effect I'm looking for. The glass is too smooth for my taste. The other green glass was good. It just did not fit my style. I would make my own normals, but I don't have photoshop and Gimp requires you to install all this Linux Crap. :V
Edited:
Those don't look like dev textures :VSadly, this is true.

-
they are dev textures
dev_reflectivity_xb
-
Pink and black?
-
Um the X means a variable....
-
I know that. There is NOT a black dev texture or pink no matter what the reflectivity # was
-
There's no pink in his screenshot, it's from the lighting.

The Facepunch Mapping Contest: Sexy Lighting
Seriously, how do all of you make such awesome lighting like that? Especially Jukka's, I'm such a sucker when it comes to that kind of architecture, especially with games like Mirror's Edge.
I'm liking the fact that it seems there's a lot of activeness in this contest, unlike the previous one, which ended with only one final entry. Good luck everyone!
-
nevermind, figured it out
heck yeah
-
I love dev textures and really wanted to enter this... but I am horrible with lighting (especially compared to some of the users here.)
-
It just takes practice. That's all.
-
Custom Skyboxes.
Yay or Nay?
-
That's fine.
-
I don't think it would be a problem at all.
-
Okay, how about the White/light textures?
Since they're pretty much just white textures.
-
Day 2:
-
Turns out the doorway on the shop was too low, so i turned it into a vent instead.
Because a couple of people have commented on my bridge, here it is with new lighting and a small amount of work on lightmaps:
-
I'm not even going to bother quoting the OP or the amount of people that have asked questions similar to this. Read the OP, it explains the answer.
-
oh, COME, ON!
i cant rate enough kings and pallets in this thread.
and with all these gold member pros around, we are getting obliterated.
-
-
I'm so in, Starting today...
-
i'm
in
-
Oh good god...
-
Bleh, Need to dive into more art books and see what works.
Tips from ME yay
-To get the fancy lighting these guys had, you set the lightmaps down to 4 or so, and have the sun come in at an angle that is NOT perpendicular to the geometry. It will add a nice lighting effect. Also, to cast interesting shadows, you would have complicated geometry to let some light get through but allow a lot of it to be blocked.
-Space: A good way to catch interest, is to make the area interesting. Depending on how and where you place it. a regular block can make a room seem interesting. You need to have a balance. Not too full, but not too empty.
-Floors are all right left empty, but the walls need clutter on them to make them interesting.If you take a look at both of those guy's screenshots, the floors are somewhat barren while the walls are cluttered.
-color: Color can set the mood of the place.
Blue: makes the area feel ominous
Red: makes the area feel under attack/ red alert.
Green: a calming color if used right. (trees)
Yellow: A calm color.
Orange: can emphasize pretty and calmness or destruction.
-Shading: A good way to lead the eye to something.
-You can use shading by making something of importance, say put it under a white light and everything else is dark, emphasized in the map or level
Hope these help :) (Now I need to follow them)
-
Why I'm still not on the contestant list?
-
So the rest of us will have a chance to win :3
-
sign me up for sure. (Half of my maps never get any farther than dev textures
)
-
Same, it's like the perfect opportunity to half finish a map, and actually be finished...sign me up for sure. (Half of my maps never get any farther than dev textures)
-
One of a few things I am working on, I'd also like a nice sexy as fuck glass texture if anybody can recommend one?
