Military Bunker W.I.P.

I've posted a map a few pages ago, called "Military Storage Facility",
this is a improved version, with new architeture, new rooms, etc.
The purpose of this map is to look like Quake, or Doom.

I'm planning on secret areas, push a button to end the level, etc. all that old-school stuff.

Depends on what formats you can save it as- it has to be a format readable by something with a source smd exporter. (ie. XSI mod tool)

Sexy work, dude.

My only recommendations would include upping the number of polygons used in the wheels so the edges aren't as visible, and defining some more hard edges along the body, like in the grill and bumper areas, so that it isn't quite as amorphous looking. It's pretty amazing what results you can get with just a handful of polygons, especially if hard edges are involved (no smoothing necessary!).

Keep posting more! I need to get back in the habit of modeling; blasted university studies are getting in the way.

And yeah Splint I'm not going to worry about the edges until its fully textured, then I'll see how it looks, then tweek it more for the final render..

There got it all finished and UV Mapped.. Now the fun part; TEXTURING! (Seriously, texturing is the funnest part.)

Fair enough. Looks great thus far; I've always been a lousy texture artist (I always just leave my models that flat grey - yuck), so I'd be interested in seeing what you could accomplish in that regard.

He used point_spotlight instead of light_spot- it creates a spotlight effect instead of light.

Posted 14 years ago2010-05-17 07:22:35 UTC Post #281298

Use the point_spotlight for the glow, but disable the dynamic light in the flags and use a light_spot to actually light the world.

It's prettier, and there's no point and adding unnecessary slowdown (those dynamic lights are ridiculously taxing for how shitty they look).

Thanks, yea its coming together pretty smoothly. Im using models as foliage and some func_illusionaries. My only obstacle will be to find out how to make them illusionary because when you shoot them they bleed black stuff. Hmm actually I haven't experimented with counterstrike vs half life making them monster_generic. Someone has also mentioned making the map compile cyclers to become sprites. I'll have to see who did it and ask how.

Edit: Wow, you can make sprites a model in counterstrike cz. Awesome!!!!!, couldn't do it in hl.

Thanks a lot and nope. I don't really care to wait for such long compiles with source. And I like to compile a lot to test scale and everything. I really see making maps as architectural exercises so great graphics don't matter to me too much.

Good to see your starting up with source yourself. Guess you have a little more patience than me.

What size is the texture map? Looks like you could squeeze it into a rectangular map (512x1024, 1024x2048) instead of a square one to conserve texture memory, especially because it has several material layers.

Could you post a rendering of the high-poly version of the egg (if you used one to bake the normal map; it looks like it to me, at least)? Creating the little surface detail bits on high-poly models, like the little veins running through the egg, has always been difficult for me.

Some of you know from my shouts that I somewhat began to learn modelling(though it's kinda boring). I started, after a lot of tutorials(and most of them didn't caught roots in my mind...), to model something simple(I also modelled a bullet, but that was done step-by-step after a tutorial...so that doesn't count):

I sense it will be a fail :(.
