Sneak Preview Created 18 years ago2006-02-07 22:48:21 UTC by Playbus

Well, I've been working on Day 14 recently. I didn't want to give anything away before it was completely finished, but I'm afraid I've just got too excited.

I really feel I've taken a step forward in mapping with this one.

Here are some screenshots of my latest work so far.

What do you think?

I'm pleased with it

Ah, looking interesting. Nice stuff. Supposed to be a Greek temple or such?

Only thing I'd say is that the floor in shot 3 looks too flat, while the ceilings look very natural with those height and shape differences. Perhaps upping some floor parts and putting small steps between the different levels, just a small height difference.
Perhaps you should also work on those stone textures somewhat, they get repetetive after a while with those yellowish shades. Nothing too worse, but could get improved on.
Oh, and in shot 4, I'd say putting some lighting on that large symbol on the wall would give a nice effect rather than putting in light beams from the top only.

Keep it up man.

Yeah not too long ago I realised good maps vary in details and colours so the player isn't bored seeing the same stuff.

Back to the map: Much better than Day 13 for sure and I like the use of the brush tool on those arches and supports.

Lighting suits the textures well but have some indoors with a nice blue because my de_boshi comprised of the same crap and it wasn't very nice to look at...Although the yellow and green / blue lights made it look interesting.

Awsome work!

Keep it up man.

Thanks for your comments. I still plan many weeks more work on the map, so hopefully it'll end up decently polished.

And it has a nice skybox now too.....it's not in any of the pics as I'm currently working on it. I'll take some more pics in a few days.

oh lala, custom skybox.

I love the shit between the poles!
Great architecture!

Yeah reminds me of that DM_cloudcity map on Snarkpit...That has insane detail.

are you aware that day 13 was featured in UK PCgamer?

I did know about it appearing on some magazine coverdisc, but I didn't send it to them, and I didn't see the CD or what was written about the map. If anyone knows....let me know please! I'm pleased it spread so far though. I still get email about it. Thats really what made me start this.

PS Captain P - I've taken your advice about the light on the big symbol - I'm compiling the first test of it right now, so if it looks good I'll post a screenie shortly.
