I'm really counting on fist_mlrs maps, and gezzers, AND K@ins map. Those look spectacular. My alpha map DM-INF-Kosovo needs some redoing, I'm going to try and add some THICK bush (like in RL) with an old blown up farm house. but I suck so god damn much at urban environments. hey, Keek, do you have a tut on using your rain engine?

OpFor: if you download the zip of KeekUT from my website, it comes with some documentation and a small example map.

Wow. Some of you guys have some great terrains. I'm wondering what your using to make them? I have used not so great terraedit. It makes UED do not so great things. I even had to scrap a map because I couldn't get passed the terrain part. Oh well, it sucked anyway.

terraedit all the way, baby... just gotta be careful with it, and not have too much in the way of extremely steep slops (i believe that's a major cause of bsp holes, AFAIK)...

anyways, i just noticed something in keek's screenies:
how the fuck did you get that smoothing on your terrain??? it almost looks like ye olde gouraud shading (ahh, those were the days... )

 

[keek]

When you don't have the money for the next gen unreal engine, you have to resort to dirty tricks:
I have covered the entire terrain with one single 256*256 texture, which has the shadow on it. I have to set my terrain to unlit: that sucks, but I think I can get away with it this time

LMAO @keek!

Here's a new shot of the map I'm busy with.
Do you like it?

One thing I have always said to mappers when displaying their maps to people, is to add the lighting.... It just helps soo much with the eye but looking cool tho dude! keep it up.

LOL... I was also wondering how the hell Keek did that terrain smoothing!

I was starting to suspect foul play or something! lol

 

[jaymian]

Haha

I like that shot Jaymain, reminds me of California! Looks good!


This is that map I have been tinkering with, the one Islington did those lights for... yeah yeah, another pretty map like bank and Gallery, it's all I know.
