My new DM map

[Claw]

I agree with Bot! Ignore the other fags

Apart from the overscaled floors I liked the pics alot. And I don't think your ceilings are so bad, especially not those in this map. I mean it's not an office, more a teple or such, yes? And if've seen "textures" in palaces and temples *cough*churches*cough* so I don't see anything wrong with the ceiling's scale.

what about the last 2 pics?

The wall picture of the first looks odd, and the floor in the sacond looks overscaled again...

I especially liked the ceiling in the first... apart from that, I like the style. Nice bluish fire in the second pic too :tup:

I'm talking about the second set of pics here

In the first pic, there's a dark corner at the far side of the room by those 3 flames. It might just be the angle of the pic but it looks like you've just added 1 light in the middle of the room, it doesn't look like the light is actually coming from the flames.
Also, the light looks a little too pale me thinks. Maybe lowering the Saturation value for the light from the flames will make it look better.
That cloud texture on the ceiling looks good as a sort of portal effect, however if you mean it to look like a sky then you'd be better off doing a skybox

In the second pic, I think the fire looks good, but maybe you sould make the flames a little bigger. Either that or you make the room a little darker. A smaller radius would make a good contrast.
It looks a little empty, maybe just a little step or two would fill the space up a little and possibly also for the ceiling like the pic below.

the lights i added are at the flames, maybe its just the angle that ceiling does look good. what is that texture from?

 

[lucifix]

oh and about those blue flames, theres a total of 8 in that room. that might explain why its not real dark.........

if the man wont come to the forum...

lol....the darkmagic forums are part of the fusion forums. if you have a fusion account you should be able to post, but you cant use a beyondunreal one (ie this one lol). the good thing is that means you can have an avatar twice as big

anyway...the blue room, try just lowering the radius of the blue flame lights...

 

[Balton]

luci,
you are doing some nice stuff and some looks crap! I like some of the shapes you have and how you used them (on celeing thing looks cool, with the red stuff around).

but how about making such a wierd shaped portal?

like you run around fall into it and teleport to some sort of hell... would be cool... maybe for SP

 

[lucifix]

lmao, i wont deny that balty. i plan on doing some more work on it in the next little bit and i will consider all of youjr opinions

ah, young love

 

[lucifix]

how about the lighting now? also notice the ceiling/floor textures are scaled to 0.25

 

[lucifix]

another new one, notice that i changed the pillar textures........

 

[Bot_40]

The floor does look better, I thought the ceiling looked OK before though.
The pillars are improved too

 

[faderide]

Shots look nice. Like the dark atmosphere. Looking forward to checking it out.
I too am aiming for a mid Jan release of next map (#2)
The closer I get to completion....the more I realize I'm not so close. Somebody make it stop! Lol

 

[quitgrin1]

I really think you should work a bit on the lighting, and i suggest you too add more detail to the architecture (more pillars, some deco objects, etc). Also the skybox looks pretty lame. I would also suggest changing it too.

the skyboxes look lame? which one? does anyone else think so?

 

[lucifix]

did anyone notice that blue flame/torch laying on the ground? what does it look like?

looks ok. that room is beter lit than the pillar one certainly.

is there supposed to be light coming from that funky doom-esque red skybox? if you could make it look like there was a tiny bit of light coming in from the grill it would be good. not much mijnd you, the faintest bit of red stealing in....maybe....

 

[lucifix]

just thought i would let you guys know that im still working on it. progress is going about as fast as a 1000yo elephant in quicksand, BUT thats is somthing also to show a screenie or two.........

 

[lucifix]

notice that i changed the stairs to a ramp, more poly friendly. and btw the name of the map is DM-Khronos and it will come with a custom texture pack.....if that wasnt obvious
