All over, mainly the muzzle. It's for Source so I really didn't bother keeping it low, but I've got to clean the scope up still.
Just checked, 3,095. Keep in mind I made a few random cuts to improve the smoothing, though.

also, <3 can't wait to see the thign when it's mostly done. should be quite a sight.
I see a narrows map.
yeah, besides the fact that it's about 4 times the size of narrows, if not more.

So I hurd you laik mudkipz.
and yes, the floor tile is only a temporary.

tbh. i'm slightly "meh", but looks hawtz
Well, that will all change once your in the finished map playing it with ingameness and lighting and pretties.

An other WIP
:-3
in before tentacle rape jokes.
looks cool :)
indeed cool but you need to apply much more time into it and get it really good looking. You've got the basic colour palette and shape down, now just tweak and fine detail it.

Getting a bit serious now. Most of the maps geometry will have unique geometry specific textures, as shown there. Basically, they're textures made for specific pieces of geometry, and can't really be used anywhere else. UT3 will be able to handle this fine, as it is what epic do in their own maps.
It all boils down to texture memory onscreen, but I'm fairly confident UE3 will be able to handle it.
I can hardly see the details on my moniter @_@
use some (strongish) lights in your renders please.
no, fix your freaking monitor
..But, halo-themed map in UE, don't tell me you're hoping to put in halo stuff too, copyright infringement much?
or use a different monitor :embarrassed:Quote:

No, just the map. It's not like the map has HALO written in large letters or anything. I'm not going to refer to it as forerunner. I mean, me and tweek are making all of it, so they can't get us for ripping. True it may be forerunner styled, but really, Forerunner styled textures could almost be made by accident. It's all just angular lines.Quote:

looks nice :)
idk, I'm not sure if I like it- it seems like arbitrary subdivisions of a flat wall. I like forerunner better when it has more flow and purpose to it. In the end when you look at it head on, it just looks like a flat wall with intricate etchings on it. Sure the etchings are nice, but it's still just a flat wall.
But the textures are very nice, Dane. That's what you're good at. =)
That made me giggleQuote:

Rofl, its far from a flat wall. Each section of those patterns is jutting out or inwards from all the other ones.Quote:

It's okay. Not great, but okay.

done!
but Dano what I mean is, ok, so it's a wall with random extrusions sticking out of it. But extrusions by themselves, while better than literally flat, are still "flat" because looking at it straight on, with all those pattern intricacies, it might as well be flat. It needs a pillar going up through it, or molding going around some edges, or something with some semblance of purpose rather than purely random extrusions.
thats what the textures are for......

Also fatso, quit being biased towards me. I'm not having another repeat of that faggot Pred1ator.
how is he being biased?
He posts that my work is meh or ok - not great nearly everytime I post something, and rarely replies to other peoples work in the same way. I think it's because of the whole "your CMT therefore your evil" thing from halomaps.org forums. He never expands on why. It's just "meh".
so?
he's aloud to be underwelmed.
everyone else loves it so why does it matter?
well dano, he's a noob, and i don't care about noob opinions.
i know whose opinions matter, and those are the opinions i listen to.
people like fatso, i just ignore, and talk to snaf on aim about how they make me lol about their noobiness.
nobody has to like it, as long as me and dano like it.
that's not very constructive either, is it?Quote:

you'll never be able to please everyone.
learn to live with that and you'll do alot better not just at texturing, but at life.
Quick drawing I did in art - it's a hand drawing a hand erasing the other hand, I'll be doing a neater one at a later point.

Would be awesome to have halos weapons replace UT3's ones for the map but give them the same firing effects as the normal weapons. That way the UT crowd won't not want to play it, and the halo crowd might have an incentive to want to play and adjust to UT and it's twitchy fast paced blood bath gameplay, but enjoy at least seeming like your still on "intallation XX".
UT's gameplay sucks Dano, admit it.
I know you aren't dissing Republic Commando.Quote:

UT's gameplay never appealed to me. I'm not one for arcadey games, nor incredibly fast ones (I make exceptions for some like CS and DoD largely because they're alright for screwing around on)... and I've always been terrible at the UT series. I rarely enjoy games where I can't get so much as a single kill, and even though I might be terrible at CS, I'm worse at UT.
Your skins, on the other hand, I am loving.
same goes for me really, i hate the game itself, because i can't even get a single kill most of the time. i played UT2k4 for a while, and got noticably better once i adapted, but still, it never really appealed to me.Quote:

the real reason i want UT3 though, is to make maps for it.
UT has an immense audience, and showing off your best work to a large audience, isn't that what every artist wants?
also, sangri'la
http://xs120.xs.to/xs120/07434/UT3.jpg
not my work, this is straight from UT. i just rendered it.
just for self-education purposes
So does UT3 use BSPs or some other structure, and how much of that is part of the bsp/other and how much is scenery type stuff?
And I love Republic Commando. Why, does that use the unreal engine? Gears of War was also based on the unreal engine, wasn't it? But it doesn't matter. The engine fucking rocks, it's just the game they made with it, UT. It's just... ugh.
And that's only some half-textured geometry... :oQuote:

to get this, you need to lose the idea of "level geometry" and "scenery"
UT has neither.
im basing this purely off what i learned off this piece of scene, and a few things Dano told me.
UT works wtth Brushes for basic geometry, yes. but in the end, you'll propable maybe see 5% of all the brushes you make.
that image, all you see are things called "static meshes" you can compare them to scenery in halo, or to clothes on a skeleton.
exept for the most back-placed walls and floors. those are "terrain brushes" and normal brushes you use for walls etc. the flesh on a skeleton.
walls are usually optimised, and purely flat. flat as in Hang 'em high flat. they represent the most basic geometry, just flat walls, roofs and floors.
you then dress them up with static meshes. these things are all instanced, and only rendered when they're in view, this is rediculously fucking eficcient from what i've seen.
also, my brain is on the verge of shutting down because it's late, so cba going deeper. this is what i figured out so far though.
^ yep, pretty much correct.
The sides of the short wall and the floor textures are kinda meh, but everything else looks fine. Good work.Quote:
Originally Posted by Ð4ÑØ *

The actual floor of the bridge will be alpha blended with a very large tile sorta thing and dirt/moss, seeing as the map is going to be bridging a large rainforest ravine thing.
The sides of the short walls, I dunno I like that texture, but It doesn't work well there. Still testing alot of places to see what looks good where.

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2...gress10gp4.jpg
It looks much better here :D
Red base tele room btw.
how many megapixels worth of texture do you have for that map already? How much can ut3 take?
alot, considering most of their chacaters have 2x 2048 maps.
tbqh, it's starting to look too crowded.
awesome textures, but a few more areas with less detail (like what you've done on the wall) would go a long way.
Holy shit Dane, I can't even recognise the map now as that load of off-white half-rendering geometry Tweek and I kept killing each other on... :awesome:
I feel the exact opposite way. I can only rarely get kills in non-arcade styled FPS games while I can own in games like UT games and Quake 3. I love playing Quake 3 with the lighting speed server mods. Its purely epic.Quote:

Look, I'll give UT a great thumbs-up for the engine, and the graphics, and all that other shit, except the gameplay. I personally just don't find it to be the least bit fun. It's way to ADHD. It has absolutely no subtlety to it.
Here, how bout a comparison- Halo is like Aliens, while UT is more like AVP. I'm not just speaking about a complete lack of plot, I'm talking about the nuances of gameplay- Halo has more to it, and makes it less obvious. UT just bashes you over the head with ACTION ACTION ACTION, but non-stop action just doesn't work for me without something to contrast it against. You can't just make your entire website brilliant stunning blue; you have to add contrast with various hues and allow some parts to be toned down so other parts actually have something to stand out against. And you can't just make your game all complete non stop in-your-face omg explosions action, no matter how cool each individual second of it may be, because then there's nothing to contrast that action against.
[ot]
And while we're at it, you can't just make a movie that goes "ok, here we have an obligatory 5 minutes of plot setup and now we have ACTION followed by ACTION followed by SPECIAL EFFECTS followed by MORE ACTION followed by THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION EVAR followed by AWESOME CONCLUSION SPECIAL EFFECTS followed by OMG STYLIZED CREDITS!"
Ok, so there have been worse movies, but for various reasons including but not limited to 1) it revisits two of my favorite movies ever 2) it takes itself seriously 3) it was well received and 4) it has absolutely no plot whatsoever, I am now declaring that AVP is one of the shittiest movies I have ever seen.
A case in point: in a movie so about special effects, it's completely shameful that I found the aliens in Aliens much more lifelike, and Aliens was made before I was born.

Not only was I not judging it that wasn't a bash on Republic Commando in the first place :rolleyes:Quote:
