Nevermind. All I was trying to say was this:
But I can be messier/faster/scribblier and then size it down and it looks "right". This is not true, it only makes your mistakes less apparent.
And that I used the technique/suggested it. Either way, its done and over with, and I can fix this little argument in a few seconds.
That teaches nothing though. You don't better yourself. You plateau.
Also, Sunny, WOW. It looks like theres some sort of motion blurr effect happening?
It looks ACE.
yea but super sunny your map runs slow as hell due to all that high-res stuff (which is nice to look at might i add), but won't the dropping framerate have an effect on multiplayer?
Did you intend Valkyre to be a jaw-drop gorgeous map to look at, or a fun map to play?
Or otherwise, did you intend the level to be a benchmark for how far the community has come and a foothold to where we could push the engine in the future (hopefully the near future)?
I keep repeating this, but I'll explain it again.Quote:

It has been my project to make it look as best as possible. I'm done with that. Now I'm working on design/layout. The screenshot shown in this thread is not intended to be something about the map, it's intended to be something about Halo itself. The map runs much faster than before, simply because I portalled it.
Now, obviously, it's a bad idea to work on the looks of a map first. The reason I did that was to set a standard on how a map should, graphically, look in Halo. I didn't just create shaders, I worked on optimizing specifically how shaders can work with Halo to make a map look better, for all future projects by me and anyone else who would like to learn how to use them.
The layout I can worry completely about now. It's my intention to make it as fun and playable as possible.
Because of the disparity between the old game development standards for consoles and the "limitless" bounds of PC titles. The consoles needed small textures because of their hardware limitations while the PCs could easily be expanded with the release of new hardware before the year was out. Compared to the 64x64 textures used in consoles (which were perfectly fine in the 480i displays of consoles of the time), the 256x256 textures used for computers running games at resolutions at least 800x600 were 16 times the size.Quote:

wow, nitpicky much Zef?
I think everybody in this thread needs to chill the fuck down, pull the pinecone out of their anus, and perhaps laugh at a noob like SVC.
Do you guys remember his map with box buildings? i know i do.
IAWTP, not that it counts for much.Quote:

:D Also, Wave, needs more funny faces of "pineapple in anus"
*sigh* Tweek and Ð4ÑØ on the same boat, who would have known?
No reason to argue anymore because it's plain down-right stupid. So I guess us inferiors should leave them alone. :rolleyes:
