itt: sel begins unwrapping cliffs, makes shitty map better

[Con]

Put a little more emphasis on the orange gas. Way too white and clear right now, and way too little.

ok

Also, two things:
1. High Charity on the ring makes no sense at all...unless this map miraculously takes place in the extremely short span between the time you activated the third tower and the time of the "two betrayals."

I think you mean on the ark. Yes, it takes place right after you activate the third tower. I don't think there's a problem with that.

2. It looks way too clear. With the haze, that should be WAY more concealed, like it is at the end cutscene of The Covenant (you can just barely see it).

I'll see what I can do, but I don't want the haze to be overwhelming.

Also, why do the clouds seem low-res and stretched?

You mean the clouds around the core right? It's just the big black turds that makes it obvious. I'm hesitant about making the textures any bigger since the sky tags together are over 20.8 mb. In fact, I should go back and see where I can use compression or 16 bit textures.

[those pics]

edit: still to do
fix turds in the near cloud
fix edge colouring on halo (no longer over a blue background)
make the ark inner edge sexier
fix the sun
lower ring mirroring
make highcharity stick out less
compression
atmospherics and balancing
core clouds
ark fins missing

edit2: incase there's any question, yes, it's ingame

WOW that looks nice

[Heathen]

Actually jcap has a point. High Charity was only in the sky for a few seconds.

The problem with High Charity is that it looks like it's on a different layer than the rest of the sky. Looks like it somehow crashed without intersecting with the Ark.

I agree. It looks out of place, kind of like its way to bright compared to the rest of the image.

wow you got that galaxy integrated well, nice job. Only crit - high charity.

Any updates on the level itself besides the sky?
im curious as to how it looks now with the new textures.

[n00b1n8R]

Highcharity looks like it's floating ontop of the ring, not at all like it's crashed. I know you're going to try and fix that up, but might I suggest some way of linking the two parts together? perhaps there are flood tentacles tieing it to the ring?

I really have no idea how long HC was crashed (never played that far into H3 vOv), but something like that is needed to bring the two peices onto the same level.

Yeah, this is the one thing kinda bothered me, otherwise looks great.

Oh and by the way, we are making the fuel rod gun super powerful to throw off the game, just for noobinator,
