[WIP] Vindication

[Roostervier]

This is a work in progress, in very early stages. The name gets the thanks of Sunny, he's awesome with names =p. This map is made mostly to force the player into close quarters combat, save for a few areas.






Most of the pics above are really old, I have added a cave, and I plan on adding forerunner bases, interiors, and more caves--maybe a network of them. Also, the top pictures were originally just used to give Sunny an idea of what the map was like for a name, not for this... I will get more pics =D.

My water shader thus far until bum has knife gets us the hawt one (I disabled animation for now):

Wow looks like a bitch to lightmap. Definitely needs more terrain mapping work. But that water looks awesome for stills! Send me those shaders when you get the chance. I'l see I can get it to animate properly.

I want your water. LOL nice start of course add more detail.

I wants me some Real Time Refractions D:
Yes, I need to learn to properly map terrain, this will be a lesson for me. The lightmaps only take 3 hours on medium though, it isn't the worst.
Also, took me like, 2 hours to get the water looking decent, but about 1 hour and 10 minutes of that was loading sapien every time I changed it D:

Look a bit plain. But it is a WIP after all.

I like the water shader though.

Nice water, but the map really needs more work in the layout/detail/not-height-map-ish category.

I agree D: Could you talk to me on AIM about that sometime? You are good with level structure =p.

Also, for the water, all I've done so far is convert the cube map from Halos b30 water reflection and mess around with shader templates. If only I could get the animation and RTRefractions to work (correctly).
