Just wow. 

 

Lovely. Love all the layered geo, that's going to look amazing... 

i love that metal texture used as trim in circular designs. wonderful! 

Trimgasm! 

that looks awesome. I much prefer small maps with detail like that than huge maps with plainess everywhere. 

Good luck! Hope this marks your triumphant return to quake mapping! 

 

Gotta love it. Beautiful. 

Because I have pressing matters to attend to -

You better have rolling boulders around the corner from there. 

Interesting, good stuff. 

Note: Textures and lightning not yet done. Only checking basic layout / item placement for now.

After wanting to jump into level editing for years a friend recently asked me to make a 3v3 -> 5v5 TDM map for an event and this is roughly what I came up with.
I just want to check feedback on anything that needs changing badly.

harvesting your brushwork 

Works pretty well for like 15 minutes of work. Leaves could be added with fences maybe. And different coloured version (more brown) would be very feasable for barrier structures.

Fucking hell mfx that's some fine brushwork in this shot: http://i.imgur.com/fQ3VK3f.jpg

Looks like if Studio Ghibli did Quake 

thx. Go map! 

Hi. First time user. I'd like some feedback on a level I'm currently working on. It's a remake of the first level of Monolith's original game, Blood. I've added a few if my own touches to the concept to make it look more like a modern work.

Please watch this YouTube video to see a complete run through of the map.

I'd love to hear any criticism and suggestions.

Thanks!

Very promising.

Outside bits look good. Rocks could do with some more rounding off.

Inside bits boxy and a bit cramped.

Textures are consistent but look a bit like arse.

I'd say, keep the design and layout, upscale the inside rooms a bit, add some more interesting quake-like designs and details to them, and go for a more subtle texture set. 

This is just a quick test I made, which I think works pretty well.

Basically it still is only 8 different blocks from the source 128x128, but they are distributed around the 512x512 so there is a less obvious tiling grid.

Older for comparison:

Also this version is already somewhat dirtied up with tints and the like, so ideally I would do the tiling pass on the cleaner version, and then dirty up from there, so the dirt is actually unique. I reckon for stuff like bricks and the like, things that tile across bigger areas, this is worth it, no? Do we even need small 128x128 versions?
