but I scrapped the map because I didn't like the layout of it and I'm currently making a new version. by the way, the screenies look very nice! and I think the outdoor area looks familiar...
ijed . . .
Lunaran negke!! Willem. :) than 8=D busy, and ikwhite is too similar to something else I'm building so I'd rather save the ideas
that looks great! Great details and lighting.
BTW,You doing all this with TrenchBroom? I'm kind of finding it difficult to use because Worldcraft is so ingrained, but damn it has awesome texture lock and a 3d view that doesn't suck. Yeah it was made entirely in Trenchbroom. I sometimes use Hammer to do stuff but not with this one, at least not yet.
with its ik_ textures
ik_white looks particularly as shit as it does mayby its just me though I never liked that whitish texture neither.
Maybe a very strong fog could help (I hope so). My expectations for the jam2 maps are VERY low ! I just find them too ugly and bland to bother with. Maybe the intention is to have all the visual interest created with brushwork and architecture instead of textures. Much like the original maps that used these texture sets.
"Honey" wasn't all that great of a choice for Map Jam 1 either. Most brushes ended up textured with that Doom style yellow brick, and those maps turned out pretty good. So I guess there is hope. The honey theme is a disguised way of showing off brushwork with fog. Simple forms layered backwards and downwards into the murk can look incredible, far better than the same forms cut up with texture detail and washed with spotlights. Some people grasped this, and others unfortunately took the theme to mean nothing more than 'use that yellow brick everywhere.'
The ikwhite theme is a disguised way of showing off brushwork with lighting. The texture set finds a thematically appropriate way to step backwards in contrast and importance, making even subtle changes in color and brightness into showcases. Some people will grasp this (although maybe fewer, since even the original ikspqs don't provide as clear an example as honey and saint), and others will take it to mean only 'use that white brick everywhere.' We'll see. Really nice architecture. The blue lights with the fog gives a really cool ambiance to the map, and the ikwhite wad set really fits well here.
Can't wait to play it :)
