Is that motion blur I see? 

Can't wait to try it... 

Heres my progress on breakable books with Arcane Dimensions. Download this and put it in your ad/maps.

So far its just three books(red, orange, green). They "break" into one of two "types". One being three seperate pieces; orange-1.bsp, orange-2.bsp, orange-3.bsp. The other being the whole book; orange-whole.bsp.

The pos1 property controls the particles. Each books emits particles to match its color!

Let me know what you guys think! 

 

"every book is (several) brushes" is the new "every brick is a brush" 

Removing engine limits was a mistake.

Making a library map and every page of every book has its own brush 

 

every page of every book has its own brush
Make them breakables as well, so that pieces of shredded paper can fly all over the place! Next 1,000 brush jam, the whole map consists of ONE book. 

As someone who has yet to finish a map, god I shouldn't have looked at this thread

Another random WIP of my personal AD map.

I might look into the QS Spiked rain effects even if it is only for those who use the engine...it sure looks like it is about to pour!

I would appreciate any comments or criticisms even though this is entirely up to change and nothing is final.

*Oh, and ignore the random floating square >_> 

Looks great, as moody as they come. If you implement rain for QSS, you should also do it for DP.

random floating square Make that a giant meatball for a cool pop culture reference... ;) 

Thanks man,

If I do go with rain official I will certainly attempt to enable it for DP as well. 

Cool! What's that awesome skybox you're using? 

http://wwwtyro.github.io/space-3d

It is a free Space Box generator that uses random seeds to generate a sky/spacebox. I think I found it from FifthElephant's twitter a long while back. Seeing his groovy green spacebox made me save the page...glad I did! 

Skybox generator is what I used for my next map 

 

nice work 

If you need some guidance for DP implementation, check this tut by Seven: http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-help/quake-clients/6869-tut-creating-rain-snow-fog-darkplaces.html 

Thanks Nitin, I am definitely okay with this vibe.

Thanks Mug, I will take a look...if I do it would be at the very end of the map's life cycle. 

Of course it would, since it depends on your map's geometry. You're welcome. 

this is something I whipped up in the past day and a half. I'm moderately happy with it, I guess. Same texture set as another map I've posted about before, but no other relation here.

Question: How far along have you gotten before giving up on a map before? My previous map in a similar style was/is quite long at this point, with a lot of effort put into it (months). But i've lost my motivation to work on it recently, so I did my noirjam map and then started working on this one instead.

Not sure if I'll ever go back to my older map, but it's the first time I've ever "abandoned" something that was so far along.
