Congrats on almost getting ready for a release!

Nighttime terracotta with some lava is a nice mix! 

You got mail sir 

keep it up 

 

Thank you all for the comments and especially the demo Daz. I'll be making whatever changes I can according to feedback before I post the map up officially.

Thanks again! 

Before releasing, if you're using ericw's light compiler, won't you try to apply some Phong shading in these columns? Check this out: https://ericwa.github.io/tyrutils-ericw/

Anyways, I love when people dare on brushwork. Looking forward to play!

I made some statues as details/fillers. The sphinx-like ones are cute; as for the other ones, however, they kind of look like penguins or pidgeons wearing ties?! Maybe if they carried crates on their heads.... 

are officially a Lovecraft monster.... 

....but not the negke map I am looking for. 

...it turns out that they worshipped penguins. Who would've thought it? 

guess I was wrong... I love bsp prefabs like that 

I made a Quake Team Fortress map using Trenchbroom. I thought I might add a SS.

Cool stuff, I like the moat! 

....but the overall style of that map looks very cool :) 

I wonder, is there an active TF community? 

Tip: make the top of the mountains a large rectangle, all back edges running in a straight line, in order to have only five sky brushes with smooth surfaces. Saves some polys. 

Sorry SS = screenshot.

Your best bet on finding a TF game happens on Fridays.

I made the sky that way so to give the towers the honor of being the tallest object in the map. The mountains are shorter so the sky had to be extended to accommodate the towers. Kinda makes them look bigger or maybe helps to focus the eye on them a bit more. 

I will hopefully have a beta done in a week or two.

Awesome to see more and more maps in progress!

Cool theme going out there love Coagula 

This map is relevant to my needs. 

I've been practicing some mapping.

I've noticed the seam, and the texture alignment hasn't been worked on yet.

Also, I've raised the brightness a lot for this shot; in-game it's darker, which makes the grainyness less pronounced. 

are you doing some special phong shading stuff with your lighting? 

Yes, but the cave's brushes aren't triangulated yet, so there's some vertex inaccuracies affecting the smoothing.

Also, so far I'm concluding that there's still a number of texture alignment tools that could be created to ease map development. Manually editing the texture coordinates for all brushes in the map takes an astronomical amount of time. 

World vs Face:
World causes stretching on angled surfaces but allows for perfect alignment of, for instance, brick grout across bevelled corners.

Face allows for perfect representation of the texture on any angle of surface but makes alignment difficult. JACK/WC allow for Alt+RightClick to carry alignment across from selected face...tedious and still affected by...

NPO2 divisible face distances cause textures to end in the middle where edges on textures fail to line up with edges of faces in many cases.
