(photoshop) is more usefull than sharpen if you want to sharpen up your textures.
Speedy: they look better than the ones you released but you need to work more on the forms (specially the round pipes or whatever they are) and use less black. rather opposite
painted shadows should be black to remain black regardless of the lightmaps, or you get washed dull look of HL Well, I understand the comment. Using black for all shadows and recesses darkens the underlying material irrespective of its qualities or the light that would actually be falling on it. This is really more an issue of realism textures, like with the ( stalled ) med texture challenge on Map-Center. Pale colored stucco and brickwork recieving large amounts of sunlight would not have black/dark gray shadows; more likely bluish gray or brown. Using black produces a stronger, comic book feel in a texture, especially if the materials being represented are incredibly corroded metal or heavily grunged up brickwork.
Personally, I've used black shading ( or, as I refer to the omni-directional shading between texture components, inking ) on almost all of my textures. Which are, patently, comic book style and not highly realistic. For Speed's textures, I think black is perfectly acceptable. It required tonn of voodoo tricks and text editing of the
http://www.planetquake.com/speedy/screens/leaks2_00.jpg Now need to apply snazzy shaders and shange items have you modified the textures too or are they going to be blurryish like von's converted map?
cool, that was the only thing I disliked about von's map. I've played the qw version of leaks and if it's the same (added detail?) then it can only be good.
For anyone who hasn't seen this one yet:
http://www.gomjabbar.de/screenshots/shot01.jpg This one is an unlit screenie of the Q1 DM map I'm currently working on, dressed in texes from the good old quake.wad. The architecture is nearly done and I hope to have a lit version ready by the weekend. Comments are welcome as always... I mentioned this one last eve. and posted an early rough pic...
http://www.backshooters.com/maric/cave.gif I wanted to do a bit more with it than what is pictured here but have run up against the max_patches limit. This is pretty much what the final will look like. http://www.backshooters.com/maric/78a.gif http://www.backshooters.com/maric/78b.gif http://www.backshooters.com/maric/78c.gif It is a tad bland but I was going for a minmalistic, all terrain map which it made coming up with decent lighting a bugger. maric, let me tell you this. you are my hero.
not only because you map for q2, but also because you kick ass and your maps put any q2 maps to shame, you just keep on inproving. keep it up. Thanks guys, thank you daftpunk. I keep trying to come up with interesting stuff. Just in case it was missed, here is the link to the finished map. It was not a news item and it is off the main page now so...
http://quake2.abs.net/pub/maps/q2/marics78.zip I plan to do just that once I take the time to learn how to do just that.
HTML and I are square pegs and round holes. The very fact that I am actaully able to sometimes type intelligibly in my native language still amazes me. Now doing even basic code... YOIKS!
