Your doom1map1 is coming along pretty well. 

yeah but i hope you intend on putting a little more detail into those rooms 

you do use visgroups right, just deleted em for this shot? 

I group things all the time, and I used to use coloured visgroups in WC, then hide some when I was working on a specific part, but I prefer just to have all of the lines in the 2D windows white, and I dont bother hiding anything anymore.
My vis-"blocking" is a lot better than it was :) 

visgroups either, but I think I'd need to learn to before building anything that complex! 

Which shot appeals to you more, and why?

Because it has warmer colours. Like 0.0001%. 

Because it doesn't have warmer [or more uriney] colours. 

Because I don't like yellow taint on B 

That's a really fucking gay custom Quake engine you're using there... 

it doesn't make any goddamn difference at all. "warm" or "cool" is a much bigger decision than "50% saturated" or "60% saturated." quit obsessing over it. 

Thanks everybody!

Shamb,

Yeah. But then again, fuck your mother.

Lun,

The difference is more than simply ten percent saturation. It's desaturated and then color graded to drain the blue out of the picture. I've also adjusted the levels slightly.

A is completely undoctored, by the way. 

clearly the next-gen solution is to desaturate it and hue-shift everything to brown, so B obviously.

After all, that's what sold the bazillion copies of Gears of War, not the fun visceral combat or anything.

Keep tweakin' those colour levels! 

feels cleaner 

wrath stop mapping for crappy games!!! go make a proper Q1 map :)

peace!!!


ps-> i cant coment on a engine i dont know ;) 

covers up poor art direction and bad lighting.

Can't coordinate a project well enough to pick colors that match in any given scene? Fix it in post!
Your lighting model (or your lighters) too shitty to make a scene look halfway believable? Fix it in post!
Blew your texture budget so hard the entire scene devolves into visual noise? Fix it in post! 

Are you upset that Aliens: Colonial Marines post processed over your stuff? 

The color difference between shots A and B is less than the color difference between two randomly chosen monitors, so it's pointless to worry about it. 

Trinca, why can you not comment on the aesthetic appeal of two comparative images? Imagine they're actual RL rooms, I assume you can deal with that concept (unless you continually walk into walls in your house because it's the 'wrong engine')

A btw, it looks more realistic, less game-y. But as Lun says, it makes little difference. Either would look good if I hadn't seen the other. 

The level looks quite cools though. I like the organic element to it - like it's genuinely a bit fucked up because its a bit old n' stuff. Nice work!
Also: - you must have a massive monitor....

I have no idea who pissed in your cornflakes, but it wasn't me, alright?

There is no project, there is no texture budget. It's just me and hammer, so take a deep breath and suck my cock. 

Lun loves you really. Everyone pissed in his cornflakes. 

I liked B better, looks warmer and more natural.
