Are you trying to beat the CDA fullvis runtime ? :P
Wide open area needs long time to compile, and regarding the shots, it looks awesome, plenty of details everywhere... You will certainely have to wait for almost the same time before seeing a 100% fullvised map...
Anyway, good luck, be patient, and we all hope to see the release soon..
Keep it up ! 

After boxing the map

are you saying you built a giant box around the entire map to get it to vis? because that would certainly explain why it's taking so long. 

fullvis runtime to beat is 1248 hours... As of today, CDA still wins :) 

Oh yeah, OK, if you can't get it to VIS without boxing that would explain your VIS times. Having the process all of the outside stuff that QBSP would normally cull away will double or triple your VIS times easily. 

You need to find the leak, MF. Boxing stuff makes baby Jesus cry. 

 

muh_bad 

'Boxing stuff nails baby Jesus to a wall' doesn't have the same ring to it. 

And on the road the map has crossed was a point where the box wasn't necessary to compile it, but then the max limit was reached and it had many hom's.

but that map ended on a burned out mobo, so make my cahsbox smile.

Hey ! Nice shot ! 

"He" is just slow and busy as hell. 

hey, you can take all the time you want as long as you're branching out! it's good to see you've still got your roots in the community! it wood be great if you posted more shots! 

Shoots.

kind of my take on the "r_speeds be damned" concept (though on a much more subdued scale)

Something I'm working on involving custom textures and a sort of abstracted look for a level. This is the general look of the level. I'm keeping the more interesting things to myself for now. 

pretty cool idea Willem, although now I'm really wondering what the textured version will look like. 

of this doom2 level i was doing a while ago, but never finsihed because i had no ideas. just made because i was bored :)

Neat, I like that! Could be some cool possibilities there. 

Those shots remind of me of p0rtal :) 

I like the cel-shaded style Willem, reminds of Warsow a bit.

I actually like Fern's Mondrian 'suggestion', possibly add some random primary colour surfaces (ie, keep the majority as white squares with black outline, but replace a few of the white squares with red/blue/yellow/etc (still with black outlines ofc)) 

I'm reserving color for specific purposes. You'll see! It's all part of a plan... 

I was going to say, use color for a purpose, not to just to make the map more colorful. 

Add more rainbows. 

You heard him, Asaki.
