I'm trying a terrain map with dxf.mdl as hillows.

that definitely looks like a madfox map.

Some changes in lighting and detail, I think the map still maintains a nice warm colour palette even with the white stone.

Nice, sock! The broken floor is a nice effect. 

Trying a new art direction with some higher resolution photo sourced textures. Any good?

wood is good
stone step texture is good
square stone floor texture is not. i felt that the orange floor was an integral part of the theme you had going. 

is good but not for this map IMHO. The standard one worked just fine. 

wish i lived there 

I'll be your BFF if you can get that to compile. 

A quick experiment with Terragen and cloud layers.

necros,nitin: I sort of liked the fact is was not brown! but the photo source had a lot of visual errors so I will create another version. 

Those mountains always look like they are from cheap 90s music videos. :(

The clouds are nice though.

The floor might work the other way around, bricks lower and wood on top of it. 

@grahf - It's part of the cave sector in arcus. The mountain thing are dxf.mdl Tried a realvis last night, but instead of 1� houres I woke up unfinnished 8 houres later. 

Those mountains always look like they are from cheap 90s music videos.

yes. :( using the stock procedurals on the heightmap is easily identifiable as just that. 

put nothing there but sky ... maybe 

you are too good, please stop. I actually liked the new stone texture too. Spirit is right about those mountains though. 

...gotta love them!

undead knights have foun my OrbFactory! 

a tron bit in the teleport? 

I like how what you're gonna do next is so unpredictable Madfox. Looks cool, vaguely doom1ish scifi (perhaps influenced by your hangar conversion). 

After a big round I took the startlevel of Quake3 and converted it into Quake1. So in fact it is only the place where the first income of Quake3 starts.
This with the thing in mind, that if I want to use Orb, it must have found a way to get to Quake 1.
In this way I use the Q3 start level (make it more look like Q3 but those low bit tex), to get to the orbetrayel Q2 start level into Q1.

In addition I made a kind of factory where the Orb is constructed in parts. (thanks Wazat!)

@meTch- that's an nanimation with stars, no teleporter. I know it looks that way, but I admit it is hard to recognize the Q3 startlevel with other textures.
