Sorry, no lighting. I intend for this to be a pretty small map, should take 5-10 minutes to complete, so the layout is maybe half done? Depends on how much progress I can make.
The idea being smaller map = more likely to get done.

shot1: the top horizontal metal brace looks awkward where it meets the vertical metal braces.
try pushing the horizontal piece up 32 units and putting a blank metal square texture in the gap (similar to how the cross lights are for the lower connection). 

what necros says about braces.
also, all crosses must be inverted. point lights will make it shine. looks promising. 

Half done already?
Careful with the hellknights this time! 

Can the water be changed to lava? Something about them being so close together bothers me.

Can't wait! 

If it gets changed to lava then you would probably die trying to swim through it :( 

slime? 

red water? 

 

Or Frozen Lava ? 

It's clearly Jell-o. 

Naturally I can't let that go unchallenged.

Problem is, he's the layout master while I'm just a detail whore - which is a disadvantage at this stage. 

metal turtles maps to 25 December? 

The Alice stuff doesn't look like it is meshing greatly but, in the word of Tim Gunn, "Make it work."

BTW, if Zwiffle is the layout guy and Negke is the detail guy, then those guys should team up ;) 

fuck, all i have is box rooms. :P 

interesting zwiffle,
or is he a map?
can't wait to play zwiffle.

he won't play my map,
or is he a view mapper?

cementy brick textures... very nice. :) 

Ankh, the word is massive!!! 

So yeh. That stuff enki posted looks really, really nice. Good DKT texture usage (or is that Rune?)

And yeh, zwiff made something, big whoop (altho the metal turtle by december idea has merit... wanders off thinking). 

Problem is, he's the layout master while I'm just a detail whore

just struck me it would be interesting to see how people rate themselves regarding strength in, let's say: brushwork(macro), brushwork(detailing), brushwork(terrain), monster gameplay, layout gameplay, lighting, vis efficiency... maybe others, i dunno.

or maybe just do it as a poll and see what the general trend is... 

metal turtles maps to 25 December?

i don't like this. release them as individual maps with their own identity - not bundled as a pack with a silly label 

Vondur would say invert the crosses.

nntt: Yeah, I know. :( Also, it'd be cool if it got people making and releasing maps.

necros: Probably average across all fields, or thereabouts.

xen: Same as nntt. 

How dare you fob off both xen and me with the same answer. Especially when to took opposite views of the metal turtle idea (does anyone else get images of people being burned on giant metal turtles? Just me? (see Small Gods)).

That kind of laziness is exactly why you never release a map. And why my mother stopped loving you. 

Loving that! Reminds me of dranzdm6 actually :)

inb4 Vondur "make the crosses inverted" :)
