That map will be released soon...
And now, just for the tickles: http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/mfxsp11_07.jpg http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/mfxsp11_06.jpg http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/mfxsp11_05.jpg http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/mfxsp11_04.jpg http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/screen_shots/mfxsp11_01.jpg That�s a remake of E3M1, i call it Termination Mental ;) ...looks like the new mapping machine. :) Screenshots look sweet - still have to play that debut base map though!
left the my Computer for food, and found this post above.
My Girl is always good for a fun.. ;) To answer your question, SW, i started mapping for Q1 in 97 with QED (anyone remembers?). But those works are all lost, and back in 2011 i was discovering WorldCraft and Quark, and got fired up again. Simple as that, it took me nearly 1 1/2 years to do what i�m doing now in Quark. Glad you like it.. Interested to see how your polished tight base design translates with the Kell theme, and the other base one looks great too.
I think they both look particularly interesting. More than-worship apparent in the kell one (not that that is ever a bad thing).I suppose the remix map also looks that way, evoking than's 1st dm remix in some ways. But it also has a strong Ricky T23 vibe going on... something a tad more loose there, it seems.
Either way. really good looking stuff... Skacky - you still working on that Knave pack? Drew: I got a bit carried away with other projects (most notably for Thief) and real life got in the way. Badly. I will resume work on it someday though, the maps are still there.
I'm not seeing anything here that I dislike, what is it you want us to compare? All these textures compliment each other beautifully.
@FifthElephant, I am curious to know what image people like the most. The first impression is important for an image, it can hint at what is the best view angle, lighting and focus of a scene.
21 and 23 for me.
21 is great because it is a castle and shows some big interior and has great atmosphere. Makes me wonder what of the possible locations in the image I can explore, the tower maybe? Maybe I can sneak on that ledge above the entry. What's in the bottom left corner! 22 looks "boring, just some random room". 23 looks intriguing and hints at some interaction with those evil guys. (The SK door looks out of place to me, too cartoonish and also flat. A more yellow/light or darker wood type might fit better. But this is random taste and possibly complete bollocks.) 24 looks great because it shows traps and I like that but the image itself seems so filled. Only one of the pendulums would look better I think. Then it would be more clear what it is too. Right now they look like they statically(!) barricade the item without moving. The item itself is not even really recognisable as something worth getting to a non-Quaker. Thanks spirit, that is awesome. Yeah shot 22 is an odd one, I love the architectural shapes but it does not present well as a screenshot. It sort of falls into the category of brushp0rn. The locked door in 23 is a lighter wood but the SK panel is stone which is odd. 24 is my homage to Mike and the nice use of pendulums. I remade the model to have a ring section at the top and beefed up the rest of the model to represent the weight better. I should do a couple of extra skins for variety reasons.
I pretty much agree with what spirit has said, except maybe his comments on the silver key door looking out of place, I think it's fine. I recognise the area of 22, looks fairly standard, not every room is going to be mind-blowingly awesome, sometimes rooms just need to be functional (but tarted up a little).
