Well the deadline has come and gone but I'd still like to show this and I'd love some good feedback.

Erm... You should compile first. Are you sure you can finish that in 16 days?

 

[Draco18s]

Looks amazing though.

 

[Goombac]

Looks very busy, although that may just be the fullbright. Can't wait to see it ingame.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I came.

 

[Mr. Happy]

haha

It won't look so busy from the players viewpoint. It's actually quite clean!

Lol not sure, at the very least I should have something but maybe not quite what I envision. I've never made cinematic physics before so I'm saving that for the end and may not do it. I've got a pretty clear vision of what needs to be done though and am making excellent progress.

 

[grazr]

Oh man, is that optimised at all?

 

[Mr. Happy]

another hammer screen

 

[tyler]

I am really anxious to see this in game

Holy shit is this an honest-to-god space theme? Because it looks like the most fantastic gorgeous space theme I've ever seen. If it isn't space themed make it a space theme. Space theme.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

If you want to use my space skybox from my artpass, PM me about it, or any other textures I have made.

 

[Mr. Happy]

Wow that's an awesome offer thank you! I don't know if we're allowed to do that though and I'd like to do it all myself anyway, but THANK YOU for the offer! Same goes to you.

I have not had this map in a compilable state for weeks, and so it's not optimized as such. That say I do try to clean as I build, so it not unoptimized. I hope to have it back in game tonight or tomorrow.

Reworked texture set

I don't think a planet would need a bump map like that. Wouldnt it just be spec/diffuse etc?

Seconding, you really don't need a normal map for something as flat as the Earth from space.

Thirding. If you took a cue ball and blew it up to the size of the Earth, the Earth would be the smoother of the two.

 

[Mr. Happy]

ya you guys are right, but i just downloaded crazybump onto my new computer so i did it anyway

Lol, Crazybump is cool. But I still wouldn't use it, normal maps aren't "free" in terms of performance.

 

[Tinker]

I like how it centers on Australia. Trying to get on someone's good terms?

Make the entirety of earth the playing area. I'm not sure if Valve will let you change the geometry like that but it would be a truly unique style.
