Jetti man, You'v been working away huh? Yeah, like I told yah, the computer walls may be a little confusing. although since the hallway continues it may be fine......

Hope you can win this man!

I don't think there's a way you can put the wall-with-a-hole-in-it prop next to the matching brush and get the lighting to match, unfortunately. In Sawmill they didn't even try.

 

[Jetti]

Hey again guys.
Another update:
I mostly just adjusted lighting, but there are also more props, more fun and less mess

*note, less mess may NOT be true. I just wanted to get a power of 3 effect
This next room needs a major lighting revamp; in general it is too dark, however the side room is so bright I fear anyone stepping into the room would become sterile. I refuse to remove the desk.

Heres an area seen only by close friends. Don't ask grazr about it though. He'll rant about oil being unable to form or some rabble. On a side note, does anyone know how to make the fog "blend" with the skybox to make the skybox whiter?

 

[knifer21]

Love the dam in the last pic, keep up the good work!

 

[AgeNt_]

you would either have to change the color of the fog to match the skybox's color where the horizon is, or make a custom skybox.

 

[Jetti]

Changing the fog is out of the question; it causes the "fade in effect" seen in the refinery behind B. I guess making a custom skybox is my only option. Anyone have any advice on that?

 

[Pocket]

Actually you might be able to cheat by making a skycard texture that fades from the fog color at the bottom to clear at the top, and then making a brush ring around the 3D skybox that uses that texture.

Hey again guys.
Heres another shot of the spytech base.

This is the room adjacent to C.

This is a little side room. Unfortunately I forgot to put lights in the room.

 

[Draco18s]

The tap rack wouldn't really be pushed up next to that computer like that: you'd never be able to access those tap reels! (Unless there's some perspective illusion going on)

Also, chairs like to sit at tables.

 

[Jetti]

Hope that clears thing up.

 

[Draco18s]

Ah ha.

 

[Simski]

Is that a spawn room or an inaccessible room for the purpose of decoration?

If it's a spawn room, I'd say it looks like it would be terribly easily spawn-camped as you could see people approaching the door.
However if it's a decoration, then I'd say it looks very nice.

It's decoration. Have you seen the valvebase version? There is originally no door there.

Hey Guys, Sorry for the lack of progress but I have been on holiday for the past week, and haven't got round to making that sky-card.

Above: A maintainance building. Spruced up since last seen.
Below: A series of shots showing a previously displayed room, but in better detail.

I kinda think I went overkill here, but I would like opinions all the same.
(For Confirmation, you cannot actually get where I did in the 4th screenshot. I used noclip. :3)

 

[Huckle]

It looks like the previously discussed decoration room is way too bright. You also get minus one cookie for using two godrays from a single light. Don't do it.

 

[Jetti]

What the hell is a godray? And those lights were copied straight from doublecross for ease of use. Though I suppose you will give me a -2 cookies for that lack of effort. >_<

He means this image:

And godrays (or crepuscular rays) are the type of luminence streaming down from those lights (point_spotlight entities).

 

[Khuntza]

I'm with Jetti on this one.. Valve use double 'godrays' on fluorescent lights, and like he said they are copied straight out of a Valve made map..

Maybe in that particular screenshot you could loose the last set thats so close to the wall, but the lighting setup itself is fine..

 

[Jetti]

Thanks Khuntza. I removed the ones directly besides the wall shortly after I uploaded that shot last week. I agree it looked bad.

 

[Jetti]

Sorry Guys, but B is under construction.




PERMANENTLY.

















S'yeah,
I finally got around to doing something with B itself.

It's supposed to feel "under construction": It has missing tiles, panels and exposed beams. The roof is also 'temporary' (game wise; its staying as it is.), with temporary construction lights. Even the huge pipe is suspended ominously above the point, waiting to be winched into place.

Also, here are 2 updated shots of BLU spawn.
