I need some help deciding on the lighting of my map. I though night would look the best, but I have become unsure.

HazeA
FeverA
NightA

HazeB
FeverB
NightB

HazeC
FeverC
NightC

What looks the best: Haze, Fever or Night?

 

[Okrag]

Haze is more visually striking but night is overall a sounder choice, especially at C.

 

[tyler]

While I like Haze on A, on B and C it looks kind of dull. Night seems plain, though, and Fever is just a middle ground. I don't really know.

I got a 404 on the dropbox link

edit: I like Haze B the most, or Night C.

 

[Wilson]

Night looked best on all points for me, Fever was worst one for me, it just doesn't fit in.

this looks really sweet, i like how damaged the buildings look

but i cant download it! D:

 

[Tyker]

Yes, heh, sorry about that. I needed to free up my dropbox so I deleted cp_drag_b3, wich was 120mb large. I am about to finish up b4, but I am still hoping valve will fix the swamp theme before I will release b4.

 

[Pocket]

I'd say Fever does the best job of capturing that "swamp" atmosphere, especially on B.

 

[Tyker]

Updated to b5!

The decals on the second pic are a little weird, but it looks good!
Ill have a proper look around when i have time :B

 

[Tyker]

Those aren't decals!

 

[tyler]

The second picture is similar to an idea I had once for a swamp map. Glad someone is doing it.

 

[LeSwordfish]

the picture with the soil overlays on the wall has too many of them. It looks like someone's detonated a keg of earth.

 

[Tyker]

I finally had some time to work on it!
I changed a whole lot, detailed C entirely different and I made some ivy models to spice up the walls. Now to see if it plays better too!

 

[tyler]

Hey! I was just thinking about this today and I wanted to play it.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Surprising, I was talking about this map with another guy... I remembered how really nicely detailed blu's spawn was.

 

[Tyker]

Also, I really looking for some feedback on C. I feel it doesn't look great yet, especially on the outside, but I have no idea what to do with it. Does anyone have good ideas?

If the screens are updated, especially the first one, you have some very very dark areas

 

[Tyker]

I forgot to include the scripts for the ambient sounds!

The download at the top is now also updated to b13a. This is the latest and best version.

If the screens are updated, especially the first one, you have some very very dark areas

I hope that is not the case. I've improved the lighting a lot over time and I haven't gotten any comments on it being too dark any more. We'll see this gameday I guess!

i think this http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq213/xSergis/TF2/cp_drag_b130000.jpg breach would look better if the metal was bent slightly like this http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq213/xSergis/TF2/ctf_intellitrench_a30001.jpg instead of being cut like it is and the wood and concrete would show more structure detail like this http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq213/xSergis/TF2/cp_morras_castle_b30002-1.jpg instead of being uniformly cut.
