CP Mangy's Artpass Thread

Hrm, what about the lighting and skybox looks wrong to you? I'm quite drawn to the simplicity of it, and the lighting was picked because it takes some out of the harsher reds in the map

 

[jpr]

I like the new lighting more than the first.
The blend texture between the grass and ground looks a bit funny though

 

[Tinker]

I actually rather like the skybox, it makes the whole place seem fresh and original while not actually using that much different things.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I much prefer the new lighting, the old one was too brown for my tastes. Glad you changed it.

 

[MangyCarface]

btw which tall building looks strange? I'm assuming you mean the actual shape, because as many things are not yet detailed I'd expect them to look strange

 

[Draco18s]

They mean this building:

 

[MangyCarface]

Ah, yeah, temporary texturing anyway, gonna make that less noticeable

 

[MangyCarface]

Working on areaportals behind the scenes. Getting closer to an acceptable above-C area. Progress is depressingly slow right now

 

[Tinker]

Gives me the feeling you could put the final part of the track of Frontier there as a little reference. Or not.

Looking generally good Mangy, not much to comment on right now.

 

[MangyCarface]

Yeah, I realize atm it does kinda resemble frontier back there, but I'm reallllly struggling to pin down what I want for C

 

[MangyCarface]

Finally hit a breakthrough.

I hope you can see how most of the functionality is intact.

 

[ANova]

Oh deer

 

[Leminnes]

That's C? Seriously?

I need a before and after. :|

 

[Eyce]

The squareness looks really off compared to the flowing curves of the rest of the place... Tried doing a circular CP?

The first picture is looking at Red Spawn, the door at the left goes to that one cave-like passage Valve gave us behind A. The other is looking out from Red Spawn.

But yeah. Damn.

I'm all for concentricity but too much can be bad... Plus, then the 'elevator' wouldn't fit into its hole above it. The overall functionality is of an underground missile manufacturing arena (built on one level as the rocket is pushed upwards) which then loads it into the grain silos above, and I've reflected this in the design which has not yet been revealed.

 

[Leminnes]

I think the weirdest thing is the platform itself. It needs to be more substantial or something, especially if it's an elevator of some sort.

 

[MangyCarface]

Hrm, I'd appreciate any paintovers or such to describe your ideas! I love input

I'll do my best, but at a later date. I have class in the morning and I need to sleep.

 

[MangyCarface]

Same area, cleaned up a bit, starting to get lighting more finely tuned, curved in the walls and the point itself... worked heavily on areas surrounding this chamber, but they're not lit enough to demo yet

C&C appreciated
