WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Why bother?

Why bother?

Good answer.

This is nothing; there's a forum I frequent with over 6000 pages in a main thread.

This WiP thread was really interesting when I first joined. Can't remember how many pages there were at the time, but I made sure to start from the beginning and go through every single one. Not sure I'd do the same if I were to join today.

I did read the entire thread. But back then ("back then"=a year ago) when I joined there was ~850 pages.

That's kinda intense. At least to me. I suck at displacements.

You're not the only one, look at that mismatch right next to the blue axis! Step up your game wareya!

ninja edit: it looks like all the cliff sections are different heights too :S

Not just that, but he also used a few displacements to cover the areas where it doesnt go well. Didnt you have a guide before explaining how to make displacements actualy sew well? It might be harder to do it on that area, but its not impossible.

Too bad i never realy made such creations as i find them interesting to make, but the maps i made simply didnt need them.

I'd recommend decompiling upward and studying how they made their cliff walkway. It's nothing crazy, just a good example of how preparation makes a job easier.

Your displacement brushes should line up though, then they sew properly.

A idea I had floating around in my head that I hope to turn into a map.
(It still needs "some" work)

The Spawn room

The intel stand

Entering the main hallway

A small detail room

Outside one of the spawn exits

AustralianHH, I really like the simplicity of your visuals. They add to the map in a nice way without being distracting. However, judging by your screenshots the map looks a bit linear and closed-in. I think the more mobile classes aren't going to have quite so much fun on the map if everything has a shallow roof with little openness.

Experiment with raising the ceiling ~100 units and putting cross beams where the ceiling is now. Guarantee you'll like the gloomy effect it creates, and it'll keep everything from looking like a rectangle.

Thanks, I built this off a brain storm I had and only after building it did I realize that it greatly limited the effectiveness of certain classes

It's an example of how making everything out of flat quads doesn't mean it's displacement-compatible.

I don't have any intentions of finishing it. It's so hard.

Just a quick test to see how I can unbox myself
