WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

So close to being finished!

The roof in the top middle of the first screenshot irks me for whatever reason. I feel like it should be mirrored. I guess I'm just used to rooves pointing to the middle of a skyline, though.

Meet cp_blizzard's *new* B point (abysmal lighting as always, my fault):

Also, the strong glare on those dual-type lights. Is that from the point_spotlights, or from the simple lights? I'd like to reduce that effect.

That lighting really is atrocious. It looks like you're just using light_spot entities with really low brightness. In the first and second screenshot you have lights aiming directly at the floor and yet the floor is still pitch black?

It's worth noting that light_spots are much darker than lights. For the average room, the brightness of each light will normally be around 800-1200, and for particularly large rooms you may need to set the brightness to 2000 or higher...

Also don't be afraid to use ghost lights (lights with no visible source) to further brighten up an area.

Because they're just point_spots (non-light-casting) and dim simple light entities. I wanted to see if I could reduce the glare effect (I didn't); the room was brighter in other compiles.

Awesome, I'll go with those numbers. I'll hopefully be doing a lighting pass of Red Base tomorrow.

Here's a good tutorial on lighting.

You gotta remember, this is the WiP thread for a reason

I'd never release like this, geez. Just wanted to get the geometry out of the way.

 

[Tekku]

Have been slowly working on beta 2 of koth_forge mostly updating all the boring oob areas and spawns..

 

[RodionJenga]

Hopefully this hallway is more interesting / streamlined / fancy

 

[Yrr]

looks cluttered honestly

 

[Fantaboi]

Planning to make an extended version with all the particle effects in and higher res, but i'm so happy its working that i'm going to post it here.

I wasn't a fan of those neo-futuristic lights from the screenshots alone, but holy shit do they look cool in the vid!

This isn't for the 72 hour thing, just something I'm finishing up, so in this thread it goes. I'll be using the weekend to make changes to isolation & snowycoast instead.

I think if I'd compiled with the shadows off on the blocks it'd look better, but whatever. Today going to be fixing the textures for all the Egypt stone stuff (including what's pictured), then possibly a release tonight.

And one more of the back of the cartouche for good measure:

Is it completely coincidental that @Crash is needing a sphinx for his 72hr map or not?

 

[EArkham]

Coincidental. This is for Alias' map mvm_intercept. I'll probably also make a koth map with it just as a showcase piece.

 

[Kube]

Ah, the simple wonders of a quick lighting pass:

 

[Vel0city]

Hmmmm sharp shadows. Me gusta.

I hope to make a few more changes and upload by tomorrow. I think this one has a lot more potential than any project I've worked on before

 

[RavenStryker]

Fancy Brushwork to make a very awesome spawn door!
