WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

One of displcements looks squarey where it meets the rock. The displacement nearest to the buildings

That looks soooo phenomenal. TF2 straight to the point, yet awesomely different. Looks nothing like the map in the progress thread. Another level of skill, definitely. Legendary

The brick building in the last pic is ugly as hell.

 

[red_flame586]

Agreed, there's something not right about the brick building, but apart from that, it looks really good

 

[Seba]

Mid of a symmetrical; no there will not be a point on the bridge.

 

[Mr. Happy]

what distances should I make the LOD's for? I'm thinking 70, 150, 256. Does that sound right?
I used sculptris on the handle which, compared to zbrush, is like sculpting with your mind, amazing!

 

[Seba]

Fun fact: LoD numbers aren't distances. They are... I'll let Interlopers explain it. But yeah, 70/150/256 sounds okay. What's the polycount on the un-LoD'd version?

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Early early look at Precipice.

Yes, those are death pits

 

[DaBeatzProject]

OHMIGOD!
(only smart people will eh... get it.)

 

[Mr. Happy]

@seba thanks for the info!
@frozenthere's already a pl_precipice fyi
@dabeatz lol

 

[CornP]

I see, so that's a new gameplay mechanic where you see all blurred :O

 

[tyler]

I for one welcome our new death pit overlords.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Dammit, I double checked that twice. The maps name is originally Hells Precipice (name of a mission in guild wars) but I'll figure I'll change it now... -_-"

And I for one, shall be bringing the deathpits *Evil Laugh*

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Fooling around with sun 'n stuff.

 

[lana]

Hurray for that one map that was pretty fun but had no spawn rooms!

I hope those are unit numbers and not the .qc LOD numbers you're gonna use.

70 is a hella long distance. 256 is absurd.

For comparison the w_sniperrifle has 2 lod models and it switches at 14 and 25:

$lod 14
 {
  replacemodel "w_sniperrifle_reference.dmx.smd" "lod1_w_sniperrifle_reference.dmx.smd"
}
$lod 25
 {
  replacemodel "w_sniperrifle_reference.dmx.smd" "lod2_w_sniperrifle_reference.dmx.smd"
}

Which are very reasonable distances.

All player models have 5 lod models and they switch at 11, 22, 33, 44, 55
So having your first weapons lod swtich at 70 feels a little backwards!

 

[Mr. Happy]

Thanks ravidge, I wasn't thinking straight when I posted that. Those numbers are definitely too large, and I misunderstood what the number meant (thought it was a distance).

 

[RaVaGe]

Back to the real style

 

[Mr. Happy]

I like the shape of that. May I suggest adding grated floor above the displacements between the edge of the floor and the rock wall/computers.
