New sexy door for Bastion.

That's so awesome I almost posted in all caps about it

This is some screenshots from the blue spawn of my contest entry. But because of a lack of time, I will probably don't continue it.

You remember when you were saying that about artpass. And how did that turn out?

CONTEST 6 WINNER IS 3DNJ AND HIS MAP IS NOW COMMUNITY MAP, WELL DONE.

I actually have a working, half decent texture map for this thing!

The layout of everything might not be "ultra-pro", but I don't have distortions at the moment, and it's my first attempt at converting something into TF2. Plus, I feel like my concentration is running out unless I can get a something placed into the map.

Still, any tips would be helpful.

Something doesn't look quite right about that rock. Especially if you were working from that eroded mesa photo, the rock wouldn't erode in curves like that. Also, the hills in the picture are much bigger than what you have (like 3-4 times as tall). The shadowing also looks a little weird.

It's just a reference. The shadow is bad because there is no collision mesh in a quick compile.

That's funny, cause the height, shape and general designs of buildings in TF2 arn't exactly realistic either. IE they are warped for the art style.

Despite the fact that i did geology at A-level and am used to studying rock formations (such an interesting life i live), i could see this in TF2 with only a reasonable amount of suspension of disbelief on my part.

Plus, from a gameplay persective, you don't want to confuse players with what is and is not a walkable surface. Rocks on a 45 degree angle of descent is one way to achieve this confusion. So some shape modifications on Rexy's part are completely understandable.

Considering A) direct affect on gameplay, B) general map size and relative prop size, and C) general aesthetics vs performance, my only complaint is that the tops appear too square.

EDIT: Oh, and it makes me want to eat some of these:

I don't think those rocks really strike me as the formations in the pic. They however do like nice and a set like that could make an interesting scene.

Rexy, have you seen Bryce/Zion at all? (southern utah, between moab and Vegas (hoover dam/hydro))

 

[BrainInBlack]

- Scraped the blue base, it was way to big and confusing.
- Changed most of the textures to neutral dev_textures.
- Added some lights for cp_2 (now you can actual see what i have done ).
- Changed ambient and sky, to a night setting.

Gee, there are about 10 posts on each page on this thread. 197x10=1970+8= about 1978 posts.

WOW.

I am incredibly disappointed that each of your posts aren't incredibly bad puns.

O:

BACON FLAVORED SNACKS? Where can I get some of these.

And @ Sgt Frag, nearly all of my reference images look like that. All I'm doing is creating a stylization that's going to work as gameplay items and look interesting and similar without being so busy that they become distracting.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

I love the pigeon cutouts.

That room seems very dark, I'd lighten it up a bit more. Also, rotate the wooden texture on the bottom horizontal beam at the open window.
