Getting closer to satisfactory. Will need to change the right side a little bit more.

WatchMaker

A roof should blend, balance, and divide the room's walls. In this hallway it's only dividing, and it feels out of place.

IeptBarakat

I hate ceilings.

Back to work.

More or less going to be final for the first version.

wow nice screen thaldarin :o

that look like the old ns 1 style map :)

Align

Floor is kind of plain though.

Delphic

True but how often do you see an interesting floor? (I know I know Video Games != RL)

Align

Well you don't want your map to look boring...

IeptBarakat

I thought his floor looked fitting to it's surroundings.

pSyk0mAn

That thing in the middle should create nice shadow effects and needs some lights at the bottom to give the floor something.

Kouji_San

A boring floor is a realistic floor, no one in their right mind would want a building to have all sorts of doodads on the floor for you to trip over. Such a floor would not pass any building code...


HOWEVER!

Gaming needs awesome floors! A few trims here and there and the floor will belong to this category <img src="http://members.home.nl/m.borgman/ns-forum/smileys/tongue.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> The rest is pretty cool though!

Thaldarin

As you're all discussing the floor.. I just went for something simple as it is a build site and RTS does need clean simple floors. Hence why the ceiling and walls have all the doodads? Come on, think people, think about how to make it easier for your players.

Psyk0man you're right, why on Earth isn't it emitting a shadow?!? :<

Align

It does need to be navigable, but that shouldn't stop you from using something other than an all-grey texture...

EDIT: Or maybe I need to get my eyes checked. Floor looks mostly fine now that I look closer.

I may hate ceilings, but skulks will hate it more! Muwahahahaha!

UncleRay

Quick update... ;D

IeptBarakat

Oooh, getting much nicer. The yellows are a bit too strong or blotchy. But other than that I'm liking it.

UncleRay

Now I see what you mean. I toned down the lights near the power generator ( far left ), and turned them into my tampica blue. ( RGB Values - 153, 253, 255 ). I love this blue for some reason, IDK why!

Delphic

I love the yellow! UncleRay, that's my fave shot of yours by far, I'd suggest rather than 1omni light on the bars, use 3 in a line which are lower range / intensity to give a similar light level with a better effect (or if you are using multiple lights spread them a bit more, it's rather centred in the middle of the bar light atm), have them not cast shadows and it won't be too expensive (and if you want shadows, + wide angle spot light ftw :) ).

Would post a new thread for this, but it's not really worth it.
One of the guys making for textures for NS2 released a set of <strike>rejected (and also cleared for release) NS2 textures</strike> revamped versions of old NS textures. They're a nice change to the standard red/grey blue/grey that the NS2 textures have

Damn. Pretty and I can find a use for most of them!

Who can model them too? :)

Brown chicken brown cow :D

I see some potential UncleRay... I would have to say the ceiling and floor are too flat. vary the heights.

For psyk0man, because I was dumb before.

IeptBarakat

Now the floor is interesting. Plus the lighting is nicer. Good work.

UncleRay

The floor looks too simple, too blah. Add some detail...

perso

I prefer a <u>somewhat</u> flat floor for gameplay reasons. Too much bumps and surface models just gets in your way during a fight. :)

Lazer

A detailed floor can still be flat.

Thaldarin

Another little something. Maybe that floor is slightly busier for peoples tastes too.

You can have slight surface texture variation that might normally stop grenades from rolling around and allow people to get caught on edges, but if you clip it off it looks great and plays great for minimal extra effort!
