<div class="IPBDescription">Here's my best work to date...</div>OK, i know those r_speeds are _really_ high, I have some ideas how to lower it, but I'll do that after I get the rest of the map done.

Anyway, i'm just looking for some comments, sorry for starting another thread, but if hanz can get away with it... <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

3rd and final...

I know this one looks a little bland... anyone think some light spots on the walls would help?

Anything?

yesukai

that last shot looks... awefull. Really, it doent look realistic, it doesnt look deailed, it just looks there. the first one looked ok... but your going to get tons of comments on how you need to add more contrast with lighting, etc.

r_speeds seem rather high did you VIS it?

Raptor6

Can you post some gl_wireframe shots?
Was hlvis running? O_o

OK looks good, just needs something in the third shot, it looks very bland, what if you were to have lights in 3 corners and a busted flashing light in the 4th corner give more atmosphere with out re-texturing?

Legionnaired

OK, I guess those r_speeds were getting boosted by the transparent windows, those have been taken out. It now looks a little mor bland, but I'll add some stuff in later to contrastify it a little.

Anyway, here's a new area I did, plenty of contrast.

EDIT: Oh, and I always do run it with a full VIS running...

Here's another one. I see that additive layer wierdness, it'll be fixed in the next compile.

That last 2 shots look 10 times better than the other ones =) i like the contrast

Looking good, I like how unflat the floors are. Maybe try some different textures besides that round-holed grate for the floor? It seems a bit over-used in most of those shots. Also, I agree that the first 3 shots look too white and gray. But maybe it's just the morning moniter glare.

Legionnaired

Hmm, what would you guys think about soem sort of blue accent lights to add a little contrast to the beginning areas.

Angel

by the exit at the top, stick a trim there, the textures are offset and look bad <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> also that layer thing would work better if it was a bigger space

Black_Dog

TùThere's not much contrast, in the last shot the green light on the right in the upper level doesn't emit light from what i see.

architecture is poor <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> don't understand why r_speeds so high with a level of detail like that

Angel

Remember Black Dog that their are other corridors and rooms nearby. As NS maps are so big with all those vents, narrow/large hallways the engine will be drawing alot. That is mainly why the r_speeds are very high in comparison to the architechtural, lighting and texturing effects. Overall hes done good. Very good.

Thanks for the support angel, but I nailed nowd the R-speed problems, I cordoned off that room ,and R_speeds dropepd to 150, so I think the engine was rendering other rooms through the holes I left in the walls for future passages.

Anyway they are under control, and I added a sexy airlock doorway like thingy where Angel told me to stick the trim.

God I love vent2, it works EVERYWHERE!
