Ns_sekhmet Screenies

Toothy

My finished map, but I'd prefer not to release the map itself just yet since I hope to submit it for pting.

Screenshots:

An outside view that's not actually possible to attain in the map, this was done using noclip but it looks nice.

The same area, Marine Start, but from the inside.

I must say I like this map. This map seems to have piece of realism still. Those windows and stuff, I am just loving it.
I hope to play it one day.

<3 unloading bay. easily the most exciting part of the map. The architecture seems pretty good all around but there's a lack of useless details.

BulletHead

Aye... it's... green?

NICE use of the green lighting <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Very few people seem to use that smecksy green colour 0o'


I'd be interested in playtesting... go to nd.grumpyland.com and post the request on the forums (you need to register) OR go to www.2frag4fun.com and post there <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> either one I'd be willing to help with <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Mr_JeburtO

You're using generic textures.

Please, don't.

The lighting is bland as well, generally it has a bland feel to it. Nothing too exciting, though that first outside shot was pretty nice.

same as ati. and the architecture looks pretty blocky in some parts of the map. cutting up some brushes to "guide" the eye of the spectator would help here.

BulletHead

True... not the most interesting...

but certainly it is eerily realistic 0o


in a Sci-Fi way

0y, outside w_polys looks > 1000

When I looked at first shot I thought this is something very unoriginal and cool. Afterwards I realised that architecture being quite simple it still looked very interesting and fascinating. I think that outdoors darkness vs indoors brightness + white glows + snowing summed it up.

I don't know what "generic textures" means, but I have to agree that I don't really like the result with those textures. I have seen this same effect in some other maps too. It could be just that the lighting is very uninteresting and lacks contrast, but I doubt that is the main reason. If you, with "generic textures", mean the texturing style in outer sanctum (the cs style when you use same texture over and over again covering groups of brushes) then I agree too.

The main reason I think people have avoided using colours like green or light red is that they are very hard to get fit with ns textures. Myself, I find it very problematic to find a good colour lighting for that black ns2.wad texture. That is why I don't like using it. :/

[OT]
and for the realism's sake.. I still see many "useless" rooms in this map (like all the other). This part of the post was directed to Kabuum.

tell me what texture u using in the glas and settings i wanna that config glas on my dome farm =D

Lt_Gravity

generic textures are a hl relic in my eyes. they were used to quickly cover large brushes without any details that could indicate tiling (too much). I dont know why this textures had also been added to the ns wads because they look crappy, no matter how they are placed. and we are talking about "over-usage" HERE <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Find me an NS map that doesn't use them :-)
