Projects - map in progress

[ray mysertio]

well i got an urge to map and decided to revive my old Projects map...

below are mages from 3ds max 9 with custom and edited textures with crazy bump's excellent normal and specular generation:

[EDIT] images removed see below for updates.

Map layout interests me more, always and this is just a staircase so I can't judge. :)

Tilings are kinda visible, but it's ok for WiP.

Tiling on the wall is awful.

Also you need to improve your settings on crazy bump.

well noted guys, weekend is work time in the house but next week ill make the textures look alot better i hope, i think the stairs look pretty nice tho... i redid the diffuse and spec so it doesnt show patterns ofwear, will render after major updates to the wall tiles are done, and a new concrete texture with no cement lines.

btw the only texture i didnt create by hand was the wall tile, not that im special but im fairly impressed with the concrete stuff.

thz.

i can see the tiling on the wall but apart from that its pretty good.

[ray mysertio]

thz...

got a re-work of all the textures for more fluidity amongst all of them.



lighting will be fairly dark when imported and setup... shadows and light direction will be a key to its look which i cannot replicate in max without a major overhaul of the scene...

specular highlights will be tweaked in material editor for a cooked-tile sheen with gloss.

Looks good to me, although the tiling on the wall can be seen I wasn't really bothered.

[Gui Brazil]

Looks good to me

Since you're into audio gear and all that, here's your analogy: It's as good as an ibud or skullcandy.


This is how it's supposed to be.

[ray mysertio]

its difficult to tell since the major visible wall is curved with unique uv's... the tile does infact look uniform now except where uv's do not apply.

i get what you mean though.

[VaNilla]

The tiles that you posted definitely look better, but I still like his too to be honest :P.

Don't even bother editing out my opinion, please. I can still see Rays messages in the Topic Summary section of the reply page, you shouldn't hide it.

Yeah looking at it for a while gives me some ideas... i think the yellow grunge is good for a dirty look and will break things up ill see about breaking up this texture and make a pattern then tile it smaller...

If i could for a few moments, let's talk about particle collision in maps: Does my geometry require anything to keep chaff and smoke particles looking normal? I plan on building a shell for each room so that it is sealed with exception of the doorway+windows. And the hall tiles will be modeled also with a doorway. Will this work Ok?

Sure you like, just like people like their ibuds. This is because you don't enough experience or knowledge about what's happening there. And don't even think about saying that thing of "you don't need to be able to do a movie to see if a movie is good or not". ;)




That would be unacceptable in ANY game company and even in this mod because, it really is, THAT bad and whoever has a tiny bit of experience with texturing wouldn't even consider leaving it the way it is.

[ray mysertio]

so what are you saying?

you made me look bad because i dont care about a single texture during a wip stage?

[Gawain]

why does anybody care about some noob job from a spamming idiot anyways?
