spam away that's what this thread is for [editline]10th February 2014[/editline] also I quite like the look of that but I think the lighting should be a bit brighter still

How would you fine gents go about a 3D skybox in a city? My level is set atop a skyscraper (changed from forest after advisement), and my 3D skybox right now is a series of rectangles and oddly shaped buildings :(

[QUOTE=cyclocius;43853388]How would you fine gents go about a 3D skybox in a city? My level is set atop a skyscraper (changed from forest after advisement), and my 3D skybox right now is a series of rectangles and oddly shaped buildings :([/QUOTE] Sounds like your off to a good start, working with the scale of a skybox can be a pain sometimes though I would recommend looking at the textures under the search terms "building" they are useful for skyboxes think they are from CSS though not sure or hl2 that's my option for your best bet. Use a method in your skybox they goes the first buildings are detailed then behind those they are less and then less after that also try making small buildings.

After a short break I am back working on the structural design. I try to make it as realistic as possible using models and a little bit of brushwork. The entire structure is about 1240 unit tall. ( not counting the arch window ) [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/595901984331926580/191E892DD5556553FE50F0AB72BC008AE99EF8E7/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/595901984331928064/927383E32CB4E91A3E42360E64BF3C4778850822/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/595901984331928996/637D4E4330D7CA4001F1B502159EBA4927C7A4B2/[/t]

[QUOTE=oskutin;43857317]They're sheetrock panels?[/QUOTE] I pondered about that for a moment but the texture really looks more like concrete than speckled and painted sheetrock.

select it, ctrl-shift-w, f9, go

[QUOTE=~ZOMG;43860333]Yeah, if you're a pussy[/QUOTE] and you want to spend 100 brushes just on one interchange which would be more expensive to render than a model anyways.

[QUOTE=ThePhailed;43858040]What's it supposed to be?[/QUOTE] Some sort of industrial train docking station for the importation of materials of the old Aperture Science. Most of it is underground but the rooftop is the surface.

Made a little mini park: [thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/3299187912255900241/D29F97273FFDC94D75FA2EFC2B04D7FE19CA38B1/[/thumb] Needs work, like trees benches and bumpy lands and maybe a little pond.

The same place from my map, but with specular mapping enabled. The floor, ceiling and wall tiles are from metal, not concrete or plaster. :p Also, since it's a section where is the crew supposed to live, most of the walls are covered by metal panels, with machinery, utillities and insulation hidden behind it. Beyond that are unpressurized maintenace spaces, protected by a thick metal shell of the spaceship (along with protection against radiation and high velocity objects) [T]http://gyazo.com/37d20d9704bdaf8480c784fc043ee447.png[/T] Maybe this place looks more like a spaceship. It's from the maintenance / engineering portion of the ship (Floor 01), but still isn't detailed, as it's quite heavily WIP. [T]http://gyazo.com/ee31523e5f52d083ffd16411bdea482f.png[/T]

It also needs way more exits.

I would advise taking the time to learn blender so you can make a prop replacement for things like that.

It's going to take a bit more fiddling to hopefully make it work, else I'll have to remove the exploding part and just have it fire AR2 grenade models like really big bullets.
