The ~Official~ Facepunch Map Pimpage/WIP Thread V15 - Developers

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;40756200]blue light often makes scenes uneasy, which this thing is trying to accomplish[/QUOTE] IMO, your sunlight looks unnatural. Have a white light with a slight blue tint, then make the ambient blue instead of what you have now. Also fool around with fall off distances. Long shadows have a scary effect.

Here are these new Metro LL textures I was talking about earlier (the bricks at least).

[t]http://f2.braxupload.se/zux6k3.jpg[/t] got that fog working bretty good

All the lights are way too bright if you're going for the cliche fake Swedish horror look.

[QUOTE=Armageddon104;40760347]All the lights are way too bright if you're going for the [B]cliche fake Swedish horror[/B] look.[/QUOTE] say what

You said you wanted it to look swedish, and since it's obviously not even close to the real architecture and it's following the Cry of Fear black fog stuff I thought you were going for that.

[video=youtube;XnXOt0fC5hs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnXOt0fC5hs[/video] Experimenting, as a modeler I don't like brushes too much, most visual stuff there is models, the downside being not having player shadows on them, unless someone knows how you can get player shadows to cast on props?

I'm not sure why Valve didn't add a shadowcatcher brush, it'd be so useful to just spam those tightly fitted to the model geometry so you can have RTT shadows.

I remember someone here once saying that animated displacements should theoretically be possible, anyone know if that's true, and if so how to go about it? I've been messing about with displacements and refracting textures and stuff today, seeing if I can make anything resembling waves. Sorry about the horrible visuals, I'm just testing this out. If I could get it to work, the waves'd probably be bigger and smoother. [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/q9FPMdU.jpg[/IMG_THUMB]

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;40764415]Animated parallax mapping would be a cool proof of concept.[/QUOTE] I don't know much about parallax, would it be able to give enough of an impression of depth? I guess it would be possible just to make an animated model of the waves - though lighting might become an issue.

[QUOTE=Armageddon104;40758778] [thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5479044/arma_lighthouse0000222.png[/thumb] Console commands are fun.[/QUOTE] Which command is this?

I added this sort of junction with signs and shit [thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/13540830642081628378_2013-05-25_00001.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/13540830642081628378_2013-05-25_00002.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/13540830642081628378_2013-05-25_00003.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/13540830642081628378_2013-05-25_00004.png[/thumb] the signs will most likely be placeholders, and I haven't got around to finishing some of the buildings. also i dont know how to write in cyrillic so i just put some random letters together :v:
