Update on an old WIP project "Destroyed House" - Developers

[highlight]NEW STUFF WAS/IS ADDED, PLEASE LOOK DOWN THE THREAD FOR NEW PICTURES[/highlight] I didn't want to go revive my old thread, and i think it already got deleted. Anyway, i started working on a destroyed house (most likely going to be for posing/maybe ZS). It's supposed to look like an old, crumbling house. Weather it's because of neglect, nuclear apocalypse or something else, i'm not sure yet. It's still WIP, but i think i'm almost done with most of the major work, all i need to do is add a few more details and start work on the outside/surroundings [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0000.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0002.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0007.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0003.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0009.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0011.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0005.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0006.jpg[/IMG] Yes, i need to fix the cubemaps. I'm going to take out the dev-orange textured beams for wood once i'm sure i don't want to change anything else. It's come a long way from this :v: (this is an early picture) [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house0000.jpg[/IMG]

I remember this map. Very nicely made.

Thanks, anything you think should be added? [editline]01:36PM[/editline] Wait, my map is dumb? :saddowns:

I recommend stairs; or at least something to get up to the second floor. Also, more clutter if it was something like a nuke. If it was supposed to be abandoned, then it's fine.

Pretty nice man... I kinda want a backdrop... Possibly a fence around it then as a 3d skybox, a large arid desert with that road stretching off a long ways before fading into the dust.

Father Grigori: Better and better!

so only insane monks like it? :frown:

I don't know about this, but it seems to be lacking something. Maybe a different skybox texture, that doesn't look so happy. Otherwise it looks good. :)

Well, by insane monks, you mean that it reminds him of his good old ruined Ravenholm, then yeah, you could say that.

Very nice! How long have you been working on this project?

I disagree, I like the skybox. For some reason.

Changed the skybox, roof texture and fixed a few small things (orange dev. beams, better shadows) [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0012.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0013.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0014.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0016.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm48/Esrande/destroyed_house_roof0018.jpg[/IMG]

Make the stove set up on fire when used and explode when shot at around 60 damage, giving smoke at the first shot damage.

[QUOTE=kukiric;17763941]Make the stove set up on fire when used and explode when shot at around 60 damage, giving smoke at the first shot damage.[/QUOTE] I can always make it explode in a shower of metal and fire, leaving the surrounding area on fire

I liked the old skybox better...

Stove now goes boom, a neat little trap for anyone trying to sneak in the back

wow. i really really like it. I'm not one for zombie survival, but for a mini build map it looks great! just wondering, the orange beams gave it a nicer look, would it be possible to have a map with them back? :P

I was thinking something more on the lines as this for the skybox [img]http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/7/77/Sky_ep02_06.jpg[/img] But its your map, and I don't know what games you have, so do whatever you think would look nice (lol get it)

-snap-

looking good i think you should add some stairs or atleast the remains of some

Looking better and better.

[QUOTE=Firegod522;17774814]Looking better and better.[/QUOTE] YOU STOLED MAH LINE! It's cool. It really is.

The brushwork is great, but you could improve on the lightning. Great work all the way though !

wow, i cant wait for this to be released, it looks really cool. make sure it has phys props so some parts collapse when you walk on it. not too many though.

[QUOTE=Oxu365;17792349]The brushwork is great, but you could improve on the lightning. Great work all the way though ![/QUOTE] Like changing the ambient light, or adding more light inside the house?

[QUOTE=Oxu365;17792349]The brushwork is great, but you could improve on the [B]lightning[/B]. Great work all the way though ![/QUOTE] What lightning? :v: I don't see a problem with the lighting at all though.
