Gm_WestBaltimore2042 - Developers

Gm_WestBaltimore2042 is a concept map of my vision of the projects of West Baltimore in 2042. I guess in the end it could be used for an Rp map. Its a gritty and dark look into the future. However its not too different from the present day. This map has been influenced by films like 'Brazil' or 'Blade runner' and of course, the streets of Baltimore. Oh and 'The Wire', A tv series. Features i hope to add. - Many enterable buildings. - Working machines ( tourist information/ Tv's/ Vending machines/ and Robots maybe) - Lots of detail. - Transportation - Lots of atmosphere - Custom textures and sounds [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/boltimore0037.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/boltimore0038.jpg[/IMG] The bill boards are animated textures.

Wow, looks really cool. Keep it up!

looks pretty sweet so far man

Really nice look you got going there, but there are some areas that could do with a little more attention to detail, those steps in the last picture for example... And some of those pipes could do with a little variation methinks.

Looks amazing, Keep it up!

I like this a lot. Quite an interesting rendition of a dystopian slums-like under-city neighbourhood. You deserves an art.

The sky is too dark. Even at night you'd be able to see some cloud detail (lit by the streetlights) or stars.

I cannot express my pure, unconditional, undying love for underground civilisation maps/stories/games. This looks great. The steps, leading up to the houses, need retexturing.

Thanks for the comments guys, i'll work on the steps and sky.

Also, the bill board is stretched. Probably wanna fix that.

:golfclap:

The point_spotlights in the third pic look rather wide. Other than that, this is beautiful. The lighting, the texture choice, the prop placement. It all looks clustered but in like a cozy way :smile: Keep it up bro.

Looks very original, continue.

I like it alot. It looks like it's been hidden underground.

Win!

Very original.

Although the houses may look the same, you should make all the staircases different. [editline]11:30PM[/editline] I like the dark eerie feeling of this map.

Looks even more awesome than the first time I saw it, those alleys look pretty cool. I love how it looks, continue this fine work mate! :smile:

I really like the idea, great attention to detail, it's just I find the billboards a bit cheesy and put off the mood, faceposed citizens don't make good models for billboards imo. But good job on the map so far. I hope you finish it

Is the whole place supposed to be underground? If not you should keep it. It gives it a "paved over" feeling. Out of sight out of mind, shooed under the city to hide the dilapidated buildings and make way for the future.

You should include a recycling facility and a detention/extermination part.

Out of sight out of mind, shooed under the city to hide the dilapidated buildings and make way for the future.[/QUOTE] Thats exactly what i had in mind. And thanks everyone for the comments. Also, i wanted to show everyone what the billboard looked like animated. (might start off slow, let it load.) [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/colagenneedles.gif[/IMG] I had this in mind.

Am I the only person who actually doesn't like this map that much? For me, the lighting ruins it.

Yes. [editline]09:11PM[/editline] Woah. Maybe OP should stick to mapping; not posing.

Make some skybox buildings in the background, Make the sky all fucked up from pollution

Amazing work!
