the Toronto one isn't in Toronto but in Montreal
Google images lies, I should look at addresses more often.
Post more steampunk! I'd love to mess around with a bit of steampunk architecture..
Im thinking of hosting a steampunk contest after the winter one, but there isnt much inpiration for level design steampunk style. Mostly art deco or early industrial, or a combination but... yeah [img]http://th02.deviantart.net/fs23/300W/f/2008/004/e/5/steampunk_mecha_by_ZackF.jpg[/img] [img]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/289/b/a/Art_Deco_Tech_Hallway_WIP_by_ZackF.jpg[/img] [img]http://brmovie.com/Images/Locations/BR_loc_Bradbury_int2.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2386/2511681893_4dfd87721b.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/photos/uncategorized/2007/06/27/images_piclarge29163lounge_and_turb.jpg[/img] [img]http://dvice.com/pics/NautilusHomeTheater.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=laptopman;18479193]Im thinking of hosting a steampunk contest after the winter one, but there isnt much inpiration for level design steampunk style. Mostly art deco or early industrial, or a combination but... yeah [/QUOTE] Those looks amazing
Just reference, not mine. The unreal tournament is epic though. fyi.
I think the issue with Steampunk is it is a lot of small detailed stuff usually and would require modeling more than mapping for a lot of things. [editline]07:58PM[/editline] [img]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/04/SteamOcto_Final1280.jpg[/img]
Yeah, steampunk usually does have a lot of detail. Thats what textures, bumpmaps, specular maps, and only mapping exteriors is for. Althoguh for a campain one would need such models.
Holy shit a mount Everest map would be awesome. We could make it so the higher you got the more harsh the conditions are. Would be a shitload of displacements though.
Those look lovely, laptopman, keep em coming, and I-ll try and throw some stuff together for concept drawings...
This thread needs to be renamed. TO FREE SKYBOXES

[QUOTE=laptopman;18518910] [img]http://www.visualparadox.com/images/no-linking-allowed-main/airship800.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I was about to verbally hump you, but then I realised it wasn't something you'd made. ._.
Source could do much better at that scene then that.
i know. Im just running out of reference pictures here. Someone wanna help me out o bit?

If anyone wants to use my airship model in their steampunk maps just PM me but be prepared to texture it yourself, nobody's managed to get it textured yet despite numerous tries.
Picture of said model? [b]Edit: Found it.[/b] [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=407720][img]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8554/airship6ay6.jpg[/img] [/url]
Ooh. Ill take. Unfortunatley it will have cruddy textures, as i dont UV. Just texture projection
It's UV'd, just not textured.
[QUOTE=PLing;18540846]It's UV'd, just not textured.[/QUOTE] I'll give it a shot.
[url]http://www.cgtextures.com/[/url] so far provides a decent amount of textures. They do have a lot of textures but out of all of them, some are good. I used to use them but they would rarely come out good after said model is exported.
They aren't really textures, they are base images for textures. Most of them don't have tiling and look bad unmodifier, you don't just slap those on a model and called it textured.
[QUOTE=PLing;18545235]They aren't really textures, they are base images for textures.

I do the whole UV exporting and editing through Gimp but in the end the models in game look terrible.
