Art Pass Contest: WIP Megathread! - Games

Something dark-ish RED, at least something that isn't bright [editline]01:35AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Mad Chatter;24742177]RED EVERYWHERE I increased the saturation by 45 in Photoshop and decreased the brightness by 50.[/QUOTE] Now it looks TOO RED -snip, fucking Double Post-

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2951174/contest5/m42_1.png[/IMG] Changed the colors and windows, better now? [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2951174/contest5/m42_2.png[/IMG] Building near B

Yes, much better.

I thought your map was a bit iffy, at first, but now I'm really starting to enjoy it.

New work done! [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2951174/contest5/m44_1.png[/IMG] Added a few trees, buildings outside of the playing area. I'll have to join the two detail areas soon. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2951174/contest5/m44_2.png[/IMG] Changed the colors of the building over here, and added some cables. Fixed the roof issue, thanks for letting me know, Jetti! I didn't notice it. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2951174/contest5/m44_4.png[/IMG] More over the detail area. Removed a row of greenhouses to reduce the cluttering and have more space for hills. And finally, a little overview of the map :). 60% of the work is done, I just need to get over at C. I still haven't figure out an idea for it which would go nicely with the rest of the map. Does anyone with a bit more fantasy than me have any idea? :P [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2951174/contest5/m44_3.png[/IMG]

Even if it doesn't win, do you still plan on releasing your map as a custom one Tera? Because I think it'd be amazing to play.

Tera wins. :aaa:

[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;24785094]Even if it doesn't win, do you still plan on releasing your map as a custom one Tera? Because I think it'd be amazing to play.[/QUOTE] Of course. I'm also planning on doing a video like the viaduct one where you see the evolution of the map trough all the versions. Hence why I currently have 44 versions of the map. [editline]08:45PM[/editline] Oh and, an idea me and a friend just worked out. A grain processing and bread production factory. Blue are fighting to take possession over it. Would it work?

Yes, but it wouldn't explain why there are palms in the greenhouses. Maybe get someone to model some wheat and replace the palms with it? Also, this map'll probably need a custom skybox.

[QUOTE=Happyfaic;24786646]Also, this map'll probably need a custom skybox.[/QUOTE] Uhhh...

uhhh what

[QUOTE=Happyfaic;24786702]uhhh what[/QUOTE] It already has one. Also, palm trees in a greenhouse make perfect sense. Palm trees need to be kept in a moderately warm environment all year to survive, hence the greenhouse. Wheat makes less sense. You don't grow wheat in two tiny greenhouses,you grow it in vast fields that take up tons of acres. Use your imagination some, man. Maybe the RED team wanted some coconuts.

I have a guess as to why they would want the coconuts.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkCZRnB3VFg[/media]

fine :saddowns: no wheat also I meant skybox as in the little box that shows the stuff outside the map, not the sky texture

[QUOTE=Happyfaic;24787222]fine :saddowns: no wheat also I meant skybox as in the little box that shows the stuff outside the map, not the sky texture[/QUOTE] Oh, well that's a given. That's not what mappers generally mean when they say "custom skybox". They mean "custom skybox TEXTURE". If a map doesn't have a 3d skybox it's completely amateur and not good at all. [editline]04:22PM[/editline] Most of my maps don't have 3d skyboxes :saddowns:

Well, the skybox makes a map way more detailed and immersive

[QUOTE=NanoSquid;24787596] If a map doesn't have a 3d skybox it's completely amateur and not good at all. [/QUOTE] not true. some valve maps dont.

That's because they don't need them, they look fine without them However, your map looks kinda empty without one since it abruptly ends

[editline]04:22PM[/editline] Most of my maps don't have 3d skyboxes :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Problem with TF2 is that there will always be some way for the player to get high in the air, which throws most LOS rules from HL2 out the door, Plus TF2 has very little Skybox props which makes it hard to sell the endless desert feel.

[QUOTE=Happyfaic;24787879]That's because they don't need them, they look fine without them However, your map looks kinda empty without one since it abruptly ends[/QUOTE] he's obviously planning on doing it last

[QUOTE=Chilean;24788157]he's obviously planning on doing it last[/QUOTE] i'm not sure I'll do it.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS;24788366]i'm not sure I'll do it.[/QUOTE] you pretty much have to with how abrupt it is. do a simple rip off of the Harvest boundary at least.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS;24784972]New work done! I just need to get over at C. I still haven't figure out an idea for it which would go nicely with the rest of the map. Does anyone with a bit more fantasy than me have any idea? :P[/QUOTE] It could be a botanical lab, like with killer plants and poisonous flowers... It could be an orchard, with C as the processing plant (maybe they grow fruit to fund covert ops? idk)... It could be an observatory, with a giant telescope over C... It could be a R&D facility, that is filled with fancy equipment and blast marks of things gone wrong... Ummm....thats all i can think of for now. Good luck with C !

Looking great Tera. Hope you win :biggrin:

[QUOTE=Chilean;24789005]you pretty much have to with how abrupt it is. do a simple rip off of the Harvest boundary at least.[/QUOTE] just to clear, i am not copying harvest in any way. it was done by a mapper who i dont agree with [editline]01:27PM[/editline] [QUOTE=dire_luck;24789338]It could be a botanical lab, like with killer plants and poisonous flowers...

[QUOTE=TerabyteS;24787836]not true. some valve maps dont.[/QUOTE] The only Official map without a 3d skybox is Nucleus and that's only because you can only see into the sky.

I hope you win tera, your work is Awesome :D

Uhh Trey I like the progress so far but the helicopter hovering has no real purpose there. I don't think a pilot would just hover in a mercenary filled area.
