here are those 3 images with tweaked gamma, the last one is my favourite!

I'm liking that last shot as well. Nice use of colours with simple architecture.

[Springheel]

That last shot especially, with the orange/blue warm/cool contrasts, looks fantastic.

not sure if its the gamma bump, but I'm getting a TDS vibe from those shots.

I HAD THE SAME FEELING! We are bros from now on...

Nice. Wishing we could really dirt up our streets though.

[Fieldmedic]

I will try and make a custom grime shader and layer over the street, but it's a bumpy one and bumpy streets generates lots of tris...grime means double of that...

[demagogue]

I realize that. (I remembering overlaying the dirt patch on my roads.) Weren't we going to experiment with something like just embedding the grime into the original texture and using it as a custom texture, or something like that? Anyway, not even a showstopper, just the only thing I had to really comment on.

Well I've been trying to think of other ways to make good looking streets. Having rough gutters going along the edges, between the road and sidewalk is another thing maybe. The buildings all look great and are laid out well.

[Bikerdude]

Looking good there Medic!

Indeed, I really like the creativity invested on the building forms. Texturing streets (in my little eperience) is always a problem, specially when you have wide streets like that (with a lot of surface to cover) - maybe you could try a grittier cobblestone texture? I tell you, if we had CoD's Radiant painting/blending of textures and decals, all the problems of creating richly textured surfaces as a mapper would be over.

From time to time, COD Radiant comes out of nowhere and drolls my saliva everytime...

[Baddcog]

Hammers got the same feature, would be awesome to just paint grime in blends in editor instead of making a model to vert blend.

[RPGista]

That splittable, mergeable, growable triangulated patch also would be really cool... DR's nurbs patch is nice for certain geometries, but this one is so much more versatile and controllable it seems, you would feel tempted to create the whole map with them (specially because they have soft move, to control all those vertices organically).

Oh, yes, this would be really nice to have.

[Sotha]

I especially drooled at the arbitrary alpha blend that was just thrown on the road/dirt interface. Magic!

[AluminumHaste]

Wouldn't this also require game engine support? I'm sure their alpha blending technique is also applied in the engine which our Doom 3 lacks.

[Tels]

It might be addable. The "vegetation fading" also needs engine support (the engine only supports 50% fixed opacity), so this might get fixed at the same time. However, there are currently no people working on it, and we have waay to many other things (and almost noone working on it, either).

[nbohr1more]

Sikkpin recently showed that you could use Red, Blue, Green and Black in one large texture as "masks" that
specify what sub-textures are doing. Looks like he just used Doom 3's native material blend system...

[rich_is_bored]

That looks like vertex blending to me. The only reason you can't do it in TDM is because the vertexes for patches/brushes don't have a color property.
