So, what are you working on right now?

[Bikerdude]

Those fog shots look expansive and open, much larger than we have seen in TDM before

 

@Erh, as before if you need a hand you know where I am etc.

[ERH+]

@Melan: Waterfall is a thin triangle (or diamond) of water volume, with tdm_waterfall_light.prt here and there, and tdm_waterfall_light_splashes.prt at bottom.

@Biker: This foggy cliff is surprisingly light for engine, at my low end PC I get not less than 30fps at wide angle from far corner of this area. I guess lack of lights is really beneficent.

Now that is some sexy screens! Though I gotta agree that it may look a bit edgy at places, the geometry is just fantastic!

[pusianka]

This is great! And so much!!! You're like a very creative machine

[Obsttorte]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaawesome!!!

[Moonbo]

Wow, those look great. Really nice use of arches and curves!

[Springheel]

Great stuff, although some of the brick use looked a bit off, like using bricks for stair railings.

[someTaff]

Canals are really sweet looking, ERH+! And other things too!

Argh...I really need everyone's help on this one. I'm trying to create an imposing entrance made up of a very large building cut into a cliff face. I've tried two different setups and both of them suck. Here's the one I think has the most promise:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know what the issues are but I can't think of any solutions. First off the whole thing looks short and squat, like a fat brick just sitting there, which makes it much less imposing than its size should. Second I'm worried that the individual pieces (especially the columns) are too big and plain which makes the scene lack in detail.

 

The obvious solution is to vary the height of the building or the depth of the facade, but I can't think of a way to do that that looks good...any thoughts (or suggestions for an entirely new setup)?

[Sotha]

Your scale is rather humble in order to make an imposing entrance.

 

Try this:

You could even have climbing gameplay on the facade: an entrance or two on the higher floors.

Whoa, wait a second. People actually make maps in TDS? I thought that modkit was supposed to be unusable?

Monobo, columns are point consern? They looks kinda fat. And that ringy thing at the bottom of columns will be better if sharp edged and smaller. And perhaps downscale textures. Otherwise looks worthy of an epic entrance!

Neat! How did you add a current to it?

[Moonbo]

Thanks Sotha & Sometaff, I'll try doubling the overall size of the space I'm working with for a start, and fix the columns. Thanks also for the Petra reference shot.

Unusable is said too much, but it is tricky for sure.

Just a force field with "uniform : 0 0 -400". http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Func_Forcefields

@ERH+ -- Looks like hours of fun exploration this map! Can't wait.

Is an underground one or an outside one, if underground I am PM you a screenshot of something you will find usefull.

[Moonbo]

@Biker - underground.

[Bikerdude]

@Biker - underground.

I'll drop you a pm when I get home this evening with some SS.

[Sir Taffsalot]

@ ERH+: Good God! Those screenshots are better than porn!

Kvorning, is this a contest entry?

[Kvorning]

Probably should make it, but I haven't looked into what kinda contests there is I've just seen people with titles.

 

Will look into it and give you a straight answer later
