This is looking good.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

On a second look, the scene could use some lights to bring life to the architecture. It is a bit too evenly lit. The stained glass windows are ideal candidates

Problem is, there are no lights the other side of the glass so it would look wrong, but I will see what a custome selflite glass with a nice low value looks like.... On the dank, foggy, washed out night the mission is set the colours are just as they should be..

Very nice!

 

Biker has clearly brought his (already great) graphics to the next level. The scene has so impressive organic patchwork it is difficult to discern where the basic boxy geometry is.

 

Maybe you should share your secrets by writing a patch mastery wiki-article?

A distinct Rocksbourg vibe there...

Not meaning to beat the "woo, Dark Mod is where it's at" drum, but missions like Rocksbourg, while beautifully constructed, kind of make my eyes hurt. I think the Dark Engine lighting couldn't keep up with everyone's texturing ambitions.

 

...End of heresy.

Every time someone posts such a beautiful shot, I hang my head, say, "Oh well," and go back over my WIPs to play catch-up.

 

Nice work, BD.

 

Hey man don't sweat it, with each map comes more experience. I'm sure I'll enjoy playing yours just as much as his. :)

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Biker, dude, this look almost photo-realistic! I'm very much looking forward to your FM ^^

My Eigenvalue is bigger than your Eigenvalue.

      I don't think The Last of Us part I is a good game; it is something else in terms of pure audio-visual experience though. The attention to detail is insane, especially in sound and animation.

      If you find the new Beatles song "Now and Then", which was created with the help of AI, totally boring, then you should better play the mission of the same name by our esteemed mission maker friend joebarnin, because the latter is actually a creative milestone!

      Idea: Thief 3 style missions.
      One of the great features of Thief 3 are missions defided in small segments with loading screens when you move from segment to segment. We all miss those right? I was thinking of mapping only horizontal, so not stacked. When you go up or down (stairs or elevator), you get a 20 seconds fake loading screen where you can play a minigame (The Builder's Blocks?). After that you get teleported to a different area that seems to be on top of the first, but actually isn't in the map file. It's much easier mapping, because you can see everything in one glance from above. This could also give more freedom building, because it doesn't have to fit. Everything is predictable because guards don't move to different sections.
      This could be used for the Thief 3 contest possibly..
