PranQster's mapping thread

[PranQster]

Interior construction is underway. I have roughed out a couple rooms, the parlour and the kitchen, and connected them. If I can get them looking good, then I'll expand construction into the rest of the dwelling. It's going to be interesting when I start visportalling. So far the actual rooms are square on the grid. Patches make angled walls along with angled floor textures to simulate each room being at a different angle. I haven't adjusted the angle of the entry-to-parlour area yet.

Hmm... must experiment with new room building techniques later. I'd rather rotate whole rooms, along with textures, all at once to those small angles. Building patches for all walls, and then rotating the patches and textures, seems a waste of resources and time. Plus it makes it harder to put in doorways.

And yes, that was a pipe on the bench next to the guy. I'm trying to not leave out any detail.

Nice!

Now, all we need is some smoking amins...

oooh the first thing I thought of was the hobbit.. :-)

I probably can't do this map without risking the ire of Saul Zaentz (spelling) but I am making it anyway.

The idea of making each room on its own angle is being thrown out the window. I'll need to make the rooms on the grid or I will never get this done.

Updated views (from late December). Will get back to working on this some day.

Very nice!

 

I would experiment with the patch inspector to see if some tris could be shaved off from all those round parts, without degrading the looks too much.
