Cave Creation

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I recently looked at the movie about Blackheart Manor, which blew me away, Its awesome to see that a MOD of all things, looked at that impressive. The caves were really sweet, which brings me to this post.

 

I have an idea for one of my maps, it involves a cave, to make a cave, do I do that in darkradiant? Or is that a seperate thing?

 

I'm used to the hl2 way of displacement on the brush.

 

I also tried to find some doom3 cave tutorials, and the links are all dead.

 

Thanks,

 

-HC

 

ps. I think there should be another link on the nav bar on the site, that says MOVIES, that people will actually know their are movies without having to scroll all the way down.

You always have the option to model stuff in another program an import it into Doom 3, but that is more advanced. You can already make pretty good cave areas just using patches. You would make the general layout with brushes (such as a cube room), then add in some large patches for the walls and floor and celing, with lots of vertex manipulation to make it all lumpy and curved in the corner areas, etc. Just experiement with patchs and dragging the verticies all around in different ways.

Cool, Thanks bro, I forgot how handy patches can be.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
