Baal's Beta mapper application


Baal

Recommended Posts

Greetings,

 

i did some mapping experiments with the latest Darkradiant. Using the resources from the Thief's Den demo and Doom 3 i produced a (very) small area.

As it's getting difficult to work with the limited assets i would like to apply for a beta mapper position. Some critical feedback would also be welcome.

That was fast...

 

Thank you. It took me a while to get something presentable and i think it looks a bit better in the screenshots.

This area is supposed to be some kind of sewer, claustrophobic, wet and cold etc. There is water but i haven't found the best way to light a water volume yet ( i am still experimenting with the doom engine ) so it's in the shadows.

Very good! I like the use of contrasting lighting inside and at the exit of the tunnel. I also really like the texture alignment! When I see unaligned texture I feel uneasy, it's some sort of weird pet-peeve or obsession of mine :P Also the architecture shows great detail, and given the limited assets I'd say you have my vote.

The underside of the archs doesn't match the texture on their sides, but I like the bevels and the archs, lighting and mood. So you got my vote, too!

Thanks for the comments.

 

@Flanders:

I think its better to let others judge. If you have to stare to long at the same piece of architecture it can get ugly. ;)

 

Regarding the other comments:

Lighting is not done yet. The general tone is set but there wont be as many lit torches. Their light is far too cozy for a dark, cold sewer. The contrast is nice though.

Texture alignment is also not perfect in some places. I don't know how many textures are available with the current Darkmod assets but most likely they will change so i didn't put to much work into it. I know the arches texturing needs some tweaking but the current texture doesn't fit that well anyway.

      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).
