I'm very much liking what I'm seeing from everyone so far, despite us all being so early into this. Already it's easy to see a variety of talented individuals coming through in their work...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's looking forward to losing yet more sleep. :)

You guys have already seen two shots from me, but I've already been losing sleep just to T3Ed alone... I haven't mapped for anything in ages, and being able to come back to it for Thief 3 is rousing up the overzealous dork in me.

Basically I'm giving my best shot at building the creepiest atmosphere I can muster, which so far involves an ominous setting nobody in the City knows much about (other than wildly inconsistent rumors), (http://www.theoppositeofyes.com/temp/sammapr2.jpg) uplifting readables containing happy feel-good sunshine rays, and custom-made atmospheric music that does not actually work in-game (spooky! yes. i know.) For those of you who aren't fond of cave missions, fret not; the caverns seen here are only a precursor to a variety of other strange places.

Right then. Nap time.

I began my journey into editing a week ago... so this surely isn't the masterpiece of masterpieces, but it's a little something. :rolleyes:

At least I'm proud of myself. :cheeky:

I won't be using T3Ed or making an FM with it, but here's a little lighting tutorial I'm working on - just a picture on how to do radiosity without decreasing performance.

(radiosity = bouncing light, to soften those ugly hard shadows, where even if a light is burns like the surface of the sun, it still casts pitch-black shadows, and you can't see *anything* in them.)

What I always fear is if people have their monitor brightness low, and I have mine high, obviously ill map my lighting to my monitor setting and people will find my map soooooooo dark :cheeky:
