that shot is beautiful

Thanks..

I've been workin on the Exterior a bit as ProjectX had mentioned the clouds were too bright. I think I have somthing that looks pretty good. I was just wondering if you all think this is TOO bright or just about right?

here are two shots from the main gate area...

I was going for the bright moonlit night effect, just not sure if its too much..

Looks fine to me.

Random tip though - if you want to make the edges of staticmeshes glow a bit, use lights with a small radius and the light type set to AmbientVertex, and just play with the brightness and placement till it picks out the vertices you want, could a nice glow on the moon-wards edges (might even glare off if you have a system capapble of running with Bloom turned on, but since I don't I'm not sure)

The lighting seems great for me, and the skybox fits it perfectly now. One thing I'd do is search through the mesh browser. In there you can find a mesh that you apply to building corners that look like individual bricks sticking out, really adds a nice touch to the look of any masonry. There's also a wooden version for indoors.

Hello all,

Haven't really done any serious mapping with the unreal engine since Deus Ex and a brief stint on The Cassandra Project.

I suppose that changed when I saw the release of T3EnhancED on these forums. This is what I have so far after a few hours getting oriented.

hoping to make something a bit more grand in scale than seen in DS.

The screenshots look a bit dark, but they often need to be processed before putting them on the web. Have you got some sort of theme for the mission?

Van Valentine on 8/2/2006 at 16:19

Aye I guess they are a bit dark, I think it is my monitor which is a little to bright. I will fix those screenshots. It's not as dark in the game as it is on those screenshots tho. ;)

Well I've tried to make it look like it's from the age of 1500. The whole area is a huge Hotel which is haunted. There will be books and stuff that gives you some ide what actually happened, and there will be a pretty large crypt under the whole hotel. :tsktsk:

The missions are still under construction so I will come to that later on...

The environment and atmoshpere is "very" creepy, well even I who is working on it get pretty scared sometimes. For you fellas who really like these scary maps will probobly love this one. :eek:

i think the walls could do with a bit more decoration, you know, support beams, old paintings, shelving, cupboards, that sort of thing.
