Mirrors Edge : Source Source Project (April 23rd 2011)

Ooh this is looking beautiful, Vivi! What's the trick to your lighting? It's so soft and nice, colours buttsexing each other in loveliness. Whenever I map I get the typical dead, sterile Source look.

What's your secret?

[Generalvivi]

I do believe the secret is all in the dev textures "reflectiveness" I choose a dev texture with a bunch of reflect % so that it would catch colors easier and reflect the orange better. The light itself is a simple environment light with about 800 brightness and a light blue ambient setting which is turned up to like.. 100 or 150.

How about where the ladders are, have an animated (scrolling) arrow on them instead of the ladder texture.

yeah that will make a lot of difference you'll notice, instead of using the generic 200 the brightness is usually set at.

there's a "player distance" material proxy, you could easily use that to tweak the color values of some props and create runner vision.

You like?

[Chopium]

I like, but the diffuse and specular maps on those gloves could use some noise. You got the skin just right.

[stoopdapoop]

Also could use some phongage.

[Generalvivi]

Ha! looking sweet dude ^^ I saw some gloves on csbanana that were pretty sweet also. Will you be adding a small tattoo?

[Psy]

What are they? Covered in oil or something?

What are they? Covered in oil or something?

Yes, for better grip.

[Echo51]

Oil wont help on grip from experience but try grip oil, used on the tires for rc racing

A few screenshots of materials,props and art I will contribute to the map.
Everything (except for the small concrete base of the pillars) is custom.

Pillars with stainless steel corners.

Armchairs and an abstract painting.

Cubic shelves and abstract paintings.

Cubic shelves.

Looking nice. You should get to work on some of those outdoor textures and props though!

The pillars don't really look like stainless steel edges, more like those crappy plastic covers, but it still looks nice.
