Maps about 40% complete..it takes place on a run down prison island which the inmates trashed and left...screens are below - some of the areas are a tad bare/undetailed/black and empty but then i have got quite a lot to do

Looks nice man, good use of lighting there.

show some screens of your 3D skybox mate

It's nothing but water at the moment

by **BaRRaKID** on Mon Dec 27, 2004 5:18 pm

keep it like that.. it looks great

Nice.
Maybe the skybox should have a little land? like an island instead of a floating prison - there is a car there after all.

It's going to have some land yes, theres a road at the front gates which i have to lead into a fake skybox road, im just having trouble lining things up at the mo, im gonna put some distant land and a lighthouse in there too somewhere, like i said, its just water 'at the moment'

looks top class so far, im loving the lighting

Yeah it's coming along nicely... How's the lag with all that water? Or is it not as costly in a 3d skybox

by **snufflez** on Tue Dec 28, 2004 5:59 pm

so long as u put cheap water in the skybox then it should remain fairly low. just the idea of this map reminds me of half past dead.

by **PaulH** on Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:15 pm

Not seen it, heard it was pants

The water in the skybox and out is cheap, so don't worry bout that...there is some lag issues at the mo but im only compiling on fast build as the long one takes agggesss (like a day or more)...to be expected tho-the map is a big open area (plus a big building at the end and an underground section)

looks great! :wink:

Somehow reminds me of Riddick :roll:

Looks cool

Ack why do people keep saying it reminds them of something or another

If you must know i thought of a map with a rundown base on a tropical island, far cry style...turned out HL2 sucked for palm trees etc so i lost the tropical feel, the base became a prison, the sea stayed...basically i made it all up as i went along...so its as original as i can be :p

by **Jasard** on Thu Dec 30, 2004 1:18 am

heh, i dont think they are saying you copied anything
