Eldritch Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 Hey all - this is my first real attempt at mapping, and i'm making this stage for my clan, JEDI. It's almost done, so i'm just looking for constructive criticism and your opinions on ways you think I might be able to improve the stage. I've put up some screenshots here: http://members.aol.com/firstborn1981 Let me know what you think. -Anakin
rolsen Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 Most impressive. I enjoyed your contrasting color selection. Gives a nice flavor to the map. I'm going to try to get back into mapping myself, and finally finish the map I started earlier in the year.
Wes Marrakesh Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 Greetings from swampie to swampie Very nice map... not much to say!

Heh heh... gotta venture out of the swamp at some point, eh Wes? And thanks for your comments rolsen. I added a couple more lights to the map, but unless someone can think of something drastic I should do, i'm not gonna have anymore WIP shots - I'll just release it. -Anakin

adillon Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 Originally posted by rolsen I enjoyed your contrasting color selection. i wholeheartedly agree. along with the contrasting colors, i was really impressed with the contrasting textures/materials you've used. the stone-like finish against the more sleek/modern staircases and lighting and floor finishes gives this map a wonderful variety ... LOTS OF EYE CANDY! keep up the great work!
Leslie Judge Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 I like it. Maybe some light source would be good. I mean the lights are mostly just there without a source (and a few red light with white lamp). It's not a problem though.

I mean the lights are mostly just there without a source (and a few red light with white lamp). It's not a problem though. That's already been taken care of - the shots are from the last compile, not the most recent. The lights in that compile (in some places) were scattered haphazardly, left over from earlier work where I just needed to see stuff. Now that it's almost done, it's been cleaned up and light sources have been added. On a side note, i'm wondering what my next project should be... any ideas are welcome. -Anakin
buckman Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 Hi JEDI_Anakin_S map looks fantastic, nothing to say about it really, as someone mentioned, lots of eyecandy. keep it up -Buck out
WhiteShdw Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 Looks good JEDI_Anakin_S. Looking forward to it's release.

Thanks WhiteShdw... love what you're doing with Shadriss on the DoTF map, by the way. I got a question for you, though. I'm considering starting a new project - Hogwarts from Harry Potter (as seen in the movie(s)). I think the place is really interesting, but i'm gonna need help on the textures... i'm probably going to need a lot, and I don't know how to create them - so if it isn't too much trouble, could you point me to some tutorials (or even better, offer your help in the creation)? Thanks again. -Anakin
Wes Marrakesh Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 Actually, Anakin, I started here, then went to the swamp
Eldritch Posted October 19, 2002 Author Posted October 19, 2002 Really? My first ever post was in the swamp, so I started there, but I didn't stay long. I wandered around the rest of the forums, then eventually came back to the swamp, as everyone must do. -Anakin
teutonicknight Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 Wow, those screens look real good. Love all the little details
Eldritch Posted October 19, 2002 Author Posted October 19, 2002 I'll have some more screens up tomorrow... I've made a couple of changes, and improved the lighting, as well as adding the necessary weapons and health, armor, etc. What I would like now though is a beta tester or two... -Anakin
buckman Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 ill beta-test it for you, i can maybe give some feedback about the leveldesign, the playablility and so on...

Thanks again. -Anakin Sure, i'll help you out if you want, but i'm not really a texture artist. What i did with LDJ's map was look at his textures and make improved versions of them. I hardly created anything completely new. But I like your idea, so i'll be happy to help out.

Thanks a bunch WhiteShdw I really appreciate it. Looking at some reference pics... it's gonna be huge, so i'm gonna need all the help I can get! And Buckman, I don't have a place to host the file, so how big is your email inbox? -Anakin
buckman Posted October 20, 2002 Posted October 20, 2002 i think its 5 mb, but once i get it, i can put it up on my webserver if you want.... -Buck out
Eldritch Posted October 20, 2002 Author Posted October 20, 2002 I just have to do a final compile, then i'll send it over.
