how would one go about doing something as badass as this?:

High-res bitmaps and high-res bump maps + specualr+some other shader tricks+light ray shader (god rays) + righ quality radiosity + dynamic light+ lots of portals and a small, low-ish poly map. Did I miss anything?

ffff why so perfect D=

but yea thats all

I think the the lens flares + dynamic reflections are what is making it so cool.

he uses a fog screen aswell, he probably forgot about dust particles, but yes the lens flares in the shape of godrays are smart.

dynamic reflection is ftw too, but hardly anyone uses it because they want to "optimise"

hell, that map should have been bigger.




hey i dont want to threadjack or so, but how about we remake the valkary map in a much bigger enviroment? add in larger tunnels, more floors, to make it more interesting

i've been modelling and texturing a corridor by random, so it just popped up in my mind:


im amazed that 3ds max didnt had anisotropic filtering on by default D=
