Looks nice, what exactly do you mean by model limit? Your personal polygon limit, or what the engine can handle?

What the engine can handle. Because of the sheer size of this map, I have to limit the BSP polygons and delegate the higher poly stuff to scenery. I have two massive pieces of scenery that comprise all of the detail in the buildings. I'll be splitting them up into separately renderable pieces, but I hope I don't hit the scenery object limit, or any weird rendering issues (hopefully LODs help, but then I gotta deal with a model limit(?)

Also, it looks ok in-game.

The HUD colour seems to whack out alot when overlaying brighter parts of a map.

Is there something you could do about that?

I wish. See, halo has this thing about meters that it can't have any alpha opacity edits. If anything is brighter than the meter, it gets washed out completely. I could go in depth on some work-arounds but they still suck.




A little dirt-concrete blend experiment.

How long do they have? *sheds tear*





looks good apart from this part:



Though it just looks like a bad uv.

What could this possibly be for?

omg toten nacht reconfirmed :O

An uncomfortable looking wiwndow.

how did you made those fences?

Kino Der Toten please...

rip Rerout </3

Still got the things that CADie boy gave us a few years back?

I haven't checked if there is anything related to these window types. So far it is just Kirby and I's work.

@flanker
why not put a rock scenery over this, fixed.

300 or so tris just to cover up 1 uv mistake?

You've been with altis for too long.

its worth it bruv

Git back to baking my stuff!

the next block is based off of something familiar...

It's going to be a college campus with the design of the Nazi Zombies map Der Riese from Call of Duty: World at War\Black Ops.

All interiors will be explorable, but during the Zombies mode, the area will be cut off in the same way as in the real game.

Looking good but the forerunner arrow is a little out of place imo.

BTW the 1911 fp origin is a little off putting.

It looks like it's pointing at the crosshairs.

I should have elaborated further.

It's placement in relation to the hand that is holding it is too far to the right.

IMO it should be closer to this:



(I'm referencing the pistols position in the grip of the hand not the orientation of the fp setup it'self. Just the gun in the hand, not where ever the hand is pointing)

Blame ImBrokeRU (at least I assume those are his animations).

The gun model is ripped from GTA V and it's proportions are a little weird... It's currently rigged to the CMT pistol animations. I'll look into replacing/fixing it soon.

hyped and loving it

Here's an old concept video of what we did before. I never had the video unlisted, but I forgot I even uploaded it (I spent a while looking for it on Kirby's channel thinking he had uploaded it)

Now we will have a larger BSP that will allow us to take advantage of all the modding tools available to create a larger, more open world experience.

Omg an open world map with no restrictions?
:o

Op will surely deliver let's wait and see!

I made some progress.

This is a bridge connecting two separate building areas


Part of the Vehicle Maintenance garage:


Added a little more detail. Will refine it later.

That brick texture repeats a few too many times.

Oh put a brick in it.

This is looking like it is headed in a really solid direction. I like the initial layout and the scaling for the interior spaces. Urban done right.

If you want better looking bricks have the whole texture have the same brick color. Then use this as tiled detail map set to multiply(you can lower the resolutoon to 64x64 and set the mipmap type to nearest)



This is the result.

Nice tip moot!

Thanks!!!

that's awesome.

I'll consider using that brick tile for another one of the textures, but it seems to lose the worn bricks effect because it tiles so well.

I modified the texture so that the tiling is less visible.
New:


Old:

Not as good as mootjuh's result. But alot of the repetitiveness has been reduced.
