Robin, may I make a couple of suggestions?

1. The wooden frame above the arch, may I suggest rotating the texture to a 30 - 40 degree angle along the Z axis to make the structure look more (planked) I think this would probably tie in with the engineering concepts of the period.

2. The orange lighting above the door looks a little un-natural unless you place a lantern prefab from the beam, which I presume you may do as the map developes. Unless it's positioned further away to form a sunset scenario from an outside perspective.

All in all, very nice work

Paul.

Thanks for the comments Apex,

I'm not absolutely sure what you mean with your first point, but if you're reffering to the textures not matching up at the edge of the wooden / thing then yeah I noticed this too - I'm going to fix that.

The actual objects casting the light aren't there yet, but there will be a sort of chandelier with a torch on or something like this which will be hanging down from the ceiling (I'm going to add this in DBP, but I haven't done this yet). Outside it is night, but there is moon and starlight (the pale blue light drifting in the door and windows) which is shining on the building. All the inside will be lit by torches on the walls and on chandeliers etc. I was planning (if I can) on adding some subtle visible blue light coming in the two main windows (ie. making an object of some light rays positioned where the windows are and ghosting it) but I've got to do some experimentation.

Here's another screenshot, this time of the exterior, which hopefully will show the buildings shape a bit better:

Robin,

Yeah, the first point was based on the idea that the wooden texture looked parallel to the horizon, where each plank seem looked straight, whereas a wooden roof made from sectioned planks would look angled, i.e. the seems would be angled at a 30-40 degree angle from the horizon. Although this is a minor flaw and can be fixed quite easily.

Your outside shot definately emphasizes the building much more clearly, being it's a night scene, and looks very good . These are the sort of buildings that inspire ideas etc. Although my favourite map scene yet has to be the interior of the defiled church in RTCW where you have the stained glass windows etc. This really rang bells over here

Paul.

Robin, much better .

Now that the texture's rotated, you might want to fine off the edges of the base planks, i.e. vertex manipulate the base points. In anycase, the map looks awesome and very attractive.

Hope my comments were not too critical

Paul.

@Fxtc:
Great maps! but you can make them better if you work more on the textures and add some details...
And why do you use the same texture?? Make a texture for each wall. If you made this map for a shooter or something like, add some bullet holes on the textures...
How much time did you spend making such an awesome map and how much time to calculate the lights?

@Snaz
It are only prefabs,therefore have not good textures.Now don't know whether will houses broken or new.One prefabs I am doing perhaps 2 o'clock.Lights do arithmetics perhaps 15 minutes on AMD 2,4 ,512RAM it is unpleasant wait so long all these prefabs are for FPS game.My position on team is programator,but I sometimes draw these prefabs.But if somebody can do - good textures,prefabs or maps desing,so is able to add to us to the YDsoft team

Here is how I did windows:



Once I figure out how to do the lighting, it's going to look pretty cool, I'm just working on this to try and use in db with the csm importer.

Nice designs guys. I really like the castle and the street one looks good( I like the white light one that you posted on the other topic).

Nice work everyone!

I decided to start a new castle and make it more 'castle like'. I always find it helps to get as many refrence pictures of the type of building you're going to be making (off google or whatever) before you start. I used several pictures of Hogwarts castle to get ideas for this one. The below is still a WIP ie. I've bearly started on it
The empty space behind the windows will be filled in with rooms, I just haven't got around to adding them yet...

you should prevent overlapping polygons. as you see on your picture you will get z-fights in different engines ( especially DBP )

Holy Shiznit robin that's beautful especially with the lighting Nice Job.

Hey Nechronos, I have overlapping polygons in my picture I posted, could you tell me how I would make it so they don't overlap like that. Is there a way to cut the overlapping ones?

Also, how do you import models like .x trees, statues, or arches etc. Thanks.

the only solution is to move vertices until they don't overlap anymore.
It is possible that the effect around the windows are caused by wrong normals ( didn't think of that ). Against that you can't do anything within CS as you have no access to normals

Rodan,

Also, another cause of overlapping polys is that if your frames for the windows or walls contain hidden faces, i.e. two cubes side by side where the faces touch. You can remove these faces by assigning the caulk texture to these faces. When exporting, either via the .X exporter or importing your maps into DarkBASIC Professional via my map importer, both of these methods will physically remove the faces from your map. This sometimes removes the problem of Z fighting, and also improves overall map display speed.

Paul.

Necronos : I think I see what you mean now - are you on about the polygons around the windows nearest to the camera? I'll have another look at that. It may be that I accidently copied the windows on top of each other.

Here's another pic of the entrance bit of the castle:
