ff_badlands
 

The full map is ready, the only thing that needs to be done are the details, like good textures, props, lightning, skybox, ....

Looks good, but the lighting does not match the sky at all and the map looks out of place.

Needs a 3D skybox as well.

indeed, details :D
skybox is the last thing i do, this sky texture is from half-life source, that explains the low quality, i'm trying to create a good one, but thats not easy
i'm also waiting for the official team textures :D

The before retexturing looks so much better D:
Hope you find some good textures for it and the lighting looks way off~
Scale in some parts looks a bit off too :>

Oh and turn up all graphics stuff before taking screenies (mainly AA and AF).

whot do you mean by that?
turning of the hud?

Setting your graphics to maximum settings, with anti-aliasing and AF (don't know what that is) turned on. It makes for some pretty screenshots.

don't think so, if i put anti aliasing on, i will get a very dark image (totaly black :D) (i have a ATI radon X600Pro) and i got the same in other games (like nfsu2)

*EDIT* nope, i got that problem with v-sync

AF = Anisotropic Filtering

are there console commands to toggle those ?

They're in the options/video/advanced menu.

I dunno- I liked the way the TFC Badlands were stuck in the canyon. This version makes it look like they're close to the top, and that the canyon is all soft edged. :/

yeah make the canyon and the moat around the base look more like jagid rock and not so much like dirt

The outdoor setting in the old screens was much better, currently, the map looks a bit empty and plain. The third screen shot shows this. Where as in the first screen, the setting looks more atmospheric and the building goes better with the grass texturing.

Remember... badlands is actually a place in a desert type area. The overall feel of it should be 'hot' and muggy.

i changed the textures becouse lots of peoples asked to change them to a more canyon feeling, so i did it :D

And the soft edges will be sharped, after i've found the right texture :D

The third picture just does not feel right at all.

there was a wall in the right side of the 3rd screenie , with a high ramp a solly / medic could reach.

Looks like badlands in TFC which is good but It need some architectual details IMO

wait, where is the entrance SG supposed to be now ?

looks good though

Tough cant wait what Eat has for badlands. 8)
