why do the batts look so small...?

in any case the lighting is good and bright... but perhaps a bit too bright. you dont want it washing out your textures and being so oversaturated especailly indoors.

o_multi · 06-21-2005, 01:00 AM

they do look small, and also lower too

o_robg · 06-23-2005, 12:36 PM

Ah c'mon the third screenie looks so much more like TFC. Why are you all going for realism, this isn't Counterstrike (or Counterstupid as I call it roflolly!).

o_etzell · 06-23-2005, 03:55 PM

The whole map looks small. Like something some billionaire would build for his kid on a whim, to model his giant house. Make it bigger! Open it up! Copy the original dimensions!

Oh, and DUST TEXTURES LIKE WHOA!

o_thedarkone · 06-27-2005, 11:18 PM

I don't think it's that it's smaller, but that the map feels like it takes place in a ditch, rather than in a series of canyons.

Makes the walls higher!

o_kayuni · 06-28-2005, 01:44 AM

The third screenie has a nice feel to it. Albeit the lighting needs work, and the edges are too soft, it seems similar to the original Badlands.

o_morrow · 06-29-2005, 05:37 AM

Yah lighting has to be the biggest issue in all maps you have to nail it or else it makes the map look like it was thrown togeather at the last minute (which is far from the truth)

I like the first screen tho i do agree with everyone that Badlands was better in the bright orange canyons. Mind you Source is an upgrade :P

Good luck with proping. To remind you. its called badlands should be some like decapitated Cars in the canyon.. make it look like it drove off a path or something

just for your information, those are the original demenstions.
only becouse of the displacements it looks a bit larger

next update will contain a bit darker indoor and more "cubic" (or how do i have to call it) rocks

New screenshots with team textures:
(no lighting changed)

The sentry platform at the base entrance:

The base

The central bridge

The yard in front of the base:

Blue resuply

Central bridge (again):

o_player · 07-11-2005, 01:08 PM

Do those wires stop you from walking off the edge? or can you walk through them?

**mervaka** · 07-11-2005, 01:22 PM

its looking good.. are you planning on adding a bit of vegetation in though? it looks a bit bare atm

o_ginger lord · 07-11-2005, 01:40 PM

Bridge out of bases looks weedy and thin. Needs more beef.

o_fresh · 07-11-2005, 02:25 PM

looks good, im unsure how bunnyhoping would fare on the surface but thats abit of a suck-it-and-see thing

all i would say is that the rock enterance to the bases off the bridge looks a little narrow, along with the bridge enterance exit, and the canyon could be a little "deeper" so its not so much like a dried up rive and more like a MONSTEROUS CANYON SCORCHED BY THE GODS.

o_kam · 07-11-2005, 02:29 PM

Yeah scale looks a little odd

o_travis dane · 07-11-2005, 03:51 PM

Indeed, a couple things are a bit off. I'd suggest making the vertical rocks more yellow, and lean them back a bit the higher they go, otherwise it looks like a man-made passage way of some sort. The level could also be a little more lightened up, and scale everything up a notch, otherwise it looks just too small.

That aside, the map looks pretty good. It sticks with the TFC style of mapping (bright, clean and simple), which is always a good thing.

o_imbrifer · 07-11-2005, 05:07 PM

The repeating textures is kinda annoying, maybe consider increasing their scale and/or rotating them?
I think the bridge looks a little simple: add some detail brushes or displacements to it: make the entrances on each side rounder, make the tops round or add some lights/other features, make the bridge a bit thicker, and make the concrete areas under each side of the bridge be more prominant - come out more towards the center of the bridge, and maybe out horizontally as well.

The entrance to the between-bases bridge looks plain - add some arches, railings, or other dimension to the walls and/or floors.

The bridge to the base looks sort of thin and plain - maybe add a border on the sides?

Blue resupply looks beautiful. You definitely have a solid direction with the map and you are doing well. Keep up the good work

o_morrow · 07-11-2005, 05:40 PM

I like it just Fine

how did you get that nice little glow to everything on the outside (im UberNooB)

Oh and i like the Bridge with the Cables think it looks Dandy.

probably loading the map in garry's mod

o_drtom · 07-11-2005, 06:41 PM

looks really nice

fd bridge is too narrow, needs to be about 25% wider, the supports on the bridge are too big and bulky an the texture doesnt fit the scheme, and as someone said the wires on the bridge need to be pass throughable!! or you mess up alot of concs :P

o_the phenom · 07-11-2005, 07:05 PM

Good re-do.

I'd ask you beef up the bridge, and the slopes outside of the bases, make them more slopy.

Also add some height to the outer cliffs.

Otherwise looking good, keep it up.
