yeah i dont have a good name for it yet

1. i know that the sky doesnt match the lighting
2. i know that there is almost no 3dskybox

but tell me what you think of it






 
good job! is it a WIP or is it completely finished? also, nice architecture
 
Looking good, Might want to fool with the lighting some more.
 
I like the lighting...but the darks, aren't quite dark enough...I dunno, play with it a little
 
The shadows. I don't know see how it looks if the ambient light is lower.
 
ohh okay, well i will mess with the ambient light a little :)
 
JeanPaul do you have an MSN messenger or AIM name I could reach you at?
 
uhhhhhhh i did. maybe its so small as i have a very high resolution
 
Your resolution must huge if 1680x1050 looks small

It doesn't like bad. Kinda early to tell how it's gonna turn out though
 
purrrr...geometry is so nice i just want to have sex with it. or something...

its the maximum

The maximum resolution? I don't think such a thing exists.

I'd agree with the lighting comments (although people have really just said that it needs work). I think it's too intense. You're washing out the details of the textures, and blasting them into whiteness. This effect might work well in a DoD type HDR setting, but here it just looks over bright. Really nice work overall, though. Good architecture, as someone already pointed out.
 
I agree, the lighting looks too intense. Though maybe it looks better in game, but from the screenshots I think it's too bright. Other than that it looks like it's coming along nicely.
Is this going to be a single player map? We need more of those! :D
 
yeah i agree, its a little to bright, i wil lmost likley put it down to around 1000, or 950. i am also going to mess with the ambient brightness. and as for it being SP, no sorry its a css DE map. but if people really want it i could make it a sp map

The brightness is set higher than 1000?! That's insane!
 
yeah i had it at 1100

i thought it would look wayyyy tooo bright, but it wasnt that bad. just imagine it with HDR on
 
i perfected the lighting, i love it here

i turned down the brightness and yellow. turned up the ambient light

click it to make it bigger
 
Personally, I really like it. A lot.

Though I liked the original lighting as well, which everyone else didnt quite agree with *shrugs*. Perhapse it is my monitor settings?
 
very nice. I'd move the skybox models away though as they are too lo-res to be seen that close. Also lower your lightmaps so I can see crisper shadows.
 
I like the atmosphere. I'm looking forward to the finished version.

crackhead you are so stupid ^_^

how am i stupid. let me make this a little clearer for you guys. i have my resolutuion set to the maximum that it can be. on my computer
 
I asked what resolution you had though. Saying 'the maximum' could be 800x600 for all we know, so what is it? At a desktop resolution of 2048x(whatever it is) the pictures would still be three quarters of your screen, so how exactly are they still small?

What's the lowest you've had the lighting set to? I've seriously never gone over 250 on my light_environment settings and I've never had a problem with brightness
 
looks like a good general look to me. id scoot those made-for-skybox buildings out further though. those can get blurry when they are that close. if you don't want them further back, i'd consider making your custom skybox buildings with some hl2 textures. so that the textures look sharp at that distance.
 
not as of yet, but would you like it more if it was a SP map?
 
definitely - a map pack of single player maps is what everyone is dying for but no-one will make
no-one plays the hl2dm custom maps (bar killbox ugh) unfortunately
 
looks absolutely amazing, love the lighting, altough turn down the brightness a tiny bit. and put more props in, millions of props, litter everywhere! EVERYWHERE!!1

and yes, I would definently like this more as SP, for reasons that john allready stated.
