i am taking a short break from the dark temple but i wanted to do something in JED so i started this project which i am currently calling "Frag-o-Matic Trouble"

[http://members.aol.com/DrkJedi82/jed/fom/01.jpg]
yes i know there is dflt... but keep in mind i just started on this not that long ago and i plan to do quite a bit with this

[http://members.aol.com/DrkJedi82/jed/fom/02.jpg]
note... the little texture there was a randomly picked one to remind me that that strip is there to be retextured

i'll be working on this when i'm not working on the dark temple

This means that dark temple is never getting finished. Trust me, I've seen the process hundreds of times, and been through the process myself hundreds of times too.

yeah and the bounce pad is to make you feel like the dice in that game.... and also get to the weapon supercharge.

does this look better as a bounce pad to y'all? the other one had too much of a stone like feel to it...

I didnt mean it to be insulting, But seriously, it lack detail. You could get away with a lot more than that and still keep the framerates high and not be anywhere near your adjoin limit.

Stop thinking up excuses sot that you don't improve your level. It looks like you've made a good start, thought prehaps you'd like to consider adding "rims" to the walls... maybe a third texture between the floor and the wall would help it look more natural. Of course, if you simply can't be bothered, just tell me or ignore this post; I don't care for explanations.

May I suggest recessing that water texture into the floor by a small amount? And make it translucent and a small water sector underneath that you can splish around in...its alot more realistic. Also if it's not supposed to be water but marble, try adding a reflecty floor.

It still doesn't look right. Is it supposed to be marble or water?

If it's marble, I suggest adding some more floor textures. If its water, maybe add a grate that you step on and just see the water underneath and have a water running sound. Maybe put some lights on the lips of the recession above the grate as well.

And yeah, add a sky in the parts where there are currently wires.

Its coming along well though.

first it's water...

second i want it to make the splashing sound for gameplay reasons...

third.... NO the wires will remain unless i find a better looking texture that had the same idea going for it

BTW... its STANDING water not running water

Hehe, alright...then at least add a different texture under the water and SOMETHING on the edges so it doesn't look like its just part of the floor. Wires, lights, anything...
