I felt like JO editing. So I did something..







I haven't been doing editing for a while because I'm lazy . Anyway I decided to do a project of around 12 missions for JA called Rebel Command. And, yup, they will cel-shaded. I will post details later..

These pics show a small portion of the first level. Notice the simple textures and details (sorry if my graphic card made the line blurry). I need your comments Massassians:

Should I keep the "complex" skybox with this level? I feel that I should because for the atmosphere (and I worked hard on it).

Should the inside of the building be more complex with brushes and/or textures or should I keep it simple?

Well, I'll post more info (and help wanted) later in this post. This levels might take a while to complete because I have more work to do in my life this year.

P.S. I'm impressed with the other work in the Showcase these days.

keep the sky and the visual feel you have going with the simple textures

That is amazing.

The sky looks fine now, but I think a more "cartoony" sky might fit the theme more perhaps..

yeah, very XIII-ish,
That's really good, I like that sky, it's a nice contrast, makes it look interesting.

keep the skybox!!! it looks great. textures are a bit simple, but it works really well with this level.

famous last words: i dont meen to sound like a dolt,.....bbuuutttt.

with AA cranked up that will look beyond awesome, great Job. Keep the skybox, a cartoonish sky would look like what i just stepped in outside. That being said Im gonna go clean my shoes. Keep up the good work!

Stop comparing cel shaded stuff to XIII! This is much better than that. Honestly.

Well, thanks for the comments guys. I am keeping the skybox the way it is . I never played XIII but I have with some other cel-shaped games.

As for the messy black lines for the cylinders and stuff, that is a shader problem. The shader isn't perfect but, well, it does a good job. If you can improve the shader or do some programming that will help the lines, let me know! The simple textures will be a constant theme throughout the levels.

As for the models, that's the hard part. I'm not that advanced in 3d modeling programs. I may need to ask for help. I seen that it was done before in Quake 3 TA with the models. The problem is that the models with black lines can harm framerate. If it kills the FPS, I may just make cartoonish skins.

The levels are in a project I'm making called Rebel Command. You get to move Rebel soldiers and either make them follow you or place them to guard. Basically there is a planning and thinking as well as action. This is for JA so you can choose your mission

If you want to help or ask a question, plz email at tokey101@aol.com (put massassi on top otherwise I'll think it is spam. No "sexy" names to "drag" me in too)

Also, don't mention Pokemon in front of me..

Kowabunga! That is like totally radical.

Dark, cryptic, mystifying...this is Delphian.

It's JA? LIGHTBEAMS WE NEED!

------------------

Pats GothicX's back. Great idea I forgot about the beams.

------------------
"The Tenloss Disruptor was outlawed throughout the galaxy because it's such a stupid gun"

... why should we? Comparing a cel-shaed FPS to a cel-shaded mod for an FPS seems fair game to me.

and, as I just got done playing the XIII Demo, I can honestly say that, no, this does NOT look better than XIII.

That being said, it looks excellent. keep up the good work.

------------------
Moo.

I think it looks better than XIII. A lot better. XIII's "cel-shading" for the environment is just low res textures. It's terrible.

Nope, it's JO :'(

You can do light beams in JO anyway.

JO and JA's lightbeams are convincing, if not as much as in Star Trek Elite Force II. But as for a comic book look, some very simple light beams would do it justice.
