...And did you know, you stairway lies on the whispering wind...

More OTS2 shots. These are unlit, but most of the textures are final.

Shot one. A close up of the side of one of the elevators. Yeah, I know, it looks weird.

Shot two. Same elevator, top. DOnt worry, Ill up the scale on the grate texture before release.

Shot three. Looking straight up an elevator shaft. Ill up the mipmap distances so the textures dont fuzz out so bad...

Shot four. Bottom of the shaft. Down there lies peril, doom, and lots of powerups! Oh, and traps. Nasty death traps.

Shot five. Second floor, looking down. It looks better ingame.

Shot six. A corridor leading to the elevator.

Shot seven. The center . . . area . . . this is where the level . . centers . . yeah . ..


Comments, questions... No flames, though, Im sick of the flames. Death threats are welcome, though, I havent had a good death threat in awhile.

Hm... Nice... Lovely... A real OTS level. Would like some shots where the light is Calculated.
But wait... What's that I see in shot 6? AHA! The Jukebox!
Nice.

You think the title is creepy? At the exact second I opened this thread for the first time, that exact line came on in the song.

It looks really awesome, even unlit. The texturing is excellent and the architecture is great.

Only suggestion I can make it change the mipmapping distance. It looks quite horrible specially in shot 3, 4 and 6. Double it at least.

By the way, what Suzanne-esque does it have? I mean, is this particular Suzanne like an elevator, always going up and down until she breaks apart or something? Just curious, I'm not trying to bash you or anything.

Looks bland. Architecture is nothibg spectacular and the texturing is repetative and clashing.

Increase the mip-maping distances. And I agree it could stand to have even more detail added, especially since most of your curves are concave inwards, you arent anywheres near your adjoin limit yet. Or you could add more 3dos and stuff. Especially in the last shot... Something like a couple of floodlights playing across the walls would be cool.

I like it... but I agree with the more detail comment. You can definately fit in a lot more detail before getting even close to adjoin limit. I like teh floodlight idea. In general, looks great. Especially shot 6.

Sure, until I actully make a level called "Stairway to Heaven", but thats a ways off. I want to finish off the OTx series before I start any music-themed levels.


More shots:

Shot eight. Close up of one of the teleporters. The effect is done, Ill have shots up later.

Shot nine. Just enjoy the curves. Nothing to see but the curves...

Shot ten. Big arse vent fan. Theres another directly above this one. Oh, and 14 others throughout the level. It spins, and makes a funny 'whirly whirly' noise.


More shots later...

Actually, those are remakes of DF textures. Not just influenced by... but the same or very close anyways... I could give you the texture names, sadly enough... zdimplg4 and iwurb1... Though they seem reminiscent of the remakes for the DFTC for JO. As for the JK textures... Kill them, please... No level should ever use the original JK textures... Can do so much better than them. Mipmap distance, definitely fix. Set it to a pretty good distance. Uhm, as for the elevator, add some variety in the texturing... throw in some with dirty metal as you go up, broken beams, tangled wires, whatever, make it vary more. As for the corridor, new textures. Choose a single color tone for the whole corridor, a set of texture which naturally blend with each other. And shouldn't those things actually touch the bottom of the elevator to move it up and down?

The level will look much better lit. But no, Im not gonna take the effort to find replacements for every bloody JK texture. Ive already replaced most with my own modified versions, those I havent I dont see the reason too.

Try not, do; or do not.

I totally agree. Why are people gawking over what is no more than an average showcase, at best? Of course that's just my opinion, I suppose shouldn't go down playing a level that doesn't live up to the standards set in the past three years...

That's not that curvy.

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

Perhaps not. But this and this and this and this are. OTS2 isnt really about the curves, for a good reason. OTK and OTC, on the other hand, are all about the curvage. OTS2 is about a delicate balance of opposites, all focused on a single point. Its a theme. Accept it, and move on. And for Pele's sake, stop flaming me. My flame-resistant pants are starting to heat up, and I dont like it.

O_o

No offense, but you're like a newbie Q3 editor that just discovered patch meshes. You're sticking curves on every corner, but I don't think you realize that it doesn't mean you have good architecture, or that it makes a good level. Those DFLT shots you posted look a little better, because of the pillars.

For architecture, you just really need some more variation, or some more actual detail in design, not detail in polygons. And, textures...

Wow, that is really good GBK. I hope that I'll be able to make levels as good as that.

Girls? What're those? Can I eat them?

yes, but i don't advise chewing them up, as you'll never be able to eat them again, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.
