JA is sooo much prettier than JO!

Well, still working on that SP level. I decided to get JA, so I switched the level over to that. So, in between work, I've been trying to get something accomplished on this level. Pretty much all I've been doing is completely retexturing the level. There's only a few new pieces of arch. Oh well, flame away.

Here's the old level:

And here's the new one:

I still haven't done anything to that empty wall in shot 1. Can't figure out what to add there. Oh, and it's not that dark ingame.

I love the moody 3 shots, the last three, but the lighting in the first one seams a bit lacking.

Thanks, but you do realize the first three are old shots of when it was for JO? I was using ambient lighting just to show the arch. in the old shots.

Wit the exeption of the ship, the JO shots kinda look like a JK level without much lighting; the JA ones... wow, definitely better.

Yeah, the JA shots look very nice. Good work.

In the second JA shot, the handrail of the walkway is rounded in the corner, but the walkway itself is not. Maybe you should round also it.

I agree w/ JM. JO and JA are roughly the same, both running off the Q3 engine. If the JO shots were lighted properly, they'd look roughly the same as the JA ones.

Well, glow is a real difference between JO and JA. And it's a significant difference.

I turn glow off. Because without it, my framerate jumps from a steady 15 to a steady 60.
