This is the start of a mortuary located in the town of Winsetty. So far, there isn't much to look at, but once I can get ahold of some coffins and what not, I'll show more. Also, my giant fridge will be located in this level. You have to "die" in order to get into it though. And there's a trick way to die in here that will nab you your cool spot in the fridge, but I'll let you figure out on your own how to.





Tell me any pros or cons you want. Again, keep in mind this is just the start of the level, but the basic texture scheme and architecture shown will be the overall layout.

Why is it in all JK levels, the soda machines are squares.. Maybe it's just the USA, but here was have rectangular soda machines :-p Other then that it's nice.

Needs more detail. Maybe more interesting archi.

No in the USA most soda machines are also rectangular.

I just said that....

I said his soda machines are square, and most of the ones I see are rectangular.

[Edit: Yeah, my comas weren't in place and I can't spell...sue me.]

hmm reminds me of LoG3, but nice idea...

please release sooonnn...


I like levels like those

Actually, the soda machines weren't made by me. They are 3DO's available to download here. So, any architectural problems you have with them you can take up with the person who made them. I haven't really read much about LoG3, but I've seen shots from it, and Grismath is doing a great job with it. As for the level architecture, I'm not sure how it could be made any more unique since it's based on current day buildings, and I haven't seen an abstract artsy mortuary yet, so I dunno. There are some archways though that lead to other rooms, and lots of curves, so hopefully that will hold many of you over for now.

For anyone saying JK is dead, they are quite wrong. I like it except for the lack of some lighting, even just an errie glow would have been an excellent choice. I will get this level primarily for the giant fridge, a nice idea that I wish I had of thought of I can't wait for the next couple of screenshots.

The scale is way off (not just the soda machines). The wooden border around the room shouldn't be the same height as the walkplayer. Border like that generally comes up to the top of my stomach at most, and I'm 6 feet tall. The ceiling should be much, much lower. I think you're going overboard with the circular architecture. At a certain point, too many circular areas takes away from the realism factor.

Sorry, I'm not usually so opinionated.

I like the way it's turned out so far (high ceiling and all). Remember, if you try to make everything scaled to kyle in a level, you can get some unwanted, tight camera angles (unless you're using first-person view). I know that there's such a thing as having too many curves, but I think that I haven't hit the too many point yet. There's actually only 4 corners that I've made into curves so far, and there's more non-curved than curved so I don't think that that will be much of a problem. The thing that I want to really get going in here is some descent lighting. Does anyone have any clue what the light settings are set to for the field light in game? I'd like to know because it seems to be just right in some areas.

WRONG. You're choosing to use it in it's current state instead of finding a better one, or even just editing the one there.

Jedi can do 3DOs, so there's really no excuse. If you can make levels you can also make 3DOs.

Woah Mega, settle down there. SAJN was referring to the soda machine 3DO's that were in the screenshot. I said that I did not make them and that he could talk to the person who did about their architecture. And yes, I can make my own 3DO's, but right now, I'm mainly working on the level itself, which is why you can't see any other 3DO's in any of the screenshots. How is any of that wrong?

So apart from the ceiling height and lighting, is there anything else that needs to be fixed/added?

I would suggest you add more 3dos (tables, plants, desks, etc.) In fact, come to think of it, I would love to see some beautiful plants shrubs and ferns in a "greenhouse" sort of area. That might be a bit outside of the level's theme, but it would at least look great (assuming you could pull it off - not sure I could). :p

If you're interested search the Massassi files section for "Heart of the Forest" and "Ortheza" and perhaps contact friend 14 for some great foliage. If potted plants will do, I would suggest looking through the Massassi 3do section once more.

Yes. It doesn't look like a mortuary.

maybe kirby can make some 3do's for you Trige....(I mean the Sodas)

and btw these SM are not squares..Did you never played Phoenix City.....

Well, I don't want to overload kirby with 3DO requests, so I'll just look for some around here first.

Some updates. Working on the staff lounge. Also starting to make some 3DO's. The first one made is a trash bin.





The next section and 3DO that I will be working on is the parler and coffin. More updates to come.

nice, I can't make 3dos

Here's a few more shots. This is the main entrance. You can tell that I'm having some mipmapping(?) problems with some of the textures (mainly the doors and picture). Anyone know how to fix this?
