The sky sucks.


But unlike you kirby, I am not going to make my appreciation for the good aspects of this level tacit, and I am going to say that this is the best-looking level I've seen all year. :p
2006-05-28, 9:53 PM #50
In all actuality, I rather like the sky. It gives a darker more foreboding feel to the general look of the level. The textures, particularly the grassy/planty type textures, seem to saturated for my tastes. Interspersing some alternate textures would also be a good idea to limit the obvious tiles. (The grass upward curve for instance has a rather apparent tiling). All in all, I like the look of it.

The type of sky (dark) works, but the texture itself is quite out of place.

I like it, but the floor texture seemed to hurt my eyes after a bit and repeated too much. Other than that...I love you, Kirby.
I had a blog. It sucked.
2006-05-29, 6:59 PM #55
What floor texture? The grass or the red brick one? If you mean the brick one, it's only in that one spot.... in that one screenshot... how long were you staring at it? Carefull. Staring at anything long enough will burn your retnas.

The level is very nice, one of the best textured JK levels I've ever seen. I love the blending transitions between the grass and stone.

Superb work, but I'm afraid I'm not a huge fan of the washed-out lighting. Artificial shadows as a result of an extremely strong global light is not a suitable tradeoff for aesthetic lighting, in my book. While a single global light might look good with other engines, this method just doesn't really look that appealing in JK.

To give the lighting depth, I think you guys should turn down the intensity/range of the light and/or add other lights.

Oh, and I know the lighting's temporary--those are just some things to keep in mind while trying to improve it. ;)

I don't care what anyone else thinks or says, but honestly and truely this looks like it could be a screenshot from Half Life 2.

[http://halucid.we-own-you.com/images/kirby/JSHOT156.jpg]

The only thing I don't like is the beam and blocks at the very top of that screenshot. They are very low in detail compared to the rest of the map.

Well then you have now done everything perfect.

Although there's also one last thing I still think is missing perfection. The stained glass windows just really don't seem to fit. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's really just like they are sticking out too much.

Maybe try some different textures? Maybe I'm just being too nitpicky, but the map is already the most superior detail-oriented map I've ever witnessed for JK, so I might as well give my 2 cents on making it even more amazing.

I agree. It's because those are backlit stained glass windows. If you're outside looking in, they shouldn't be that saturated. As I said before....

It's hard to find stained glass images to photorape that aren't backlit, 'cuz who (besides me) would wanna see them that way?

Yeah man, this could really be HL2 running with some fx off (like displacement mapping). Amazing. It might even beat Neurotic...if you don't break anything finishing it. This lighter plugin creates some fantastic shadows.
