[WIP] Delta Towers

[Boba]

Here's an idea:

Have some ships scroll across the sky under a bitmap of High Charity like it is when you go into the last Delta Temple.

It'd be a nice complement to the ship floating above the lake. (Also, I still have Connor's DH sky if anyone needs it; I made sure it didn't get lost through all of the reformats and uninstallations)

[Ki11a_FTW]

if the sky looks better then use it
if not dont :)

[ThePlague]

I like the ship.
Don't you fucking dare. fucking teal likers

Those rocket launcher origins look horrible.

[Inferno]

It's called FOV 90. Or 85. IDR.

[English Mobster]

DAMN YOU INFERNO GET ON XFIRE.

Also, nice shipy-thingy.

[Inferno]

It's true.

Inferno Pro: wut
Abominable Snow Mobster: fast response time there
Abominable Snow Mobster: i hit post
Abominable Snow Mobster: then pop
Abominable Snow Mobster: you come on
Inferno Pro: i have a implant for modacity RSS
Inferno Pro: in my brain
Abominable Snow Mobster: ...

[Timo]

Ship looks nice, i'd leave it at that.

[Pooky]

Unless someone paints a damn sky then I can't. Halo can't do volumetric shit properly and I like having the ship close enough to see detail.


And now for something completely different.


Yeah yeah, I know its not very detailed but I can barely model. It's only 3k polys total so even polar can run it on high settings.


Are you crouching in those pictures, or is the scale way off? For some reason, it just looks like the Master Chief is really fucking short.

[jcap]

Also if we put the ship in the sky then it will require me to animate the sky. Which is annoying + probably not going to render and cleanly as a scenery object.

Why would it be animated?
.

[Dwood]

I think it'd be cooler to just have it floating there. There's no need for the ship to be flying around unless it's glassing something ;p

can't... Must. spread. rep.

[Inferno]

I just added cons sky. Is it just a higher res version of the regular sky?

[Con]

I don't remember what the res is. heh.

[Inferno]

Well whats the possibility of a really awesome custom sky?

:-3

[Con]

To be honest, low. I'm pretty sky'd out.

[Inferno]

:saddowns:

How about a single texture re-work?

[Con]

Oh yeah, most of it was just one texture. It wouldn't be a lot of work to touch that up, but you'll have to wait while I finish some other things first. Let's take this to PM's for further discussion.

[Inferno]

Alright guys. I finished the last few UV's for delta lake and we are now at the point where I need other people to help.

All that's left to do:
- High rez some of the "meh" textures.
- High rez normal maps on a few shaders.
- Background landscape needs a nice ultra detailed 2048x2048 texture.
- Updated sky with 1024x1024 bitmaps.
- Move sun about 30 degrees closer to the red base. I don't like the current location.
- Aether lightmaps. Dee is handling this I think.

Bold are the most important.
Then we are done.

[Advancebo]

For the sun, just import the sky into 3ds max, place a marker where you want. And export. Then in the sky, just have the sun lens flares attach to the marker.

There's a specific spot in the sky bitmap we are using. We need to rotate the entire sky or repaint the location.

[Sel]

you forgot

SEL WAS NICE ENOUGH TO LET YOU HAVE HIS BEAM TAGS

[Inferno]

Indeed you were. Now get back to work on those cliff UV's.

[jcap]

The beams in Rev don't fit this map if left alone. They would need to be much lighter.

[paladin]

How much lighter?

[Con]

much

[paladin]

pics please... i dont believe the hype

[Inferno]

I like the way they look tbh.

[Sel]

pics

[English Mobster]

Pics or fuck the shut up..

[Inferno]

My hands hurt to much to take screen shots.

Oh well...




Protip: Snafubar has the latest version of the map.

c wat you did thar

[Inferno]

Bump to remind disaster to do the ground texture.

And con to high rez the sky bitmaps.
