more wip images coming soon =P

Too bad you can't make it underwater though

Is there going to be an underwater section?

can't you make it underwater?

and ye there will be underwater part... maybe not so much on game model...(since where atlantis is, it's several hundred feet down.

OK so nothing special so far. How about showing us your reference so we can get a feel for what you're trying to achieve?

You can't have an underwater section, unless you want your tunnels full of fog, or the water fogless. AKA, it will look like crap.

He's making it based off of the city of Atlantis in one of the Stargate spin-offs.

Cant you add portals to the tunnels and only have the fog in the clusters outside of the tunnels?

And you'll still have the underwater effects which are gay like muffled shooting etc.
You cant shape the area where water fills. Anything below the plane is water no matter what.

Just realized, this thing is going to be HUGE!

Also, didn't he say
