Title: Ars Belli - The Art of War
Post by: Yoddle on January 06, 2012, 09:48:58 AM
Inspiration for this map came from Wybo, and his tank map, where he used only one texture on the tank, and skylight to show the detail.

Put this idea into a playable map, the layout was given to me by Sauce.
Its more about playing with detail, light, and making aesthetic patterns, but at the same time is playable. It is as simple as possible, with minimal complexities. (detail is the acception)

the first screenshot shows that only one grey is used, and the second screenshot shows how the light transformes the dull texture into a detailed  piece of work. The map is unfinished obviously, but heres just a preview.

Another map is under go, called YDL_03, which is a farm themed ctf map.

Simply because the projects section is more for planning/group projects, I'm going to move this to maps.

So cool. I really like AO, too bad sauer does a poor job at it. Cool AO can be achieved if the map is surrounded by lights. I did this once and it was cool. Don't have any screenies though.

Edit: found screenies:

Looks awesome. I've always loved the detail that suddenly appears with calclight on the grey textures,
Really does bring out the detail.

This is neat. Over 8 megs for the ogz, that's huge! It seemed you tried to use as many small cubes as possible neat.
