Dear KIIIA,

How is it possible to map as fast as you do?

Sincerely,

Cassius.

P.S. I like this new one, but the weird-ass metal beam thing in the last shot has got to go.

Looks really nice. You used the term WIP though and I only hear people say that when they show off a model. I also thought this was a map for Unreal 2K4 when I first looked at the pics. So what game/mod is it for.

Edit: never mind its for Q3.

I don't play Q3A much but a few things I can see visually

-Your lights don't match the rest of the architecture. They look too detailed TBH.
-What cassius said about that support thing
-Yellow jump pads don't match the Blue-and-Gray theme you have going on.

Considering that my Q3A knowledge is very limited, feel free to ignore :/

I think you should make the lighting match the cartoony style - high contrast or flat. And that realistic metal support thing has to go, yes. Might want to make the black outlines a bit thicker to emphasize it more - as it is, I have to kind of squint to see them.

Yeah, definitely get rid of that metal thingy. The door in the 2nd pic I like, very nice. [addsig]

from the angle of the shot, you cannot truly say the metal thingy must go, all you can truthfully say is it looks odd and might not belong..

personally, i don't like the blue lights.. it clashes with the attempted theme IMO..

course, i am gonna shut up now, before this map comes up missing too

I agree that the metal strut has to go, but I rather like the yellow jump pads. I think the jarring clash between them and the rest of the map adds to the cartoony theme and additionaly makes them obveous so that players will not overlook them. Otherwise I agree with everyone else. [addsig]

e-cel textures? they certainly look like it

definately, do something about the metal support - without pulling punches, it looks absolutely horrid and out of place.

the jump pads do look nice, but if i recally correctly wont they bounce people up, and away from the pad rather than straight up - im not sure if its a setting on the bounce pads, but it looks a little odd when considering how the rest of the q3a jump pads are set up

nice screens

Loving that hanging blue enery thingy, looks uber cool Got a bit of a texture misalignment on it though, but perhaps thats impossible to avoid (I imagine it could be if animated). Very nice architecture all round and the cel-shading is coming off much better than I had expected.

Looks sweet. Nice to see more Q3 stuff around here. Now if only Lep hadn't deleted that section hehe

Very nice architectural work all around. I'd love to see more curves, personally, but nothing wrong with what you've got so far [addsig]

Lovely - only complaint would be that the texture on that central pillar hasn't wrapped particularly well leaving an ugly seam. While you might not be able to do anything about that with the current pillar design, you could consider putting one or two thing metal supports up it at points, allowing you to hide the seam behind them.

Anyway, love the room design, love the lighting, and love the textures (though that floor texture is in danger of being overused in this area, perhaps put a different one on the lowest level floor?)

I don't think you're taking our thoughts about the realistic metal beam thing to heart...
