That doesn't really show what it looks like close up though.

The textures will always look pretty crappy close up. When I saw this I thought I'd try it out.

EXAMPLE

You can probably guess which side is sharpened.

OK, I tried the sharpening thing. It makes the textures look better from far away, but close up they looke very grainy, so I think I'll go back to the normal ones. I've implemented about 75% of the stuff pointed out, I just need to reduce r_speeds a bit in a couple of areas, and interesting-ize a couple more areas before putting the next beta up.

go ahead jeff - this map will be great :smile:

Hey that's really nice. I'll definately try that.

Cass - I seem to remember you saying last time that you had a texture set in mind that might be sueful for me... can you remember which it was?

Damn you Nic, damn you to hell!

That's pretty neat Nic... :smile:

Can I just suggest that you open the TFC2 textures in Photoshop and run some sharpen filters on them, Couple of samples:



This is just opening the texture in Photoshop, then filter>sharpen. Some textures can 'take' 2 sharpen filters. Basically just keep sharpening until they start to look cack :smile:

2) What do you mean here? Is it that you stick when walking over the grass, or do you just not like having to jump to get onto the planters?

Its just a pain to jump up onto the planters, can't help feeling that 16 unit high ones would work better and allow peeps to run around this area without getting snagged up on them.

Perhaps I could put a couple of generators that look like they are powering the lights

Anything that adds a bit of variation is a good idea :smile:

/goes off to gawp at Fishys barrel model.

Jeff,

1. Clip off the edges of the castle to make falling impossible.

2. Coat outside of castle with null texture.

3. Rejoyce due to lower r's throughout the map.

4. Paypal me money to pay for my kidney operation.

Fishy, I agree about the keg. It looks great except for the green. :smile:
