HD_Forest

Only got a few images, but some are better than none.

I am making a map for the Household Death MOD. Its called HD_Forest, and you can take a basic guess at what the theme and setting is.

I only began work a few days, and its been going a bit slow, but I still have a couple image's to show you.

Started on some basic rock work, see an image Here.

Also, I am starting another area in which I will keep secret for now, see an image Here.

More updates soon...

[UPDATE]

I will revil the secret area..Its a mineshaft. Thats all I am saying, and here is another photo of it.

Mineshaft

Looks good so far. Lighting inside of the house isn't done so I won't comment on that, as for the new mine, it looks pretty good.

Where are the trees? The name suggests trees dammit! :wink:

BTW. Ceilings seem a little high :smile:

The ceiling for that house and the lighting were just thrown in.

Havent start trees yet either.

The walls look a bit tall and bare, perhaps you can stick some pictures and stuff on them or something.

And yeah, where are the trees? :razz:

If you would actually read, I have only been working on it a few days and its been going slowly...So shut your damn mouth about the trees.

Trees soon, cabin isnt done.

The screenies look pretty decent, i would change the inside wall tex's tho' - IMO that big brick tex from the chateau wad doesn't work that well when used on big wall areas, IIRC it was used for a fireplace. Will maybe look better if a stucco, plaster or wallpaper tex was used instead.

Your last couple of maps were, errrr, a bit rushed, i would try and take a bit more time over them.

i wanna see some trees :biggrin:

Thanks beer :biggrin:

I am going to fully detail this map in every way possible..But, I think I am going to change the name. Sure, the map will have some trees and be in a desolant, outdoor area, but it wont be a PURE forest.

And dont worry, Trees are being modelled as we speak :biggrin: .

Hey mate, you should read the rockwork tutorials here, yours is really quite messy looking and will lead to more faces than are necessary and probably not look very good either. Its the approach most people take when they begin rockwork, but it really isn't a very good approach. Otherwise, you should just heed the advice of the others I guess. Good luck with it :smile:

Thanks, I was reading and looks at some of your Triangle terrian tutorials, and mine turned out like so..

WHERES THE TREES?!

*shields nuts

Updated, more images of the mine..Once this is finished, I`ll begin trees.

Image 1

Image 2

Too dark. Can't see anything, really, and gamma isn't the problem - I can see most NS maps without a problem. From what I can make out though it looks a little bare. And you still need to throw in some trees eventually.

Ach mein lamen - turning up the brightness alone doesn't help, and really, if you need to turn it up that much, your area is too dark.

And hows about those trees?

Shouldve mentioned, lighting perfection isnt done in there :biggrin:

this forest i keep hearing about....umm....has it been harvested already??... :heee:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

someone please kill cassius for that avatar, it about gave me a seizure

looks like a good start, vash. I agree that that rock texture isn't so good. it looks more like something for an outside wall, not something inside.

the scale in some areas seems off, too- like the rooms/halls are way too big.

good start, though :smile:

Ty jinx

I am going to state a bunch of things :smile:

Custom textures soon [Rock texture is a place holder]

I am just making the basic construction of mine, after thats done comes the detail :smile: .

Ah, trees soon! Calm down..And as I stated, I might change the name to Nature or something..Might not be a whole forest, just trees in some places :smile:

Dunno if you've decided on what sky box to use but Counter Strike had one called Forest which was used for an old, official escape map set in a... forest (can't remember its name), it may fit the map.

Gawd damn it, i wanna see some trees !

/puts on armoured codpiece for protection against Vash's fury :smile:

[Unleashes fury but fails]

Actually, I was thinking the same thing last night! Can anyone shoot me a link to DL it? Dont want CS infecting my system with is 1337ness.

[EDIT]

Images are currently down for a bit.

Happy now :smile: ? Will being mapping out parts of the forest and stuff, all tree models made by The DoenerKing.

Any more than five or six of those onscreen at once and you will get epolied up the ass. Hook yourself up with some sprites, boy.

• xoxo,

Cassius

P.S. Liking the new avatar, Vash.

Will look into it Cass :smile: , and ty for the avatar comment.

[EDIT]

I was just looking through some wad's that DoenerKing gave me, and I have seen quite a few scenery and tree textures.







Only going to show you three, dont got time to cut half and upload em :smile: .

Also, ingame I viewed all those tree models at once, and got a reasonable r_speed reading [At least I think it was].

i dono if it's propper to use it oustside of that mod, but it seems like dod_kalt has a pretty good spruce tree model

I can use it if its from DOD, I mean, IF its an offical map. Because DOD is an offical Valve MOD, and all acsessories to it are allowed to be used for multiple MODs.

If it is an offical map, send me a link to download please :smile: .

Got another tree, not skinned yet..:



I have the skin for the tree, but its 512x512, and everytime I compile it in Milkshape..It crashes. If anyone cares to help fix the skin problem, you can view it Here.

Tree model by Ashteth [Ashteth@mail.com].

[EDIT]

Never mind, I fixed the problem:



And thats a "340" for epoly, not "940" :smile: .

looks better than the sprite looking 1 sided textured tree's :smile:

Thats exactly why I looked for them :biggrin:

One of those texes was from hlrally, and the hlrally team doesnt want their wads being used on things other than hlrally.<!-- Kerio Popup Killer - script has been appended by KPF -->

<!-- Kerio Popup Killer - end of the script appended by KPF-->

here you go Vash.

http://www.snarkpit.com/pits/tracer%20bullet/dod_trees.zip

that is all of the tree models I could find that come with dod. I'm pretty sure all of them are official.

Unless they ripped it from Max Payne 1/2, it isnt theirs.

Thanks for the link tracer

LOL that would be a humourous situation, if they had taken textures from a different game and then put some sort of "claim" to them

{forest

Its hlrally material.<!-- Kerio Popup Killer - script has been appended by KPF -->

I'll ask doener King in a bit about it

Mores images of the Trees, actual forest construction image's soon.

Nice trees there, Vash. I would love to see them used in the map. Don't forget to add plenty of dark places for a person to hide just in case somone gets a slasher rune :biggrin: .

Ahhhh, lovely, now i can chop 'em all down with me axe :biggrin:

/starts to sing, very poorly

Ohhhhh......
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
I sleep at night and I work all day.

I cut down trees
I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatoryyy
On Wednesdays I go shopping
and have buttered scones for tea.

Ohhhhh......
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
I sleep at night and I work all day.

I cut down trees
I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
and hang around bars

Ohhhhh......
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
I sleep at night and I work all day.

I cut down trees
I wear high heels
suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear pa-pa !
