heh you sure are lucky the contest ain't about r_speeds

I really like the blue and white, they work really nicely together, though I feel a third shade (a light blue, most likely) could add a lot of needed definition to it. The tall blue only spires need another colour on them for sure, they look like a huge waste of polys since they are quite complex but none of that complexity can be made out (at least in the screenshots). Certainly some funky and original brushwork going on here though, good job so far

love the brushwork, great work cass! I agree with reno, another color would help give it definition.

Once again -- I thought they were bloody pictures! (that's a good sign) =D

Boo.

some people would do anything to try out a new system :biggrin:

Hey, you're using Glow-mod! Cheater! :biggrin:

Looks good anyway. But how are players going to walk around on it? I'd imagine I would be falling off every other minute or so myself.

very pretty cassius :smile:

2 colors in each shot, and ungodly high file sizes.. on a plus note.. the section contained within the tiny red X is kinds small.

/runs screaming "Xat is calling to you cass.."

I'm looking forward to this, be interesting to see how it plays!

Whoa, the glow works wonders on this map, good improvement! I thought you had given up on this one though?

I have absolutly no idea whats going haha. But its very purty!~~

/me floats into the light

OMG TRAWNGLOWX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!1!!11111

And you got your computer back?

Nah, I found part of the rmf on my other computer. IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC

I had no idea that the music would find me.

Looks damn cool. are you going to post a beta link so we can see what it looks like in-game?

I believe that is in-game... notice the tron glow.. :biggrin:

I think Tracer meant playing in game, as its always kinda
different when running around in a level to just looking at pictures.

Looking good, but I don't have any idea were the player should walk ...

It looks very different to say the least. What are you going to do about weapons? You can't just leave them lying around on a map that looks like this :razz: . Besides that maybe you should cut down on the red a little, it hurtsss.

Are the two areas connected in any way?

I was sorta of the understanding that this was the same map retextured
in two different colours, but I just had a cool thought - is the colour
change dynamic? I have no idea how this glow works, but if it was
dynamic and changed colour during gameplay, that would be quite awesome
:smile: Something tells me I'm wrong however.

hehe my bad Tracer. :razz:

The glow is automatic, at least if you're using the vertex/pixel shaders. They target lighter values and blur them.

A changing colors theme would have to be done with some texture switching stuff in hammer. :smile:

But, vertex and pixel shaders is a nice addition to HL. (Notice the guy who implimented it is using Cg ... a fairly new language for your videocard)

Ooh... Imagine if the colored part was an animated texture and alternated between all the colors of the rainbow! Seizure city! I would love it! :biggrin:

What would have if you had the tron style glow on a func_illusionary / func_wall that was rendered to "pulse"?

it would pulse I imagine, download the precompiled dlls and give it a run. They have links on the first page of the collective. :smile:

Very surreal looking map :-D
