Interesting... Probably there need to be gothic variant of wall light IMO.

Can you be more specific, or give an example? It's all still a work in progress, so I'm open to suggestions.

[Dragonfly]

The ceiling light is an example of something more Gothic, the wall light you've used is very tech-base in style. :)

[Da Werecat]

I herd some of you like monochromatic.





Then again, some of you don't.







Yep, UAC Ultra 2 textures for the most part.

Sure. Like that metal + WhLite texture.

[Tango]

looks really cool, Da Werecat. love the red glove :D what port is that?

[Da Werecat]

Thanks. The last 3 shots were taken in ChocoTest. Later I dropped the "colored lighting on grey textures" idea and switched to MBF. The first 2 shots are from that version.

After that the thing mutated into something I probably won't be able to finish in a reasonable amount of time, like most of what I do.

Dammit, I can't unsee it.

Spoiler

It looks like doomguy is doing something dirty.

[Mechadon]

Beautiful stuff Da Werecat!

He looks like he's punching the clown, and you know it!

How's this look instead?

[Gez]

wow, sonic looks freaky when he has two separate eyes.

EDIT: wrong thread

[Dragonfly]

@Subatomic - much better!

@Jaxxoon R - please never let this monstrosity leave your hard drive! :P

Looks amazing as always Antares.

Wow that's amazing! So sad I will never do the same... (but I am practicing)

[Dragonfly]

Lutz your interpretation of the original is fantastic! I checked out the thread you linked and love everything you've shown so far. I look forward to the eventual release!

Never say never.

Also, there is a thread like this for videos. I'm saying that since you posted a video and not a pic :)

[Fuzzball]

Stunning Lutz as always! I do miss the red brick in your shots though! :D Splash of colour here and there?

One of my favorite traits of this style is the freeform repetition of simple features. The torch pillars in 1b, for example: many mappers would instead decorate each island with a single elaborate pedestal holding multiple torches. It doesn't look busy, either, because of the shared tendency among most structural features and the limited number of textures. The lighting in 1b is also genius; it looks palpable, like a dark fog.

My maps are always ignored, I can do nothing in this respect...

[Dragonfly]

Practice, practice, practice! You're surrounded by a lot of people who've been doing this for years; take inspiration from their works.

Rather than say 'I'll never be able to do that', say 'I'm going to get that good!'. Keep trying, keep learning. I've been mapping from as early as 2005, I'm still learning new stuff today.

EDIT: I also ignored your last post because it's a video, not an image. I am at work, so I can check forums quickly here and there but watching videos is generally out of the question. I watched ten seconds or so and it's not nice to watch a video at 1fps. I'd suggest looking into better recording software. Also, D_RUNNIN? No thanks! ;D

If you need feedback, it looks significantly better than Adjoined detail wise!

Try using this song with it :P

[Rayziik]

I need to stop looking at this thread, it always reminds me of how poorly I map. Great shots from antares and Lutz, can't wait to play em!

Don't let it get you down, just tell yourself that one day you might be able to map like this, also these people might've been mapping for over a decade, etc, etc.

If anything i use this thread for inspiration. :)
