Post your Doom picture! [post in Part 2 instead]

I think it's fine.

Im considering upping the brightness one level. I dont think the sky is too bright though. Clearly the sun has already gone down, so everything should be just shadows.

And I have added some lighted spots around the area for contrast :)

I think it's good. Don't even touch it.

Cross-post from the game's thread, but since I haven't posted an image in a while here:



I fought the elements (read: EDGE's COAL scripting) and finally gave my game the energy bar it deserved.

I was stuck in hospital all last week - gave me a chance to make a cool deathmatch map.

I agree with Mark.. You could try increasing the light level by something like 24 on each row of sectors, from the peak.

That looks like a pretty smooth DM level with good texture choices etc. But then again, it would be weird if I said otherwise, since I use the exact same textures in almost the exact same way in my Flay the obscene series ;) I look forward to the release!

Hope you're feeling better bro. Nice map too; I like the abattoir feel it has.

Yes, just increase the brightness by one level. And on the very left end of the area, try to emulate a shadow projected by the mountain, well, something like this:

NEIS E4M6 is coming along...

That looks considerably less dramatic, imo. I really like how the mountain is just a dark silhouette in reaver's original shot, no unnecessary detail showing from a distance.

Lutz: Those shots look quite a lot like your Inferno maps, woo!

Fuck, it's so hard to make a decent hell section nowadays, especially when only using stock textures.




I'll do a lot more to this later, when my overall health gets better, although DBRAIN probably won't look good as a lavafall here IMO.

More WIP screenshots from my latest mapping effort.

Put some layer cliffs on those walls, so you get some change in that repetitive texturing.

You already shat all over all of my Hell maps.

How about turning the gamma down from 1000504396260248534986033 ;)

Not a bad start. But it looks so unfinished. There's tons of things you can do to make the room pop better: to start, break up the large lava and cave wall surfaces. Add interesting features like lava falls, ledges with secrets or enemies, recesses with torches, etc. Or you could make pillars of a contrasting rock texture. For the ceiling, you could add a skylight or something similar for both detail and light contrast. For the floor I would suggest making islands of REDROCK or something similar. You dont have to take my advice but I think adding architectural and lighting detail could spice up the room.

Yeah it's quite unfinished. And it looks like it won't be finished for awhile as long as my depression holds. Been feeling really terrible in my head ever since the beginning of December.

I might take some advice here, to help with this, but it will likely take months to finish. Also, this is supposed to be an old-school type of map. I'm trying to avoid some of the crazier gimmicks for this one.

lava falls

Sorry, I can't do this. I'm using only stock textures for this map and DBRAIN irritates me with how it flows upwards and all. Really do wish that there was actually a lavafall for Doom 2 textures.

When did I do that? o_o Never said anything bad about you at all.

Think he meant that you're doing better than he is with the hell maps.

Is a pretty cool start, hurricyclone. Sending positive thought beams in your direction, I know how annoying depression can be.

Made a new PW map last night. Pretty standard theme. Going to have a custom sky this time, but I have no idea what kind of sky yet. Green?

Try some of mine, offered years ago?

I'm getting coffee break flashbacks, only grittier! Very nice and chunky; good, low light; nice ceiling detail; doortrak on the far left looks too wide, though (pet peeve).

Oh, and this was posted in the GZDoom Builder thread over at the ZDoom forums by -- I think -- MaxED:
Anyway, it's not mine, but it's my wallpaper now.

I'd stick with that white sky if I were you. The contrast between the dark and gritty textures and the sky sets the perfect mood. I think it looks brilliant as it is.

Yeah, I just might!

LigH: I will have a look (again, I believe :P )

Schwer: good thing you reminded me. Those doortraks are fucked. Fixing it now

Another screenshot from my revamp of Flay the Obscene. Original one on the left, new one on the right... well, duh! :) I'm trying not to mess too much with the layout and architecture, but since it's meant to be played backwards and there was some strange red key logic in the original, I have had to add and change some things to make it flow better.

Are you sure that's made in (G)ZDoom? Because if it is, that's beyond awesome.

I'd try using a few similar looking textures in there, the blanket texturing doesn't quite work.

Apparently, it's been five months since I updated this thing for the last time.

I have only one question: how badly it lags?
