Your most beautiful construction, or of which you are most proud

Let me guess..... .you like color purple)

Fun fact, initially Coma Moonlight was originally blue, but Killerkouhai suggested repainting it purple. And it was a super great idea! :D

I am intrested in how you did it. I see  there is a lot of 3d floors, how's framerate and can you point at smoke n' mirrors part in this map. I NEED TO KNOW!)

Initially, there are very few 3D floors on the map, and the general shape was created using several tiers of sector portals (Action 57: Sector Set Portal). This screenshot shows an early map version, with an unfinished rebuild (I changed it a lot to improve optimization). 5 fps, yes this is already a legend, but keep in mind that I made this map on my old PC with a very weak CPU (on modern machines fps is much better).

Yeah so when I am incredibly rich and famous, could you come and design my house?

I haven’t figured out what to answer... But that sounds great xD

By looking at this pictures i realised.... i need to step up my game NOW!

Amazing screenshots in this thread! Love it! If someone out there questions why we're still making levels for this old game and they don't believe that we can still make it look good, then just point them to this thread.

I don't really have massive constructions to show but here's a little pub with stools and beer mugs I made  instead.

I'm getting an anxiety attack just thinking about how long these kinds of maps take to make...think I'll stick to the normal, Classic Doom-ish stuff lol

If this thread is anything to go by, then Doom mapping talent is kind of like an iceberg. 90% of it is hidden away unseen, sitting just below the surface, waiting  unobtrusively for threads like this one to tear a hole in the side of what we think we know about great mapping. It is scary to think that for every Dragonfly and Xaser and other (rightly) celebrated mappers, there may be 9 more astonishingly creative and talented Doomers out there. We haven't scratched the surface.

 

Also great post btw. Nah Don't sweat it. U fine!

I was particularly pleased with the way my Corporate Nightmare map looked. The 1-way smoked mirror glass worked really nicely:

all my most detailed stuff gets abandoned, things get too linedeffy for my laptop and I become sad. alas =P

 

 

I guess I got this big church organ into the WMC02 pack though <3 all the lines in this level were shading but people managed to get lost anyway

Probably these areas from Atomic Island:

 

Or this brutalist office building from my current project I'm working on:

Definitely my latest release, Viscous Realms, that one took me quite a while haha. Was also my first foray into the world of mapping with OTEX

As a huge fan of your maps, I can safely say that your stuff will never stop being relevant, DK!

[Doomkid]

Hehe, my post was mostly a joke :) in truth I’m glad to see people pushing Doom in new and interesting directions more and more with each year that goes by. What would really worry me would be mass stagnation! As this thread makes clear, Doom’s journey is nowhere near over..

Until I'm done with the WADs I'm working on...Here it is...

I think that would have to be my upcoming map BFTree, both in terms of beauty and construction skills. It's the first UDMF project I started and I've steadily learned about 3D floors, ACS, slopes and models as I progress more in this level.

[Chopkinsca]

So much good stuff in this thread. It's a bit hard for my head to not feel so inadequate. Awesome works.

[stewboy]

I was trying to think through some of my recent maps to find an example I'm really proud of, and I think I'd have to go with MAP06 from my Eternity project - and in particular, this one small section. I made it have complete rotational symmetry around the central walkway axis, and it took a while to make over several mapping sessions. The thing is, there's no particular point to it. You don't have any fights here, because they wouldn't really work. You just walk right through it in the map and might not even notice it. It exists solely because making symmetric things satisfies some inner desire within my weird brain.

I've done a fair amount of stuff I think turned out well (even if most of it hasn't been released yet!), but this spiral staircase from a recent Elementalism map I was particularly proud at how well it materialized.

 

 

In fact the whole map came together rather nicely.

Holy crap guys, all of these look absolutely gorgeous. I'd really appreciate if you gave links to all of these wads, because now Im dying to play a lot (if not ALL) of these .-.

My skull keys. 3 old Crystal Skull vodka bottles, water and food dye...

Ready to open a portal to hell ;)

you're really testing my self-control in regards to not using room over room and other more modern mapping tricks hahaha
