I decided to dust off this rework again. I contemplated just taking the assets and starting a whole new map, but so much work had already been done. It's best to just see it through. This was supposed to be bug-fixes and a visual update only, but time just wasn't kind to this map - and there was just a  ton of sloppy editing throughout. 

One cool technique I was thinking about turned out way more useful than I had initially thought it would; Exporting the entire map as an OBJ, then importing into Blender and making little detail scenes and flair. Everything stays to scale, and I export the new geometry, add it to the project, and it drops right in and uses the same texture resources as the rest of the map. You can't even tell it's a model, save for geometry that would otherwise be impossible in GZDoom - or, way too time consuming to do with 3d floors and slopes.

Impressive especially for a creature with no hands.

The lush greenery, the vibrant yellow/orange lighting and the radiant blue from that HUD really play nicely off of each other.

Volcanic tech base I should be finishing up soon. Haven't used vanilla only textures in a long time.

that looks insane. nothing too over the top yet still gorgeous... you struck a perfect balance of detail top work

While looking back on my output this year, I pulled together some shots of my favorite 2022 "resource doodlings." None of these may ever make it to the full map or project stage, but I thought it would be fun to at least leave a little record here:

How come so many myhouse.wad's and so few arthouse.wad's?

Are those 3d sectors? In MBF21? I thought that was exclusive to UDMF.

It's been a while since I really sank my teeth into mapping. There are so many new GZDoom mapping features I'm finding out about, but transparent 3d floors are still not a thing. I've got a really nice work-flow keeping the .obj map export opened in Blender. If something is out of reach, I model something quick, export/import and drop it in. The volumetrics were modeled in a few minutes, with the shadows and light being a mix of spotlight, 3d floors limited to light only, and some sector lighting. Almost all of the textures have been upscaled, with normal/spec shaders, and some PBR and parallax here and there. I'm trying to go for big, chunky details instead of micro-detailing every little bit of the map. It takes too long, and larger areas with lots of room to move are better for gameplay.

Incredible stuff, as always! It's always a pleasure to see something new you're working on.

Thanks, Essel! I actually forgot how zen mapping can be. Thinking up problems and how to solve them while creating something really presses that serotonin button.
