CTF-Botanic by Sonic-len is final

From the author :

A map that represents a laboratory style visual theme set in the future, where plants and vegetation are being grown and cultivated. An outside view of the map represents a smog filled urban cityscape to counter the visual sci-fi/botanical theme that is evident in this map.

DM-Mégane, post # 2 – buildings

This post is to show a bit the surrounding buildings you’ll see around the map.

I started to look which stock deco meshes I can use for the surrounding. When I look at them, well, they don’t fit my needs.

1 – They are heavy resource wise, counting 3000 – 4000 poly’s.
2 – City building meshes are composed of many small building meshes that most small meshes aren’t good looking, they look very low detailed.
3 – While all those city meshes are often use at a certain distance from the main play area (that is why they don’t need to be very detailed), we don’t notice their low details so it is fine habitually but in my case, the building are very close to the play area so it look very bad.

To resolve this issue, I’ve decided to make many BSP buildings that are the closer to the play area since they are ‘in your face’, I will be able to make some good looking materials with the stock textures using realistic, simple geometry. I’ve made 4 of them so far & the result is pretty much satisfying as you can see 😀

Hope you likeys – my first map on UE3, and 1st complete map…ever! While it does cook and I can play in editor, I have been having issues playing it in UT3 and crashing but I reckon this is my set up.

‘Honor’ receive on Epic forums

It was a surprise for me to notice today that I’ve received a honorable banner on Epic forums! A banner given only for Recognizing Outstanding Community Members You can see the banner “I Helped the Community!” right below my username.

My dude “Sly.” asked Flak on Epic to add my name and he explained to me that you only get this banner when you did something special or many little things to help the community and improve the forums. So, I can wear this banner with pride hé hé. I’m indeed flattered because not everybody gets one 🙂
