Another UT2004 must have map 😀
This map as been sitting on my HDD since it’s release but I needed to reinstall UT2004 in order to play this level. It took me long time to finally reinstall it but it’s better late than never 🙂
It’s really an awesome map. It look amazing, sound, feel great, play well so what do you want more ???
Grab it at his webpage 🙂 Leave a comments on BU forums.
I don’t add UT 99 content very often these days but when I just found a map that look so good and feel right, you bet I’ll advertise it 😀 Before noticing the pickups, I thought it was a UT3 level lol just to tell how much I found it great looking !!!
I really like those 2 new maps from him. Highly recommended 😀
From the author :
CTF-Bird
Is a UT3 map and a response to one of my earlier levels, CTF-Vogel, as well as a commentary on the death of online communities. Like Vogel, Bird uses a set of textures created by Hourences and a similar color palette. There are even several unintentional design congruities around the bases. But by all measures it has overcome its predecessor.
DM-Galsteen
Is a two player map for Unreal Tournament 3. The level was designed and released within a week. There will be more here soon.
I’m happy and proud to announce the final release of my last very detailed DM map, Mégane 😀
You can download the final map here.
Have fun ! You can also visit and leave your feedback directly on my official map page or on Epic forums or on UOF forums 🙂
I’m happy to announce the release of this new map. Note that it will be the only release before the final, hence the title because I’m already satisfied about the map, I’m just a precocious person 😉
You can grab the map on Mediafire 😀
Have fun & share your thoughts on Epic forums or directly here 🙂
This post should be the last one before I release the first & only beta.
I’ve been mapping like a maniac since the last post about the buildings, the buildings was looking ok but they look much better now (you don’t really see them in those pîcs thought…).
Meshing & lighting take me a lot of time. But at least, it look awesome from my pov & gameplay is freaking frantic even with low player count (±10 players), which is truly great (bot pathing is also an important point I take great care since I don’t play online). So, I need to add some little touches on some spots in those pics which after I will be able to release the beta just for bug purpose because I’m already satisfied about the look & gameplay.
Those pics as been posted on Epic.
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 😀
This is another masterpiece from one of my fav mapper, chonglee 😀
I can describe the map as visually stunning, stylish, including a ton of little attentions here & there with an awesome atmosphere !
