Dm- Rainforest
« on: May 01, 2009, 10:49:58 am »
This is my first dm map. I know it isnt very good one ;.



Download:
Rainforest.rar

Edit: I fixed some polybounces and deleted ropes.

God damn...
use TMS to host maps and screenshots...

Looks nice though...

[Edit]
Surprisingly GJ for the first map! Everything done properly. Colouring/scenery usage is perfect. I suggest to use more of the polygon *patches* like on the bridge to eliminate buggy places.

Rainforest theme is a recurring one, so I wouldn't start yelling "copier!" anytime soon Drag ;).   I love the look of it, but the ropes connecting the islands together dont seem to fit to me... Great job though, I'll be looking out for more of your maps in the future :P

sorry, Dragstie, but scenery usage/coloring/texturing on this one are much better than on Aztica...

I disagree. Plus his multitexture owns this map.

Simple texture is better then ugly multitexturing(it makes me think that it was made with textured quads x_x). If you compare Aztica and Rainforest you'll see that on Aztica 7/8 island have almost the same shape, while on Rainforest they all vary. And also i like the shading on the Rainforest - colors are deeper and it feels *velvet*.

Yeah why to strech if it looks better when it's not streched?

Good map for a first map ;) Good polystructure, good usage of scenery, good shading.
Things that could be better: Overlapping of polys you have overlapped on a few places like the bridge but not on other places which causes unsmoothness, as well as lack of waypoints. but anyways keep up the great work ;)

Lets not turn this into a topic about "which map is better" please :P

I choose not to do multi-texture because I suck at it :P

All I see is a ctf_Death2 map type of map so how are they similar except they are both roundish?

its the dynamic of throwing the flag through the middle makes it completely different from death2
