ctf_waterfalls
« on: September 14, 2008, 03:24:03 pm »
Changes:
-Removed the very low route. I was trying to make it a behind the waterfall passage 3d effect but it never worked out. The original 3 routes I think works out better anyway
-Changed the background color. I think its better that way
-To make the rippling effect in the waterfall, I used a pale blue icicle scenery pasted over
-Added extra scenery

Hopefully, it was upgraded instead of downgraded.
Any Thoughts?

The cloud at the end of the waterfall is an instant fail, try with more sceneries/polygons.
Make spaces/tunnels between waterfalls wider, or there only will be campers.

In my opinion, I'd remove the lower route and I'd make the water gets in the base, i don't think you get my point, but try it.

Use some transparency on that foam scenery and maybe place a few sizes of it there. Other than that it looks good. Not gonna download it now as I'm to tired to do it.

OBEY!!!

Use your imagination.

If we have to do this, you have failed in part of your task.

That cloud looks horrid. Do what Blackdevil recommended.

Use some of the fx_ clouds, at low transparency (maybe ~15%) and layer them (use ~15 sceneries) if you want a nice effect.
The new splash is nicer, but can still be improved.

I like the feeling of murky rivery water behind the map. Adds a nice effect.

That's not supposed to be used as a cloud. Use your imagination. It's the pressure of a waterfall at the bottom creating the white splash effect. I really can't see any scenery that would produce a similar effect.
Obviously i knew that, but there are some already made waterfalls with the same effect.

Check this out:

TBH IMO that waterfall isn't very good, it looks more like a waterfall, but could be done better.

sure it can be done better, but so far is the best thing I could make.

Thank you for your input.
Updated in first post.

Picture may look a little skewed. Obviously, better to just look at it if it's downloaded.
