Hey,
Got your mail mate. Thought i am very busy with things. I would like to test. But it is just that I TOO busy with alot of projects, Red Eye - Island, the Black Bird, and the Entry for Ultimate Contest.
Thought You could send me it, and I will take a look when i got time.
Let me give you some C&C:
FIRST PAGE OF YOUR THREAD:
It is looking good, i see a nice use of stock models and segments.
Your lightplacement skills are in some screens pretty good and in others not so good. Take Picture 23. The one with the trees at the right side. That is pretty good done. Thought i would rethink about the segment grass you are using, thou i heard it was a training mission, so if it is a reason that is like that, it is good.
Back to light placement: The last screen i have to say, sorry. Your ambience is not so good and you didnt use any lightmapping or light. Maybe a light alarm that goes off and on, blue off blue off. And a white on the right side, that shades shadows on the right side. You could set the ambience a bit down. And make it a bit dark, so the light alarm works better. You can refine some lights on some rooms, cuz in some are the lightsources a bit lower then the actually light. But that is easy to fix. The screen before the blue one, I really would like to see with shadows on top. Like you have lights beneath the floor, and it casts shadows. What are your settings btw. I use:
lightmaptexsize=1024
lightmapquality=90
It works pretty well for me, and i am sure, as you use FPSC X10 you can have it easily high texture size and alot of effects without any lag.
I hope. + Maybe more entitys in that screen.
So... About your models/entity placement:
Well it is not bad at all. But you may consider those grass segments i stated above. And i dont really like (just me) the two big towers (sorry cosmic prophet). They just dont fit in there, and they are not so good models too. May be me.
Is it the picture, or is the skybox a bit low quality, the one with the stars? Well maybe sharpening adding new layers, and such to get better detail and quality, easily fixed.
The chataracters you are using, is your choice, but maybe some more retextures. I wont say much about that. But in that last screen the robot seems to be a bit in the ground.
PAGE TWO OF YOUR THREAD:
The outdoor screens are looking great. Maybe here and there some brushes and grass, would look ok.
I wont comment anything further about the "blue" screen.
The Third screen of your second page of your thread should have some work thought, maybe a couple trees and grass.
Where is the sun comming from? Maybe a light acting like sun and with the setting above, it would make it just cool.
The mountains with yellowish light, are looking great, but i wonder why they have green/yellow light. Yet again i have to say, some more couple of grass, would be look nice. I see some texture problems thought that is from the models. I dont know if you made those mountains, if so i would fix it. The bridge(is that correct?) between the moutains is nice, thought maybe covering the parts that he goes throught the moutain. With some grass or something, or rocks. The skybox is very good.
Well i hope I gave you a reasonable C&C. It looks great, keep it up. Keep those things in mind, and it will be even greater.
I will be posting C&C for you on this thread.
Cya,
