Hey J-M

[evilsquirrel]

Alright, I'm pretty sure everybody knows the picture J-M posts when people mention vertex manipulation - showing off his "skilz" or somesuch...

Well, here's a teaser shot of my current WIP map.

[evilsquirrel]

wierd

any cool vertex stuff on your new map?

 

[PBarnum]

One small area is filled with it. But other than that, it is basic vertex manipulation... How ever basic it can be, haha.

 

[ceriux]

This motivates me! I have some experience with Worldcraft in Halo, so how hard can Hammer be? (Famous last words)

J-M - it seems more like you throw in VM for the fun of it, not for realism. The rocks didn't look real, nor did the caves. The caves, at least, just looked like a room you'd find in a carnival fun house. And the cliffs, while very nice looking, are too similar to each other. It looks like you made one and copy+pasted. Not trying to be a dick, just offering feedback..

I agree with you on the cliff face; I used a different method for those. I can do way better, but the first bunch of screenshots (from the map "orcwar4beta") were just to show Jelly a few things about mapping when he was learning how to map.

I disagree on the cave however. But if you want caves that look like total and utter shit as found in mscave and daragoth, be my guest.
...is it the texturing?
