Just out of curiosity, is that whole elevated highway made of voxels? Does it slow down your PC any?
What are you working on for Duke right now? "Post about whatever Duke related stuff you're doing"

Yes the highway is made of voxels. Seperated into modular pieces. No slow down at all, no fps drop at all. The power lines (minus the power cables) are also voxels.

Decided I was rather pleased with what I was doing, so I'm continuing work on that map, I've started work on the entrance hall, I'm probably going to arch the ceiling.

High Treason, the polymer looks great. But you should do some more mapping before you post pictures.

I usually would, but this time I'm determined to run into any criticism before I put months of work into something as typically I'll post shots when something is near completion and release it only to discover it is universally disliked, ignored or unplayable.
Edit: There, the basic arcitechture is just about done, this room is going to remain mostly empty for several reasons, one of which is that it is the 'hub area' for the mansion.
For the time being, I've spammed the hell out of lighting and I stuck some disused pure white lights into white walls here as I still want them handy for mapping, so don't think I'm ignoring the red FPS counter. It'd be cool if I could have the camera in Mapster emit light, but no such feature, not a big deal, oh, and I know I need to align some textures properly, I'll get on that tomorror, for the time being I have had enough of yelling at TROR for one day.

If I were you I'd make those shadows out of sectors to improve FPS, just try to copy the SE shadow pattern by putting a random sprite on every vertex so you can match all the marked points on 2D editing mode.
On other topic, experimenting with slopes:

Looks good high treason. And for Norvak. When doing sloping. Triangles is the way to go

Still doing mostly con coding for city level.
City level probably has more con coding than any known level of my mod or Oblivion.
City alone has about 1/6 of the whole game.con file.

This looks pretty nice actually, but I do have a few suggestions even if you might already be aware of them.. I did a quick edit in photoshop and added a bit of annotation, you'll find below both a clean and annotated version.

Honestly for something that dark/dramatic you could probably start with sector lighting, throw in a couple lightmaps where needed, and then have some simple polymer lighting to give you shadows on actors from main light sources.
Light maps (sprites) and sector lights are basically free, which is why I suggested them as a start rather than shadow casting lights.

That is a really rad looking interpretation of Stadium. Great use of TROR.

Well, at least in my case it's usually due to a German organisation called GEMA which forces Youtube to block stuff. I tried to circumvent that but my download was crippled. I could see that there is some John Williams music contained which should indeed be the reason for the blockage.
[EDIT:]
Works now. Thanks a lot. Great stuff as always.
I wish I'd have a better look at the waterfall...

That sky effect is pettry cool... I tried something similar back then, but couldn't make anything good looking. Are you using multiple skybox textures? Doesn't that take too long to load?

Yeah, it is an animated skybox, I tried to make the same effect without using skybox (with only one pic) but not looking good. If the skybox's pics are too large, they are a little freeze when pics are load, I resized the pics and this run pretty well.

It definitly looks more 3D than a wall texture - I imagine he used alot of walls and sectors to give it a 3D feel.
Great stuff in anycase
