Darkbase

[sitters]

Best way to make a architecture model-pack is make a new map with it.

So I started a new map called DarkBase.
Its a dark, dangerous and old UAC base.

Some shots, just started so it can be changed.

Very nice. Looks like the kind of techy/industrial/believable place kind of maps that I like best.

[Firebrand]

Reminds me of Unreal Tournament . Looks like a good map.

Thanks guys,

Yea , exact what the intentions are.
Fiction but still realistic.

Here a shot : part of the generator room.

can't wait to play this btw, will the monsters be bitmaps or models as well? and is it going to be just a techdemo map designed to show off as many things gzdoom is capable of as possible or a "regular" one with standard flow and balance?

I think it's intended for Risen3D.

I just noticed this thread. Those are fantastic screenshots - as Enjay said, very gritty and realistic-looking.

ah, my bad. i just happen to treat this forum as a purely gzdoom one at times well the question to the author still stands.

Yes its intended for Risen3D.

Its not a demo map, its just a new tech-map for risen3d, and
I try to get most of the capabilities out of the engine, with a lot of animated
models like engines, doors, and more of that stuff.
And yes, the monsters are also models ( the new monster model pack ).

I think you can also make similar maps for gzdoom, it also have models, dynamic lights, hires textures.
maybe not the interaction with the models.
The only thing is you must make the models blend well in the environment otherwise it don't look good.

Lookin' good Sitters ! Can't wait to play this one ...

Thanks, I know abbs can make a good gameplay for it.

Impressive. That looks like a place that could really exist. I like it.

Yes, Risen3D has more sophisticated model support than GZDoom. The vertex based lighting for models, for example, means a dynamic light placed near a model in Risen3D lights only the bits that the light falls on whereas in GZdoom if light strikes a model, the whole thing becomes bright. ATM Graf has other priorities so the model handling in GZDoom is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future whereas, as you know, Graham has more interest in working on models and refining model support so he is still adding improvements to it.

Spectacular!

That's the look I wanted to go for in one of my current works, but sadly it falls short. However, I have put several of your industrial models to good use.

[Firebrand]

Very nice! It looks really good, keep it up.

[sitters]

Just a way to say, that I'm still working on the new map.
Its not going fast , making new monsters, update textures and mapping,
all together cost a lot of time.
