by adding some silhouette and spikey variation it looks a little more geonosis. starting to look a little better

custom skybox for Geonosi

Adding in a custom skybox for Geonosis was one of the easiest things to do on this project. I had never made a custom skybox for a map before. So plus one for doing something new and expanding my skill set. 

Fixing the light issue

Fixing the light issue

 

2 hrs

• It was an issue with the angled stadium seating that was a world brush chopping up the bsp tree

• Turned them into “func detail” ents as so they no longer chopped up the world…

• Pc prob couldn’t handle the math

• Left them on initially to make more areas to chop up the map, but prob dont need

• That piece would probably be a maya prop anyway

  • With manually drawn area portal cut offs?

  • But the map is mostly open air, so the whole thing would prob render

  • Only the back tunnels and basement would benefit from the old school quake room by room level design engine

• Still dark, but fixed

• Will adjust light source next.

• Then cont texturing

• I want at least the outside sun light source, so texturing / screenshots will look nicer

Started Texturing

Started texturing

•  2 custom textures. Based from republic commando, brought into photoshop
• Had some issues with the sun… light env
• Spent too much time trying to debug it
• I wanted non “full bright” to get a better screenshot with the new textures….
  • Eh, prob not worth the time at this stage

I’m pushing myself so hard so I can finish this project. I can’t see the end yet, but I’m getting closer.

Kylo Ren Lightsaber 6_8_16 Update

Worked on the “grip” part today. I’m not very good at creating textures from scratch, so why should I? I’m a modder! So I took a few base textures, photoshopped them, and edit it till it looks awesome! Used a lot of photoshop techniques for this guy.
