The name isn't set it stone just yet, but Ive decided to make this a cove because I like cove maps =]
Ive always loved the wartorn cove maps and snowtorn cove just steals my heart.

Now, Ive got to make this more like a cove, that has a garden but its not going to be like a castle garden with the hedges but more like a custom, human like garden. It will have flowers and stuff in the main building, but it wont be overly exciting. This is a warzone, not a omg garden lets have a tea partay.

So, first off is im working on some textures, and here are some of them.

As you can see, this looks really dark, but I hope to be lighting this up a big and fixing up the bump maps, as I dont know at all how to do. Ive just been fiddling around with alphas, shaders and etc.
This is a screenshot of what the texture looks when theres a dynamic light (flashlight) on a certain angle.

That is one unrealistic bumpmap =/

Ive got to make the bumps lighter, yet still have depth but if you think you can help me give me a call!

Ill be posting in here, and I think Ive gotten betterish at bumps than my first build with this new texture.
My old one was:


That doesnt have any dynamic light, because heh there was no bumpmaps so they really do make a difference.

What do you guys think so far?

Im still yet to have designed the middle section, but Ill do it sometime on paper when Im really bored and I dont feel like doing homework.

Ill get some overview shots in a bit, but I think some of you guys have seen some of it. Right now, Im just getting the bases perfected and Im working a bit slow because of school and stuff.

UPDATE 2
Yea, Ill get that now, and there isnt a "map" yet, its just a base so far =p

Pretty simple layout for the base, theres a side passage from the lower area, and theres a passage to a sniping tower on the top and a main exit area.

And, heres some updates on the.. horrible bumps.




If anyone can help me do the bumps, atleast teach me i would give them an e-hug.


As, you can see I have been REALLY working on the bump maps, they are really pissing me off as they only work if you put a dynamic light one way.

Yea, thats the textures fault partly.
