WIP - Valkryie

Super_Sunny · Post by **Super_Sunny** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 11:02 am

I have been working on this for some time now. It's basically a map called Valkryie, which contains a good push to the Halo Engine while retaining the quality and essentials to make a map a Halo map.

Latest:

I'm putting much time into first working out the gameplay for the map, then working strongly on the lighting. A good contrast between light and dark allows for some beauty I'd say.

Very nice, tunnels still look like "rock" more than dirt/mud.

Thanks!

I guess I could cubemap the "mud" a bit to make it more muddy looking!

I edited some things.

Very nice, the rocks look less hard and more soft so that's an improvement. The lightning is phenomenal, as well as the underground pit.

ya, i like the holes in the cieling and the water in the pit. the lights are also a nice addition

Simply amazing. This map really represents a different possibility of what the Halo game could have been like. Can't wait until the release.

Thank you! Indeed, this game is capable of so much, I really don't know why Bungie didn't use it all : P

TomClancey · Post by **TomClancey** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 2:24 pm

I think its because Bungie is a bunch of lazy asses. (keke, jk =p)

On Topic: Great work so far, can't wait to see more and more =)...

Good Job!

Like I said over at GBX, great stuff, love the backpack usage.

ahhh.... that looks so nice!

i wish i could beta test. too bad i have a REALLY bad graphics card. It would look horrible on my computer.

EDIT: wow! that dirt stuff in the cave's bump mapping is looking really good.

Yea the ladder looks to bright and clean considering ur in a mud tunnel. A custom one would look alot better in my opinion. Maybe make it real old looking and dirty. Btw the map looks great.
