[Fx]Drone 9 years ago sprang is right http://zero-k.info/Maps/Detail/13698 it looks interesting but seems like people are obsessed with snow maps lately, I really hate the white glare of maps like nuclear winter, why not make it red :( +1 / -0
Failer 9 years ago (edited 9 years ago) Pink! Make it pink! Like this - Drone would be delighted. +5 / -0
Anarchid 9 years ago (edited 9 years ago) FWIW this is the first snowmap by Yak. I'm somewhat surprized a the departure from the 'crystals and stones' theme. Expected something like Granite or Basalt first :P +0 / -0
Meep 9 years ago maybe there are crystals beneath the snow? ;) +0 / -0
TheMooseIsLoose 9 years ago TheSponge World Machine sprang Yes correct [Fx]Drone I hate that too, so a challenge I recognize with this map will be doing lighting in a way that makes the snow and ice look realistic but not blindingly bright... which is a challenge because realistic snow is blindingly bright in direct sunlight. If you want a lesson on how hard red can be on the eyes go play an older version of Violence for a nice long ffa... even without the inevitable eyestrain it becomes difficult to make out enemies in ZK because of shades-of-red coloration. Red maps need to be pale and/or dark and are tricky to get right. +2 / -0
Orfelius 9 years ago Is it the free version or commercial version of World Machine? +0 / -0
TheMooseIsLoose 9 years ago Commercial. Free version won't export maps higher then around 512x or so. +0 / -0
TheMooseIsLoose 9 years ago Just a thought, if Orfelius or anyone else is looking for free a program that can make heightmaps at high resolutions check out TerreSculptor: http://www.lilchips.com/hmes.htm I played with it a bit and it seems to have a lot of potential. Free while in alpha. Not sure of it's texturing capabilities. +1 / -0

aeonios 9 years ago I have an idea of how to make snow look right, although I haven't had much of a chance to play around with that. +0 / -0
