looking nice ... I like the setting too ... however the grass looks to fakeish ... my suggestion

your grass images are like this |||||||||||||||

with grass so solid like that it is easy to see that it is on a flat plane ...

why not lower the amount of grass on the images

so it is like || || || || | |


... then add more grass meshes so that the thickness doesn't change

do remember that "xonotic is fast paced" is only an excuse for pro players who are good at moving fast ... slower moving noobs will see graphical things more

... I think I love you Big Grin That's just awesome... great quality too. Already feels like it's gonna be one of the best maps. Oh please let it become an official map (I have to test it first before I can say though). Is there a link available for this version? I'm not seeing it on autobuild bsp.

And love you too :3 Really nicely done, from a distance those look almost perfectly real.

Stop quoting the whole message all over the place, these images are everywhere and I don't know where your repiles are Tongue

I love the looks of it, kinda makes me think of tribes.

One question though; that rock at the left, somewhere in the middle.. Is it possible to make it blend in with the terrain?

EDIT: Woops, sorry Mr. Bougo, turned it into a link now Tongue

My bad, will remember not to again (the image seemed small otherwise I don't quote). But yes, that's really awesome and I hope it will be an official map eventually.

Don't know if is a good idea to add those shadows...

Nice map. And agreed on the shadows, very nice looking.

Looks very atmospheric and as many of you know... I LIKE ATMOSPHERE!

After playing Half Life 2 again I found out how they did make the grass. A simple fall off to the alpha channel of the texture reduces the clipping. I also paid attention that the meshes don´t sink into the ground and cause clipping again. Aaand I modified the grass mesh that it looks more natural. Big Grin

It looks much better now, no rough clipping Smile

What about not using just one plane, but using several planes grouped with different grass textures crossed with each other?

Like three for example, each with an angle of 120 degrees difference, so you'll get this *

Just trying to help improving the awesomeness Big Grin

This does highly increase the amount of polygons (ugh, bad) and also looks unnatural. The grass in the map Solarium uses this method and it really doesn´t look that good nor is the performance the best.
Reply

Yeah, Solarium's grass has annoying triangles on top as well and looks pretty fake imo.
Reply

Solarium is a box map, needs unboxing for better performance.

Ah okay, I was just wondering Tongue

I guess it's better to stick with single planes then.

Possible, sure. But im not totally sure where i want them in the final design, so ill just leave them separate for now (blending requires the mesh to be seamless)
