Something

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

I have been working on some stuff just been messing around...

http://www.planetunreal.com/onlinewarriors/1.jpg

http://www.planetunreal.com/onlinewarriors/2.jpg

the new statics are the face, hands,trees,ice mountain ( one section the rest is ut2k3 stuff), and the land bridge

the skins are not finshed for the the face so it looks rather plain.

[legacy-TossMonkey]

Great concept, keep up the good work! :)

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

I am still missing alot of details i want to put into it so expect this section to grow

[legacy-Stu_Man]

hmm..where have i seen them faces before ;) :D

looking good man! cant wait to see more of it :up:

[legacy-/\psalus]

The Wall! w00t! :D

[legacy-[King_Snorkie]]

Uhh don't you mean 'The Division Bell', if not I'm thinking of a different thing :)

Cool looking meshes man :up:

[legacy-DeRailer]

very nice way of expression. The screenshots reminds me of Dali. ;)

[legacy-Stranger_NL.]

loving the screenshots!
Make some snow on the trees so that it looks like it has just snowed...

Maybe some semi-transparent icicles somewhere... (that would be cool ;) )

[legacy-P1nky]

Pretty eye-catching of a map there ;)
I love the look of the face, and the way the hands are, well modelled.
Just one question; isnt the walkway connecting them a bit skinny?

[legacy-Ph0b0s]

WOW :D

Keep it up :)
That'd be a great area for a CTF map.
Love the faces ;)

it is 256 width... yeah it is a tad skinny :) np it is easy to fix up :D

Since i will have lower areas to enter the bases than i will make mid area where you will have two lifts on it or jump pads not sure... yet...

I hope I can finsh this one so far it is going rather good. unlike my last try... which was tech type map with all new statics here is a pic

http://www.planetunreal.com/onlinewarriors/d3.jpg

this one was kicking my arse and still is... I plan to finsh the face one first though than the Baranco remake with the tech static brushes shown in that pic... and many more..

OMG, that's hella artistic:eek::up:. I can't believe what some mappers R coming up with for UT2k3, it's amazing.
Well better not keep you away from ur mapping :p, get on with it I can't wait.
Good luck

[legacy-tUmAdRe]

Looks good..maybe even better than some of epic's maps )

Those are some sexeh "tech" statics :cool:

[Plumb_Drumb]

Nice work Rogelio. Very original and eye pleasing.

I think its awesome you are redoing Baranco too. :up:

[legacy-§uper-]V[oose]

Looks great Desp. Now get back to TO2. http://www.apam88.dsl.pipex.com/files/smilies/elkthumb.gif

[legacy-Demonos]

The work so far looks "Unreal" pardon the pun :)

Desperado mapped for Tactical Ops (you are the same guy, right?) so I'd expect nothing less then a high quality map from him

That was what I thought to :)

Desperado(TO desp) maps rocked :)

Hi BabyNuke btw :D

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

yep same guy :) you can also see by the name rogelio :)

or short is rog :D

I am very pumped about this map I really like how the style is looking.

[legacy-Railgunner]

very abstract

Looking forward to making a review of your future map on Warcenter :) :D

[legacy-yakkern]

fantastic hand meshes man, real surreal stuff, maybe and discount this at will but the mountain looks a little to angular but im sure you have this well in hand, top lookin map dude
:D

[legacy-DanM]

no more gayass **** n00b maps, plz :)

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

http://www.planetunreal.com/onlinewarriors/4.jpg

not much yet :( these are only some stuff I though were pretty cool :)

Next shots will be a lot more advanced into production.

I am going to start remaking some the mountain side and make my own snow mountains... and rocks. Reason is the ones that i used are streched a lot and make the top snow look wrong so I have to make new ones... plus I am sure I can make them look better :)

[legacy-Helios]

Very nice :), and good luck with the rest.
I'm really looking forward to this map.

[Plumb_Drumb]

Yeah it looks good so far.

The architecture is a little busy in the mouths now (so much to take in, in such a little spot), but I am sure it will own us all in the end (no pun intended)

[legacy-Devastation 8]

Hmm...CTF-Voodoo?
kinda reminds me...

[Plumb_Drumb]

I am putting this thread on the first page for those that haven't seen it yet.

:)

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

thanks :D So far the map is going good... and I can say that what you have seen right now in these pics is nothing compared to what the inside of the base looks like ;) The next shots will be most likly when I am around 3rd done with this map... I may just put a little teaser shot today just to keep this thread going.

it is really fun and satisfying making everysingle static mesh for the level. I can already see these static meshes being useful for a remake on an old UT map ( think gothic castle like... shane church )

[Plumb_Drumb]

How will the performance be in the end, do you think? Is there an out-of-box map you can compare the fps to?

I am just a little worried that, even though there will be a ton of static meshes and I have a decent system, the performance may be lack luster for such a good looking map.

:)

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

the stuff I am doing currently is well enough in the standards of most Ut2k3 maps so far the fps is as good as maybe december or mybe in the middle of ctf-december and ctf-magma...

All static meshes are around the same of UT2k3 ones. I am not going to go overboard just yet this is my first map for this engine so I need to understand the limits right now and I am looking alot of stuff from the maps in the box to make sure to keep things optimized. ( also reading lots of stuff tutorials etc... )

I think the map will run very good once I am done i am being very careful of that. I have a pretty low end system myself I do not want to make an awesome map that has crap gameplay or can not even be played lol.

edit///

The middle part in the pics is most likly not even half the polys magma has in one view.... I say it might be a third...

[Plumb_Drumb]

Excellent.

It should run better than Magma then, right? after optimizations are completed??

[CliffyB]

That's looking TIGHT!

Cliff

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

as said before here are a few teaser shots... Shane church UT2k3 style ;) btw that nice tile ceiling that bends... it is acually a static models with the indents... So it is not just a nice texter hehe....

http://www.planetunreal.com/onlinewarriors/5.jpg

http://www.planetunreal.com/onlinewarriors/6.jpg

Things are going well the statics are very simple but very effective imho...

edit///

btw the first and slightly in the second shot... I am using the free cam camera... so it may look like it more tight than it is meant to be... if you see the door way at the end of the hall it is 512 high and 256 units wide the hall is around 512 units or so... plenty of space. I just saw that and the shots looked odd...

[Plumb_Drumb]

Wow, man.

Don't get hired too soon, I want you to map for UT2k3 a little while longer, k?

;)

That hallway really does give me a feeling of UT, at least from looking at the screenie.

Great!

You've got it made now, Desp!

0wnage map, cliffy?

[legacy-PRiMeEViL.SiN]

Sure the eye candy looks top notch, but hows the map actually flow?
I'm sure it's great though :up:

Too late, he works for Kamehan Studios, the team that made Tactical Ops.

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

hehe yeah :) but no worries I still make freebie maps I love mapping and everything with game design :D

thanks for the comments :)

[UnrealGrrl]

sweet looking stuff, luv the look of the 'hands' map... and that last hall very cool atmosphere and look...

cant wait to see a remake of ctf-baranco! that map enjoyed many hours of fun for me and lotsa other players :)

keep up the good work! :up:

[legacy-Drekkus]

Those pics look kick ass! Can't wait to play it.

[legacy-Colonel]

those screenis look like the The Things game... good job..creative

[legacy-r3t]

omfg that church hallway looks amazing
I haven't seen a lot of ut2003 screenies that impressive

[legacy-solidflux]

looking very awesome! I can't wait to see the final map.

[legacy-Shag]

wow!

Can't wait to see the finished map.

Nice job (again) Rogelio! ;)

[legacy-Radeon285]

Damn.... thats some really good mapping man, I love the meshs

name? CTF-Closer
the name dosnt have anything to do with the map, sounds cool though ;)

[legacy-sonik]

Wow!!! That map looks beautiful!!! I can't wait to play it. I love eyecandy with good flow. Is it gonna be a run and gun map or more stealthy??

[legacy-Tweak-fragger]

dude sorry for the late reply but those hands look wicked cool !

[legacy-Winged_Nazgul]

Shag posting on the UT2K3 forums! This will add more fuel to the rumors of a UT2K3 version of Tactical Ops. /me goes to add more fuel.

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

I worked with Shag for TO/AOT so that might be why he posted here :D he is a my boss and internet bud in a way ;)

edit//

Oh yeah... the map is going well i am around half done... now...

the map has a lot of inspiration from Lord of the rings and some other films... plus my own stuff... I might releases a beta in around 3 weeks or so... reason it is that long is because I am getting close to finals in my school and projects have to start right away...

Thanks for the comments… This map will get full beta testing and I will not release it publicly till it is pretty much perfect I will not do the mistakes some of the first ownage maps have done with architecture that stops you a lot and annoying things like that… I feel some of maps being released have forgotten that this game is a Multiplayer game where you encounter a lot of action and getting stuck on mere little stone sucks…

Little ramble… :)

[CliffyB]

Screw school!

And send me the map ASAP so I can beta it.

:)

Cliff

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

LOL

If you would like I can send you what I have right now it is only half or maybe a bit less done... construction wise...

I have np sending it so you can have a look at it... but I will not rush this map I love how it is looking and everything is being done with a good pace to really bring an impressive map to the players of UT2k3.

[legacy-Loosecontroll5]

Hey Desperado.

Check your PM's.

:p

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

msg sent ;)

I am also not showing pics of the map till it is done... reason is that I want it to be a surprise once you guys see it while playing...

[legacy-Tweak-fragger]

new pics look cool as **** bro i cant wait

[Grim]

Jesus Desperado, that map looks so sweet. Cant wait to get my hands on it :p :p :D :D


btw this map deserved a news post on Warcenter ;) :D :D imo

[legacy-ThrasherX9]

You've got some nice creative artwork going in there. Make sure it has awesome gameplay and flow too and it could easily be the better maps for UT2K3.

[Grim]

any updates ?

[legacy-Desperado#2-Rog]

Small update on what I am doing... I decided to stop the ctf map for a bit... I am currently half way in finshing my 1 vs 1 map with these static meshes... It is acually a remake of my last map I did for UT... only it is bigger in scale and has more paths... but the idea and layout will be very alike. If you have UT make sure to Download the UT ORM-1vs1mappack here is the link to my page

http://www.planetunreal.com/onlinewarriors/

This is my map/art portfolio :) have a look at my art if you want to see something different :D later all... school is getting close to finshing and I am hard at work with projects... so.... For 2 weeks I will be pretty much out of the net activity...

Trust me when I say that the ctf map will make many ctf maps coming out currently look simple... and yet the frame rate will be great :)

[Plumb_Drumb]

That was probably the best 1on1 mp in UT's history. (that one by DavidM and Co. was pretty good too, makes it hard to decide which was better...)

[legacy-TheRipe]

looks cool

[legacy--=WhiteWulf=-]

This map is a total pants creamer :eek: :up:

[legacy-kiddailey]

:haha:

[legacy-Slack]

You gotta name besides CTF-something yet?

I suggested CTF-ToungueTied, I think it works.

Can't wait to add this thing to my server, so hurry up please.
