Nightime Defiance (relighting experiment)

[Drummer.unr]

Cr4zyB4st4rd and I decided to have a little contest by entirely relighting DM-Defiance into a night map.

We each removed all the lights and started from scratch.
We also opened up a passage that seemed to have been part of the original design of the map, near the 50 Armor.

We decided early on that performance was not an issue and shouldn't be taken into account when setting up the lighting. It only had to look good

I made a flythrough cam that we both used to make a video.


Here's the results (Watch in HD!!!):

I think there may be a bit too much blue in that thigh pad shot. And unfortunately although we've got some nice videos both darken the maps slightly so screens are truer to the actual result.

I voted for Drummer.unr. Both maps looked nice as far as I can tell from the videos. Cr4zy's what a bit too blue. Are you guys going to release these maps?

I do prefer Cr4zy's music selection as Drummer's almost put me to sleep. I want to know is who had to do the Kismet/Matinee work?

Sounds like a fun "project'... Take all of the daytime stock maps (DM preferred) and convert them into night time maps.

p.s. You can take Heat Ray and set it in the day too.

There were no plans to release they were just for experiments because drummer was too lazy to make a map and light it, so i suggested modifying a stock one and then decuded to do it myself. but who knows.

And yes, we've got ideas for other maps too. Infact think we'll both be starting the next one tomorrow.

Ninjaedit: Drummer did the awesome matinee flythrough.

Any chance of uploading the maps, kinda like them both.
