I'm working on mappack almost every day for 1-2 hours at least.
Currently i'm attracted with modeling custom prefabs/decorations in 3ds Max.
But I have some mapping progress i don't want to announce.

Neat effects.

Haha.. funny.. totally different environment then!

Looks nifty.. but its too 'jumpy'.. like jello...don't care for that, but popping up is nice.

Nice!

But, ymm, what's the command for wireframe? And others, if there are any?

Command is "rmode (0-9)" where "rmode 1" is the wireframe we see here and "rmode 5" sets everything back to normal.

rmode 1=wireframe
rmode 2=unlit
rmode 5=normal

(In 227, rmode 1 makes all visible geometry wireframe. Neat stuff.)

I'm surprised I never saw this project. Is it still underway? I'd love to see other pictures of work you've done.

My first attempt on making a decent landscape:




Still WIP, textures need proper alignment and so on...

Maybe a little more zone lighting is needed in the second shot. The tops of the cliffs are VERY dark. It doesn't look very natural.

The first shot looks great!

I like the vertical nature of the first view.

You are definitely improving! Keep it up!

Impressive.. most impressive...

Finished terrain:

Wow, I really like the Japanese-like mini hills. My only advice is that you use a bit more trims (e.g. the cave exit in picture 1), but other than that nice!

yeah definitely fix that boxy looking arch in the side of the mountain, give it some trim or make it look more like a cave - other than that, looking good. I'm not one to give anyone advice on terrain (lol), but the lighting on the terrain looks like it could use some more work, as there are definitive triangles here and there that don't look natural. The brushwork looks very nice though for the most part.
