I sometimes don't like colors this vibrant either, but I think in this case it makes the setup look more magical. If Kaka can pull it off using that much color, then I can't wait to play this. :tup:

Nice pic. But you will need to make those trees available for download, unless you have made them for this contest.

Pretty sure those are BSP trees, actually :)

It looks like it, at least.

[Edit] Wait no what the hell am I thinking, there's no way the engine wouldn't completely shit itself if those were BSP, let alone light them properly

I love the use of colours. It's like food for my eyes (& it tastes good). :D

I like the lighting, I just think the colors are to strong. Maybe raise the saturation 20 units are so...the blue seems to overpower everything.

Wow, someone said magical. That's the right term to use here. Don't reduce the colors' intensity, the strong colors are what helps to create that distinct feeling of a tropical place, a warm summer night somewhere in a hidden and sacred corner on Na'Pali. A safe haven.
Mappers too often try to get the lighting too mundane (they don't try to get it to look mundane but that's what they get ... including me, I whish that screenshot came from me).

Magical or not, I can't stand them. I'll have to desaturate my screen when playing this.

My advice would be, don't prejudge the map. Play it as the mapper intended it, and then rate the lighting afterwards.

Screenshots can be misleading sometimes, I think it'll look better in game.
