SP map type

I will present some random screenshots of the levels I've been working on for some time now. Like many others, I started from a scratch, meaning I had no previous knownledge about mapping. There are 12 images, so I won't be posting them here. If somebody's interest is aroused, I may later on put some right here in the thread.

For the images, see the site:

The project is currently about 80% mapped. Cinematics are half way done. Skinning is likewise 50% done (1 of 2, eh...).

That skybox, wow, good looken stuff man :D

First reply! Thank you. The skybox was made with Terragen. I had some premade atmospheres from some site, so the kind of romantic (how else could you describe it) sunset was easy to make with only some refining and change of settings.

Yes, and as a hint to anyone using Terragen, I certainly suggest trying to import images from your favorite painting program, even if you only use it for making some peculiar mountain or such. Those spiky mountains that can be barely seen behind the pavilion are modified with Paint Shop Pro to the ground file (map, whatever) of Terragen. EDIT: Likewise were the island mountains in the sea scenery made with PSP.

For those interested in SP levels, I'll post a few screenshots.

From a level start cinematics:

And almost very bottom (the glass shader in the doors is not properly detailed, but then, this is the first time I compiled it):
