When you say pie, do you mean pi (3.141....; irrational number used to find the measurements of circles) or does that have absolutely no relevance to this.
Firstly, you are an artist (IMHO), and that is bueatiful art.
Secondly, I am going to guess you mean pie as in pi, 3.14 because of the large numbers of curves....if not then you have me. I just have to say that is pure bueaty.
well since we are talking about pi, lets rate these shots with the pi scale,
perfection being - 3.1415
outstanding being 3.141
good being 3.14
My score is: 3.14159265354!
Great job, nothing could make that architecture any better. *tear*
You people are so wierd.
That looks...currrrvy. Do you die if you fall in the fog at the bottom, or can you run around in there, too?
Well, Truthful Liar, is that what you meant? Pi, because of the curves? Yes. I do like pie lol.
Nice shadowtrooper tweaks. (the decals)
I think there's a reason he said "pie" and not "pi."
I don't know where you get your delusions, laser-brain.

Only the humble variety. :D
The architecture looks good, but the texturing looks a little bland. I know it's going with the same theme as the duel map you made, but why not throw in some new textures?
Nice work man! Amazing curves!

Thanks, as an aspiring designer this means alot to me. :]

Because I don't have to. You'll see so much variety in NRG's FFA Map Pack. (Not to mention I'm planning to work on 4 ffa maps.) :-)

Thanks, I try.
And guys, seriously, drop the whole 'pi' thing! Pie is pie and there's no mistaking it. :P
I downloaded the video, there is a glitch in it so I can only watch aboout the first 12 seconds.
If you have the latest codec it should work.
Where does one get the latest codec?
BTW, the first 12 seconds were nice!
http://www.divx.com), go to the downloads section, get the smallest download, without addware.
Those are some kick ass screenshot's that look's like you took month's to do and im just d/ling the video now dude's.:D
Wow this map is very cool!
Downloaded the video. Nice job!
I took a look at the leader board during the movie "leader: -17"
Woah.
I'm recognizing this from your other recent showcase thread. Especially the conveyor belt-looking thing that is suspended above the fog.
A few higher res pictures. They're similar to the others, just more detail added in the shots. The main reason I'm posting these is because I've just finished the hinting and caulk hull so now I can add as much detail as I want (to an extent) and concentrate on the rest of the layout. >:]

Expect more screenshots of other areas and finished detailed hallways. :-)
I downloaded and watched the video and i have to say your map looks cool and where can i download that shadowtrooper skin thats at the top of this page :P
Truthful Liar ... must ... be ... stopped ...

As a matter of fact, this is just a start, about two weeks worth of work. :-)

Not yet my friend, there's so much more to come. ; )
Expect follow up screenshots in a few minutes, if all goes well (the compile) that is.
wow, I am impressed with the speed of how this map is evolving, very nice work as i have said before, cant wait to see the new screen shots ( in game ) ;).

I'm a truthful liar, what can I say? Actually, I'm not lying, I've made this for something in particular (as well as other skins I'll be working on) and won't be available at all untill we finish a special project. ; )
I fixed some of the lighting and added yet some more detail, don't fret though, I get an average of 110 fps in this map and there's still more that can be done to optimize it. :]
Would you all like some cream with that pie? I sure would. :-)

Ooiii.
is that lighting? with the cool effect of shading? or some thing else?
Nice. I wish I could make corkscrews like that. Why do all the mappers that are excellent with architecture map MP? We need more SP levels. (of course, I may be biased. I only map SP) I know it's much harder and more time consuming, and fps is more of an issue because of the reborn "advanced" AI. (again, sorry)
Lite, it looks like well placed light entities. Which is it? Shaders, entities, or both?
Ahahahaha, the Cult of the Patch Mesh claims another soul...
Awesome work, man!

No, that's not lighting, that's just a fluke, I like my maps pitch black. ; )

New cheesy video available for download. This time made by yours truly at 4 am.
Not very long, but certainly worth the little time it should take to download since it shows everything I've done so far.

yea thats what i was asking, if i was going to re-create that, thats how i would do it.
This is incredible. True originality. It's not enough that one has the considerable skills to do things like the corkscrew, you also must have the imagination to even be able to design anything as surrealistic as that. I only now begin to realize that your name, The Truthful Liar, is in a certain sense very fitting to the ethereal mood of your maps. My humble congratulations.
Uh...way too deep, there.
*surgically removes lassev's lips from The Truthful Liar's butt*
*looks up* What? It needed to be done. :D
That's probabaly the most well-worded thing I have ever read on these forums Lassev, you're a natural born poet :)
That corckscrew style structure is a wonderful bit of architecture and lighting, very nice indeed!
That's probabaly the most well-worded thing I have ever read on these forums Lassev, you're a natural born poet
Second most well-worded thing I've ever seen on these forums. I saw one thing in the swamp about how great video/computer games in general are. Really long and very, very, beautiful. It was incredible read. Lassev, yours is really good too.

Is there any tutorials on how to patch mesh?
The map ur making looks better than before and it was cool then to bad you wont be releasing that shadowtrooper skin anytime soon truthful :(
Wedge has a reference thing on his site on simple creations, but nothing like that. I made my first successful simple patch mesh. An entire bathtub. Not much, but hey, it's a start.
ive never seen anything like this map before...... yet again a intresting map to try when it come out ^_^
I love the floor (catwalk) shader!
lol i cant help but say i love those textures!!!! i need to learn how to make moveing textures like water that swirls around >_<

That's exactly what I was going to say, if I had seen this earlier. Excellent shaders. I hope I can eventually make ones like that.
I don't really know what it is but I like it :D
OMG i want that map now! It looks so great and the shaders look cool.
looks great, what else do you have left to do on it? and just curious did you make those textures yourself or did you find them?
I love the dome on the top of the pillar with to corkscrew around it :D. Can you climb up there?
It's not too bright. I like it.
