a fake shadow in plane? that is my last step to finished the map^^

Just thought I'd mention that your grass is using neither a shadowmap, lightmap nor an alphamap.

A lightmap is a static simulation of the effect that light being cast from the sun (or otherwise) would have on objects. This includes both shadows cast from objects and objects occluded by the lack of light (such as back facing objects). Technically, the landing map only uses a shadowmap on the base terrain to help define the curvature of the hills and one on the crater as well.

An alphamap on the other hand is typically any texture that utilizes an alpha channel to accomplish something relating to transparency/opacity effects. Although this data does not have to be in the alpha channel slot NOR does this slot have to even contain data relating to transparency, this is the typical usage seen. Just because a lightmap (or in this case, your texture) is overlaid on top of another texture with features of both textures present does not mean that an alpha process is being used.

In this particular case, your texture is serving as a detail texture if you are using a multi-texture pass. All this means is that you have a layered material with particular blend functions to control how the textures stack with one another to accomplish a more varied and vibrant final results.

The grass texture on landing actually uses this approach to bring 3-4 textures into a final grass effect.

You probably got that from this picture right?



That's what you get for not using shadow maps. It's improbable to make out shapes and distances. Piccolo in this picture, is probably at the ridge of a cliff, but since there's no gradation in the grass textures it all looks flat and on the same plain.

No way, 2 times or so.

by the way why are you always replying like you were felling addressed that's kind you don't have any hobbies^^
you guys are really that negative if you can do it better why don't you try it yourself sorry that you guys are really that jolly clown for don't understanding the word:beginner seriously I noticed your help TRL I'm getting help now or ill learn it myself to add this shadowmap

This thread severely need more moderation.

Stop bickering. If you don't have ANY constructive post to make that will help him in the mapping process or improve his map, don't make it -- PERIOD.

The map is coming along great generally speaking. Slap in a 3D skybox, add a few clouds, maybe some of TRL's bushes/trees/rocks, and try to compile with the LIGHT stage to see if you can improve the results any.

Dagger, please remember to start with the quote tag when quoting (keep cleaning these up).

I'm new here but that doesn't mean I can't contribute. And my contribution is telling you to desaturate the grass so that me and others won't go blind. Maybe put a little yellow into it but what you have right now is an eye sore. Furthermore it's fighting the characters for attention and that's never a good thing.

One last pieces of advice

It's better to finish one fantastic map as opposed to finishing a bunch of mediocre ones.(in this case not finishing) What this cell games map needs is this

1.Colors that don't fight the characters for attention. Play down the saturation.

2.The road to the arena seems rather pointless but if you must have it might I recommend that you too change it's color to something that's a bit gray brown

3.Use references from the show and your own sketch layouts and make a map that isn't too big for it's own good. I love large maps but when they are too big it's kind of a drag.

4.If possible(I'm not sure if it is)make destruction textures for each different types of textures. One for grass, one for mountains, one for the arena etc.

5.Your tank model should not be 800 tri's or even close to that. There is no reason to make it look that good. You can fake a lot of things with textures. The way you should be modeling background elements such as the tank is by starting with simple box modeling. This allows you to keep the tri's really low and allows you the freedom to add on top.

6.Make sure the cell arena is about the same size as it is in the show. Though based on how fast movement is in this game it could be a bit bigger than that.

I don't expect you to listen to everything the main things should be fixing the colors and layout

Good luck brother! Wish I could do what you do!

thanks some of this helps I noticed now but the map is in max size not that netradiant till now allowed to build also I want to make much mountains for seek and hide^^

Thursday, December 09, 2010

not a big update but this time its going to be a little change but only for the new tournament (by the way funstuff I won't let you fight in the tournament because your using more nicks !!!)

I'll add in the next update TRL´s: bushes,rocks , and trees like landing maybe.
more mountains and clouds then it should be ready for a test and maybefor the tournament

(3D skybox and fake shadows and the clouds will be only added in final renders)

for tourney map only: tourneyboard with all registered fighters will be added front of the arena
yes some mountain fixes will be done

yes I am a beginner I'm not that good like Baldwin or Toebi our pro maper

guys will see in abuot 3 weeks

here are my latest pictures from my map

info: this is the tournament version at if you go out of the arena and touch the green part (not the brown because its part of the arena) it says ringout I'll show you it when I'm back home
