@Rondidon I've worked on many levels in the past and they all came to a screeching halt because I got to detailed to quick. BTW, IMHO this level looks nothing like wolfenstein or DOOM. Trust me, me and 3run just worked on a doom level, and this is MUCH better than doom and wolfenstein.

@Roxas I'm woking on a 4 year old notebook. a Dell Inspiron 1545. BTW, how much of that screen shot is WED level blocks, and how much is assets (models)?

One of the doom engine feats was walls with other angles than 90°. yes in ws3d are only 90° walls...oh and "multi-floor" came with doom too. ^^
edit: sry multifloor came with RiseoftheTriad. A mod ws3d engine.

I know xbox can do great doom maps by the way, what i saw from the screens. Maybe you posted your warehouse a bit to early xbox.

@Roxas
Yeah looks really nice, fits as Rondidon said already.

Thanks @rayp. I'm beginning to sense that I posted it a little early. I've been watching this thread for a while so I felt obligated to post, what I'm working on. Oh well, I guess we live and we learn.

@xbox
Well to be honest ^^ Nothing is WED Blocks. Just a Skycube and a flat block plane underneath so that the lighting affects the models properly.
I often try to reduce the polycount. I delete faces you're not able to see anyways and so on. Textures are all handmade in photoshop.

@rayp and rondidon
Thank you ^^, but its not finished yet. I think I'll add some more little details. the next 2 maps are also designed.. on paper that is but I like to draw my maps before i get to work.

Mother´s Den 2 takes its shape slowly:

Is the text on the machinery in the first picture supposed to say "cation" or did you mean "caution"?

Otherwise, looking good so far! Maybe use some higher resolution textures to add detail to your maps.

And happy birthday!

@alibaba: Try HeelX's SSAO-Shader and use Normal Maps. That would really improve your visuals!

Salud!

Thanks for the hints
I´ll try to do that, my goal is, that it also runs on old pc´s.
EDIT: the other half of the word is missing.
"purification" is written there

Just a first test. Not final, especially not the colors. I`m aiming for more variety and more realism to get more interesting levels. At the same time the polycount is 20% lower compared to previous levels.
On the technical side I`m using Blender 2.63a now and export my levels with Blender FBX export instead of Ventilator`s old Gamestudio exporter to get them into WED. While I had problems with UVs in older versions of Blender, the newest version seems to work flawlessly.
