MN Gazala Line (Preview)

[UncleDrax]

Try to make it part of the next MN release

I think that's what the "no MN surprises are in this picture" is about.. Moe's showing off the map, but not showing you anything that hasn't been officially disclosed by the MN team yet :]

 

[Jaek]

Your map looks really fun

 

[Britney Federline]

I think that shot is beautiful. Nice going Moe!

 

[2fisted]

Looking good! Looks like a scene from "A Few Dollars Moe".

Here are some more screenshots featuring some of the new weapons and vehicles

Keep at it, Moe!

 

[2fisted]

Very nice moe! I like the new additions to your map, the gnarly dead trees look cool.

I must have missed the official Chevrolet announcement

Vickers .303 :drool:

You might want to change the textures here:

Any suggestions? I tried alot of the stock textures and didn't like them. Still, I actually ended up using one of them, but I changed its color and went with that.

Looking good Moe, keep up the fantastic work!

I would suggest something not making it that obvious that the engine lacks normal/displacement mapping. I always thought that texture looked especially flat.
Have a look around and find something on the net, or take a pic yourself somewhere.

Nice catch on the Vickers.

Thanks everyone for the comments, praise ( we shall have to wait and see on that) and criticism. Especially criticism, so I can make improvements where I realistically can at this point in time.

Would you consider adding some items around the houses (Shot00205)? From what I see, it looks very, ah...empty? I personally wouldn't know what to do as this sort of environment is unfamiliar to me, but I'm sure the residents had a few items outdoors.

EDIT: About the bridge, perhaps put a cap on the "railings," something perhaps with a darker stony texture for contrast. Uhm...maybe some projectors pointing on to the bridge that show an overlay of sand? Something to break up the texture.

How about reset the scale of the texture -- maybe try 0.25 and do a 90-degree turn.

 

[worluk]

the texture is tiling enough as it is, and scaling it wont help the huge difference between shown and actual z-depth.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

I will be looking to see about finding a better texture to use, I looked briefly and didn't see anything I liked at all. I did try scaling the current texture as I was creating it and it looked very tiled.

As far as projectors, D'oh! I don't know why I didn't think of that. I used ALOT of them for shadows (including the bridge shadow) and to create different colored terrain in the fire/cooking pits.

 

[Bommel]

What about this?

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Interesting, I will try it out when I get the chance...Thanks

>>>Hobo, I imagine the inhabitants cleared out and the English took over, but I do agree, I could add a few more things that they might have left behind.
