Level Design [WIP] WF-Hell's Corners

[NorthDumpling]

I've started working on my new map (previous maps will be updated as well), which is called Hell's Corners and telling us a story of fighting for La Barquette locks being a part of a Mission Albany in Normandy , where germans have opened the gates and flooded whole Carentan area, while Allies assaulted it later on.
Map will also feature whole new StugIII G tank and M1A1 Bazooka with whole new rain screen effect, providing an ultimate gameplay expirience.
Here are some progress.

Looks great. Especially the puddles in the potholes effect . Does the framerate hold up?

Yeah, as for now framerate is pretty much stable due to FX draw distance and some cull distance planes.

Looking good.

Are you going to make new specular textures for the Jeeps, and other such meshes for the game or no?
I would recommend removing the HUD distortion effect, it's very visible on the first screenshot. I'd go the way of Otori, and use small draw distance rain meshes, with a rain material on them, rather than a bunch of FX emitters, which decrease frame rates by a large margin (look at SugarLoaf as an example of this).

Yeah, I'm looking for a way to make and use new specular textures for vehicles and other assets. With same success I can just take thoose from Otori Shima as well as ripping out rain from it. And rain from Otori Shima dont have rain splashes, which ruins everything. I'll see what I can do in order to save performance.

 

[Dziga Vertov]

Yes, rain splashes are crucial. Playing on Otori most of the time you are unaware of the rain's presence at all, which is kind of boring, and I think it has to do a lot with the lack of splashes.

 

[NorthDumpling]

Also specular textures on Jeep for Otori Shima looks too damn wet, I think its better to leave everything as is.

Ha I actually thought the first pic was from BIA lol

 

[NorthDumpling]

Heh, it should be better than BiA in the end ;P
