Minoda Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hey, been wanting to start a thread for a while for all my mapping happenings. Decided to kick it off with one of the buildings from Star Wars: Visions, the Ninth Jedi. Put this together within a few hours so it's a first pass. Hope you all like it and would love to hear your thoughts! - Mino GamerRedNeck, inb4poof, Torki and 16 others like this Link to comment
NumberWan Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Why mediocre? It's actually very neat! The building might not look as smooth as in the above mentioned anime, but getting that kind of dome, attached to a different form from the other side – might be a bit tricky. I guess, you could use more Bevels, Cylinders and Arches for some parts of the structure. For example the entrance could use 2 brushes as walls and an archway above. You can use the Thicken option to complete the look. However, as I said, I like the cubic form of the dome you'd created: it could certainly look that way if the builders used square parts. Not sure about the mountains – is it a recoloured MD3 or is it a Skybox? GamerRedNeck and Minoda like this Link to comment
Minoda Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hah, thank you! The dome is actually just a solid sphere brush chopped in half. I am really struggling with creating hollow domes at the moment. I'm quite confident with bevels, cylinders and arches but it's where to put them is what I'm having the issue with. I get to a point where I just sit and stare at the map until I think to add something to 'flesh it out' a bit more. As for the mountains, I believe they are vjun cliffs. I tried hoth mountains_a and mountains_b but for some reason they weren't rendering properly. Link to comment
ZanderNao Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It's an excellent start, and a great idea to take as a source! The interior is particularly nice. Extending the ground out a little further from the house might give it less of a floating island feel and beveling the edges where he sharp corners meet could make it feel more realistic, but it is already better than many can do and has great atmosphere!

Tchefuncte Bonaparte Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Great start! I've been wanting some visions content for this game. Been trying to work on the Ronin myself but I don't really know what I'm doing Minoda likes this Link to comment

Minoda Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 A new map I've created for RP to be used as a 'trial' or 'lesson' for Force Sense. - Start chamber - Pitch black labyrinth with multiple different passageways to the end - End chamber I haven't quite figured out how to get surfaceparm forcesight to work yet so the glyphs won't appear in MP but I'll get there eventually. For the time being, we need to spawn in NPC's throughout the labyrinth. Went for an old temple type feeling to it with atmospheric lighting from torches and crystal lamps.

Minoda Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Some sneak peaks at a new urban market district I'm creating. Kind of a nar shaddaa type feel to it. I'm still not feeling too confident in my own textures but I have done a few neon signs for it. Most textures are from neotokyo and mb2_cmp_nar_shaddaa Quite happy with how its turning out.

DrXann Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Looks like a decent map so far. Minoda likes this Link to comment
NumberWan Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I like the way it gives away some Quake 3 and old Jedi Academy vibes. Really nice job! I also missed the screens with the city – Coruscant, right? The noodle shop Did you use Netradiant here? Minoda likes this Link to comment

I also missed the screens with the city – Coruscant, right? The noodle shop Did you use Netradiant here? Nah this is an "upper city" on the planet Bacrana https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Bacrana_system Equally there's no reason someone couldn't pretend it's Coruscant for RP purposes I exclusively use NetRadiant Custom It's the tool I've had the most luck with in terms of stability. GTK just crashes on my machine sadly. Link to comment
NumberWan Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Oh, I see. Bacrana then. Netradiant is very good in terms of moving walls, and adding something by perfect rotation. GtkRadiant has a few plugins however, and I sometimes combine working in these two in order to get the necessary results. Minoda and BlindDaThief like this Link to comment
Minoda Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 White Bantha Shipping Company A map I created quite a while back for a story arc in my RP Community. The headquarters of a crime syndicate based out of the Instrop Sector, using an organisation called 'The White Bantha Shipping Company' as a front for smuggling spice and other nefarious activities. The map saw the culmination of the arc as three of our Jedi formed a strike team to capture their leader and disrupt their operations for good. I'll be releasing this guy soon :)! - Minoda Spoiler Landing Platform Spoiler Entrance Hallway Spoiler Audience Chamber, Force field and Pit Trap (Activated by console behind ledge) Spoiler Rancor Pit (Because ...

Cor Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 In regards to "The Wayward Star", I hope "personal ship map" doesn't mean you won't be releasing it . Wood in a spaceship is a nice surprise. And I especially like the conference room. Minoda, Circa and GamerRedNeck like this Link to comment
