Which version should I release? (map t2_wedge) "Kril'dor"

[Darth Sion]

I've been working on some more Skyboxes.. This time 'round, it's the mission in Single Player, where you find yourself teaming-up with Wedge Antilles to bomb and destroy an Imperial tibanna gas platform on the planet Kril'dor. According to the information found on Wookieepedia, Kril'dor is a giant, green, gas planet and is a known source of "tibanna".

(Source: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kril'Dor)

As you can see below, the base map is very "yellow", bland and doesn't match the colour of the planet's atmosphere. So, according to public opinion and your own personal preference, I'm including a poll in the thread, below to vote on which version of the Skybox you'd like to see released..

Base Kril'dor




Kril'dor (v.1)




Kril'dor (v.2)

 

Kril'dor (v.3)

 

The poll will close at midnight on Tuesday 8th March, in time for the mod to be released on Wednesday 9th March.

Happy voting!

I'm pretty sure the original didn't have a moon, so 2 is my choice.

Well I can't speak much for quality, as it looks like JPG compression ate up a lot of that. In terms of how the colors work, it's going to be either 1 or 3. I picked 3 because 1 has a very obvious seam which can be seen on the first screenshot. Maybe Kril'Dor does have a moon though? I don't know, I don't think that should matter.

 

btw, v2 looks like a good replacer for bespin if you should decide to replace all the textures for bespin. It always bothered me how Bespin was orange in the games, but very distinctly white in the films (@@Langerd's really cool Bespin map does a good job of what I mean)

V2

Or v3

The skybox looks too much like Bespin, so it should have a skybox that looks different. I would choose number 2.

These skyboxes are from a pack that I've seen for q3 I think.

The skybox is not made by me... i just changed it a little and i was not tinking about uploading the map so i didnt bothered about author permission

 

Since now... Damn...

 

 

About the map OvO I always liked it (one of the best sp missions for my opinion). And now it just look Rly cool!!! . Default one is ugly, Second one is from Bakura so it just little weird (even if it looks nice) ,But for the skyboxes i think that last one (green one) looks great. But only one thing is .. it just look low quality D: It is very pixelated. With fix, little darker look and more color pallete will make wonder ^^

 

But as we all know.. Jk3 sp maps where not very good :S

For me at least .. it is not my taste. I dont like the style of them , the look of vjun (but some places where ok) and other things) There is not enough amount of the movie atmosphere.

But we can at least use the textures to make something cool - still

THe one with the Moon haha

[ensiform]

Well that's because Jedi Knight games aren't movie based Lol

The planet is supposed to be a gas giant like Jupiter, so the base skybox is perfect in my opinion, as far as concept goes. The coloring issue you pointed out isn't necessarily true, you can see the green sky in there.

 

I guess I'd go with the 3rd one.

[Darth Sion]

I decided to improve the 2nd and the 3rd versions by upgrading them to higher-res versions and included some new screenshots, below. The final release will also include 'levelshots' for the menu system, that showcases the new skybox.

Kril'dor (v.2)

 

Kril'dor (v.3)

 

 

[Fuse294]

I like them all, so why not all three under different names like kridor_sunset, kridor_cloudy, etc.

[Raz0r]

I think 3 is easiest on the eyes

[lang_french]

I prefer 3, more uncommon than a blue/white sky. And this light/stars are a nice effect.

[Darth Sion]

For all commenters, I'd ask if you can place your vote at the top of the page, prior to leaving a comment, as this will help with the final result of the released skybox.

Thanks!

[Clan FJA]

why not something like that, with a day/night cycle ? https://jkhub.org/topic/4590-moon-shader/ It is really amazing

[Fuse294]

Well I suggested release all 3 rather then leave it to choice, because all 3 look amazing but there was no vote options

[GPChannel]

if v2 will win please give me v3

[ensiform]

Doesn't the original suit the map the best being it fits the planet?

Apparently not, otherwise I wouldn't have done a new skybox, would I..

[Langerd]

Hmm .. You should change the color of the light from the sky. If skybox is green th tone should be a little green.

[ensiform]

You wouldn't be able to do that without the map source and a recompile.

[Light_mert]

imo v2 is The fanciest
