[Showcase] The Gambling Capital

[Olrox]

1. Concept
 

Here comes another map which has another new feature I've tried so far. I showed this one on my facebook site and people loved it and they were really interested about how I did these lights on it. Perhaps some mappers wants to give a try to this.

The Gambling Capital is a small map or a small area inspired in Las Vegas. My customer asked me to recreate a "modern city" full of life and colors. In the reference you can see the caesars palace in las vegas and thats kinda the idea of the map: iluminate everything.


2. Features

• Light on models: There are plenty of color lights on the structures as also in some palm trees in the map. This effect was possible by doing a looot of tests and errors in game.
• Some custom buildings to fit the modern style.
• Effects everywhere! sparklights, fireworks, and so on
• Some representative neon signs, like, the market area has some pots on it. The cabaret area, 2 alligators having fun. The casino, some dices and that sort of stuff.

 

• 3. Video *watch in HD 1080p*
   
  

  If you want to enjoy the fireworks, please watch the video

   

   
  4. Screenshots
   
  

  Some screenshots. There isn't a particular order or purpose on the screens here, just some overview screenshots and maybe some others that has to do with close ups.

Love all your works, but not this one.

Why is the ground unlited? And this blue/pink light on the buildings, just ugly

It looks more like a psycodelic horror place

[Olrox]

The fact that you cant see the ground doesn't means that its not present. I guess you have never tried to do a map with this effect in your life. FYI its necessary to have a low sun to enable this way of lights.

The only horror I can see, is the way how you express yourself. It pretty says everything of the kind of person you are. Perhaps all this people that loved this map is wrong for you?

Note: mind everyone that I accept all criticism everytime, but only if they come with a good manners. Not this.

[Moriarty]

Who said that I can't see the ground? What is needed to create this effect means nothing, i'm saying what I think about the final result.

I'm sorry if you interpreted my post as offensive or rude, it was not my intention.

Again, why is the ground unlit? You said yourself, "a "modern city" full of life and colors.", and the whole ground is dark?

And.. why would I care about what other people thinks? I saying my opinion o.O There is no right or wrong here, this is a matter of personal taste. 
There is basicaly, blue and purple lights on the buildings, to me, its boring, you'll never see something like this in Vegas. And where does this blue/purple lights come from? Are the building emitting light? 


Well, it's my opinion, you don't have to agree or even accept it. Again, I mean no disrepect at all, you are the best mapper I have ever seen, but I don't think this map is like Vegas at all.

one thing for sure, there is nothing 'horror' about this map. infact, i was mind blown when I saw the models...how did you do that??

I think the colors you chose for lighting are perfect. The only thing I do kinda agree with PcPocket is about the ground.

I think it would look more lively if the lights reflected on the ground and if the ground was a different color perhaps?

 

All in all, this is another masterpiece I really respect your talent.

@kasumi

Thats pretty nice. I wish I had sometime to do the maps I want.

 

@Adel

Yea the ground is black, actually my customer and me agreeded to do it this way, we liked it as it, but I agree that maybe it would be better if it wouldnt be too black.

Muito bom o mapa, as casas são iluminadas por tga 32? ou é muros com iluminações, obrigado e tenha uma boa tarde.

[miczster]

I think its awesome...I also like it that way( the ground part)...I think it really depends on the one who looks at the map

 

OLROX new fails to amuse me...(wish i had a percent of you're talent)..

[Moriarty]

Just to finalize my thoughts.

 

recreate a "modern city" full of life and colors

 

I see a city with two colors, and a dark ground.
