the making of...CS_wallstreet:
A miracle!! There is site called nyse.com and guess what
it is about...oh, yes, New York Stock Exchange. And what do
they have there? A 3d rotatable view with different view points!!!
|
This is the
page. i love it, i really love it. If it didnt exist i
couldnt have made a single brush in worldcraft. Go to
the site and try the 3d
view. |
|
So at last
I started placing brushes. I tried to have the same distances,
angles etc.
This is a view from federal plaza, to the right of George
Washington´s statue. |
|
Here you
can see Morgan Bank and Federal Plaza. I was quite shocked
to see the limits of the Quake 2 engine. I was used to
q3 and to use lot of brushes, and i mean a
lot. |
I had to test several times the engine limits.
I couldnt use the exact distances for the street because buildings
dissapeared in the distance. I had to make everything a bit
more "compressed". it is not bad now because it
took too long to get into the building and Counter Terrorist
were in disadvantage.
This shot show you some of the areas where
the fighting would occur. The first screenshot is a Counter
Terrorist position. They can cover themselves using the van.
The second shot shows a sniping terrorist position. Counter
Terrorist can easily kill him going over Morgan Bank with
a stair that is near the spawn point and gaining a more protected
position. So if you are sniping you are uncovered. CT also
have 2 main entrances and 1 alternative by taking a stair
in the NYSE facade. I spend quite some time moving vans and
moving brushes here and there so that you were always in "danger".
|
Then i started
adding textures. You can see the I didnt use stairs because
they add too many polygons. I also moved George a bit
to the front so that you can hide behind him. |
|
This is the
NYSE facade. The textures are from that corbis picture
with watermark and the columns were made in photoshop. |
|
View from
Federal Plaza with the famous Wall Street sign. |
|
Here you
can see a worldcraft shot. i still have to add lights
so it will look much more realistic when i do that. |
Well, that´s it for the now. I stopped making this
map because of what happened in New York. I wont continue
it.
