Impressive use of skybox

Definitely! Gets my vote for best skybox ever!

Its very nice looking, cool dark and peaceful. It could almost be a shame to fight over it.

hmmm, maybe if you added the void water tag and tried to extend the skybox around so the map edges werent as obvious, very annoying taking decent shots for desktops when the map falls off into infinity at the side.

::drooooooooooooooool:::

WOW!! I am so getting that map!

Nice pyramid and buried saucers.

Epic

Oh man that looks good, If I may suggest that you change the fog colour to black so the terrain gets swallowed up by the dark horizon at distance.

Love the skybox.

The map lighting seems slightly out of whack with the skybox. I'm not sure what it is. I think it needs to be a bit more misty, and there needs to be more blue...

Yes, definitely make the fog black.

Very good. I like it. The sky box is VERY good. Look forward to playing it!

You do need to fix up the fog however. Set the colour to black, and the fog density to a much higher value, about 0.5-0.6 at the least i think. The shadows could also be a bit darker. Then it would be a very very impressive looking map.

I'd set the fog to 0 or less, to see how it turns out. If it's under zero, it even darkens the interface a bit ^_^

nice map... I wish it was bigger.

*glare* I bet you hear that kind of thing a lot. This map kicks total ass. Nay, it kicks total assihilation. And nothing could possibly make it better. Except proper fog.

And by whatever diety you worship... if the metal placement is bad I'll set your hair on fire.

Ok all I made a few changes: Added a Typemap (my first ever) made it so that water reflects (aka raised the water so it can be seen) changed some of the lighting, darkened the shadows a bit, fixed the fog and made a small adjustment to the metal. should have it up very soon to DL (a few hours to a day tops) Until then here are a few new screen shots of the revised version. . . . enjoy

looks very okay, now u just needs some rocks on it

Very spooky. *two thumbs up*

It would be cool to see it lit up with explosions :)

Would be cool if a weapon could be made that was actually a flair, would be awesome to see enemy units come into line of sight under the glow of a flair off in the distance.

Looks like core pyramid you fiend!!



Im just messing with ya, a very nice looking map! Are the sacuers and the pyramid features placed over terrain, or just terrain? if its just terran you have done a very neat job!!

Where is the skybox from? Is it one you made from scratch or did you find some good source images?
