Lighting Maps... - SonOfLiberty796 - 10-01-2012
I suck at them. Like, REALLY suck at lighting up maps. It's to the point where everyone can definitely notice how bad the lighting is, and as we all know, even the smallest things, like lights, can effect on how someone looks at your custom story. It's a big issue for me on how to light things properly because it's so complicated (well for me anyway
) and I wanted to ask... can anyone help me out with lighting my maps? Only lighting, nothing else, unless you actually do want to partner up with me and help out with making my custom story.I know chances are small in actually getting someone to team up with me or even just getting someone to help out with a request (usually it's just tips and tricks and all that, which does help, but not for me when it comes to lighting
). Most of the time it's a "solo job" when it comes to making a custom story 
But I just hope that someone can help me out with my lighting issue or even teaming up with me.

It'd help to post a screenshot of what you have done so far.

I was thinking of taking screenshots from the level editor, so I can show what kind of lighting I have done and the parts where I haven't.
However, there will probably be a lot of screenshots because I would have to take pictures of all the maps I have done, which is about 6.

And I'll post pics tomorrow, I gotta do homework and then sleep haha.
EDIT: I'll post pics whenever I have the time to do so. Lately, I've been busy and haven't had time to work on it.

I'm terribly sorry for taking about a month just to finally have the time to upload my pictures, but I was pretty much busy and haven't worked on my CS since this thread was made.
However, it's so many pictures, that it won't fit in just one reply. I would have to create 3 - 5 replies just to fit all the pics, so I attached the pictures as a .rar file. That should be ok, right? I hope it's ok with you guys.
Note: FRAPS sucks so much at taking pictures of the level editor. It glitched the pictures up, however, you can still see the level editor ok. I hope that works, and if not, then I'll try to take the pics again without FRAPS messing it up.
As for the gameplay pictures, they're ok, but are darken -.- the usual FRAPS problem when recording or taking pics for Amnesia. All pics were taken by using FRAPS.
EDIT: Wait, are the attatchments even working/showing? I can't see them, but it says I'm using 168.58kb of attachment usage...

User CP - Manage Attachments - Delete some
RE: Lighting Maps... - SonOfLiberty796 - 10-21-2012
Ok I deleted the old attachments, but the attachment I'm trying to use isn't uploading/isn't showing on my previous post (I think because it's over 1MB... lol), so here's a mediafire link:
