The one-week Environment #1 (Closed!) Updated with screens on post #1

[Acies]

Okay, I've had an idea.

Gather a bunch of people, variously talented in mapping, with the goal of having each of them create a similiar-looking environment under the time-span of one week.

I will attempt to provide models, textures, particle effects, tweaks etc. to fit into the environment during the course of the week. At the end of the week each participant will have their own (hopefully beautiful) environment; which will be showcased in this thread with a "beauty shot".


The ultimate goal is to have it looking as beautiful as possible! To your help you will have me and other users participating to share tips and tricks for making "stuff look better". As everyone is working on a similiar environment the tips and tricks become directly applicable to your environment.

So.. Let's get started!

For the first week we will draw inspiration from Khyrpa's beautiful screenshot showcased in the "Screenshot criticism thread".

So the theme is water/underground/temple.

I will update the main post with my progress as well as post links to models/textures I make. Use this thread to post your progress and recieve feedback. In case you want to make a request for a custom asset, post a printscreen of your environment and draw a figure of what you want - where in your environment. I will pick up on some of the requests made and make those assets available for everyone participating.

In case you make any assets or discover any neat techniques; share them!

This thread is all about making something good-looking through sharing!


Due to a swedish holiday coming up this first run might be two weeks.
