Never commented on this but i think this map was the reason I even looked into mapmaking.

after all these years this map is still really cool. very dream like

Hey @Eeo. Added you on steam as would like to talk to you about converting the map to use for Air Racing (can check out my workshop map to get an idea). If you get chance, hit me up and we can talk about it :)

I don't get how to download the map wtf

Very cool map. Cool atmosphere, fun to freestyle through, and it's nice that it isn't as stressful as the rings maps since there is no penalty for crashing. Thanks Alexey!

Just beat my record xD

What are everyone's times? I've started speedrunning and my best time was 129.72 [intended strats/glitchless]

Cool, made me think of a Peter Gric painting or brutalist architecture in maze form

güzel map

very cool map. I really like it!

rly nice map.but I think easy.

very cool

esta muy padre

Great map! Lots of fun! :)

I just tried it again and it worked dont know what i did differant tho

I tried using rocket launcher but i kept getting an error

How to launch the map in game?

Best map. So much adventure. I wish there was some type of collectible

it reminds me of robocraft test area

nice map but poor job with textures!

pog

wow nice

udk is just very hard to get into thats why there are hardly any maps xD

good job team

wow nice map :)

Video is very nice

damn this is a map what i was looking for

If I made this map and was doing that video, that would be like take #12593 for me.
Love this map btw!

Really cool, Good Job :), however a bit dark in some areas.

@dmc, Thanks. It's basically impossible without the approach I've discovered to create blocking volumes. Maybe you'll find it useful as well. It's impossible to both track the CSG elements and their blocking volumes. Adjusting anything becomes 2x work and you're unlikely to get it right every time. So to avoid this, just create the CSG. Then, when you're ready to try your map out, create a brush the size of the whole map and intersect it (Ctrl + I). It will create a "super brush". From it create a blocking volume and add sticky walls to its material in properties. Save the map, try it out, when you're back in the editor delete the whole blocking volume. Pain? Yes, absolutely, but still better than keeping track of individual blocking volumes.

nice

I also forgot to mention that you aced the dimensions. The rooms feel big and open, which is great for creativity and freestyling. Some of the earlier obstacle maps (some of mine as well) were guilty of creating an environment that was too confined and claustrophobic. My biggest take away from your map is that a fun obstacle course can be created without trigger volumes. I am inspired. :)

nice chill map, i love playing freeplay when watching youtube or podcasts, maybe this will replace it.

This is so cool! Keep up the good work!

@dmc (continuation 2)

By the way, it turned out to be so unbelievably difficult to come up with designs for these obstacles. When you have a car that can fly in any direction it's really-really hard to box it in while not making the level repetitive. When I was flying through your maps I was thinking "Yeah, I can do this. I have so many ideas". 90% of those ideas were scrapped when I got to the actual map making and I really started to appreciate the work you've put into your maps. And then I've opened one of your maps and saw the Kismet layout. OMG! How many hours went into that?!

@dmc (continuation)

Regarding arrows. I actually had them at first. Then I realized that if you can drive on the walls, then they are not really needed, you can just explore the map the first time you go through it, which is also part of the fun. And you only have to do it once. Then I've sort of accidentally found out that you can just as well fly it the other way, which adds to the variety, but then makes the arrows even more of a problem. At that point I've decided to turn this more into a playground, deleted all arrows, and tried to use some visual cues about where the next rooms are. I wouldn't say I've succeeded, but hopefully at least in some places you can sort of feel where you need to go. Maybe :) I'll try to do better next time.

Thanks everyone for the comments, appreciate it!

@dmc, your maps inspired me to create this one. I've spent countless hours honing my flying skills in them. So you leaving an extensive opinion is extra valuable. Thank you!

With lighting I actually had to cheat. I took whatever the default UDK3 template for midday light was. It already has a dominant directional light and a fog thingy. I've tuned down the dominant directional down (from 5 to 2). Fog contributes to the overall ambient light feeling, but some areas just end up completely black. That's where I've cheated, I've added a directional light with all shadows disabled and pointed it exactly opposite the main one. That more or less provided pretty equal ambient light throughout the level to help normalize the darkness. You have to set it at something like 0.1-0.2 to not create a feeling where dark areas are lighter than they should be. Feel free to just open my map and copy the lighting if you need it for your maps.

Very beautiful map. The structure feels like a futuristic building. I love the geometry and the architecture. The use of your main material (tile) works really well here and creates a very clean looking map. I also like the material that you used for the windows/glass. The obstacle course was fun and dynamic. It involved lots of different directional movement and each segment felt fresh and rewarding. The extra time you spent building the lighting really compliments the structure. Did you use a dominant directional and a skylight? As DiamondRhino mentioned, the map can feel a bit like a labyrinth. Some guidance arrows could do a lot to guide the new player. Really solid work my man. +1

good

This is a really cool map, I feel kinda lost in it, but it's pretty. The only real problem I encountered was with some hitboxes.

cool

hey is reallye cool

Real nice map!
