c2p.zip: C2pub - Environment map for Quake2, Half-life and Sin by Murray Christian (contact: fluxion@ii.net) Created in Bryce4 released August 23rd, 1999 This is the public version of the sky from 'Midday at C-plex City' (ccity2). A map for Action Half-life. Basically I took all the buildings I made for that sky, rearranged them to make it more generic and re-rendered it. This kind of sky works a lot better if it is custom made for the map, but this one should be ok for most uses. It works best if the map doesn't allow the sky to be seen too far below its horizon. (that's a free tip btw) What you don't get: in the original version the clouds were prettied up a bit, made less Bryce looking and a few other touch-up things. Credits: There are three models in this sky: Autodesk headquarters, Building (umm) and The Chrysler Building. all of these are uncredited but thanks to Avalon for hosting them. (visit http://avalon.viewpoint.com/) The rest was made by me, via the techniques of terrain wiz Yuji Nishimoto (visit http://www.enjoy.ne.jp/~hwp/index.html) Links: My tutorial: http://www.gamedesign.net/quake2/tutorials/bryce2/bryce2.shtml Other skies: http://aqmd.action-web.net/res/skies/mjc/index.shtml thanks to the folk at the AQ Mapdepot for the hosting Web site : http://fluxion.ii.net/ (nothing sky related) Instructions: Quake2 uses both versions of the sky; Half-life and Sin only need the .tga files. for placement and use of these files check Primordial Soup's procedure. http://www.telefragged.com/soup/ and check out Darc's own lovely skies while you're at it. Agreement stuff: If you do anything with this sky, please tell me about it and keep this .txt file with it. This sky is free for use by mappers or anyone else not trying to make a profit from it. If you're not sure, drop me a line. (you might be surprised how agreeable people can be). sorry about how crappy it looks in software; the Q2 palette needs more blues or something ..next, a night time version of this sky. enjoy MJC.......... aka Muzman (fluxion@ii.net)
