thanks! It's a custom texture I made for a separate WIP tree/foliage experiment:
At some point I'm planning to add this and some other foliage based stuff I've been working on into a wad
Work in Progress: What are you mapping?
- Thread starter Fairweather
- Start date

Progress on my Reliquary map. Experimented with the visuals and a few prefabs this weekend.

I guess u expected such question
How did u make those blinkin laser fences? Very fast plats?
Yeah, I thought someone might be curious!
In the screenshot I posted before, there are 2 halves of a tube brush bobbing in opposite directions (-1 and -2) with a 0.01 wait time. A full bob cycle in a small fraction of a second. But only two halves bobbing like that left a gap in the middle. Couldn't see it above 60fps, but at 60fps or lower you could start to see the two brushes separately, and the illusion was destroyed.
I have since added two more brushes bobbing at half the distance (6 instead of 12) to fill in the middle and make it look better at a lower FPS. Now, even at 10fps, there's no split between the brushes. Looks more solid. I also shifted the textures around on the brushes a bit to make it look a little less uniform.
60fps
10fps
I also added a clip brush to prevent it from shaking you senseless when you stand on top, but also a hurt trigger on the top and sides so the electric fence actually hurts (but only 1 damage, as a deterrent but not too big of a hazard).

Been tinkering away at this one for a few months now. I work on it for a few hours here and there between other stuff. It has a loose story about infiltrating a heavily fortified stronghold deep in the swamps of another world to retrieve a rune. Player starts in the swamps just outside of the stronghold and must weave their way through cave tunnels and knee high muck to reach their destination, followed by a frantic ascent through the structure leading to a large, vertical exterior area riddled with broken walkways and hidden caves, all focused around a distant tower branching off of the main stronghold that contains the rune. Here's some screenshots of the blockout so far:
^ Starting room. Player spawns just below camera position.
^ Early encounter. Starts from base of central structure, leads to button at top of "tower" that opens the door at the bottom right
^ Large exterior silver key area (very unfinished)
^ Top down view of entire level so far. My ambition on this one might be a bit out of hand, but it's fun, so whatever

Looks awesome so far. Hope this gets released in some form eventually
I've got a lot of experience with BSP under the Source engine, but Quake and Trenchbroom are all new to me. I'm building what is turning out to be a pretty large level as a way to learn the tools and encounter design. It's a mix of base and desert temple themes.
Nice screenshots, and welcome to Quake! I like how there seems to be an angled support motif in both sections.

Here's some screens of a Knave episode that I was making before Dwell happened. Might revive this at some point, there's still lots of life to pull from the Knave set imo.

It's called "Thirteen Tombs of the Brilliant Dynasty". AD map. It supposed to be this Xmas Jam map, but still working on it. But also not too far away from finishing it! Only 3 encounters and corresponding areas left to make (out of 17). So far wasted 3 weeks on it from scratch

Working on a map that's Mirror's edge Inspired? Became very ambitious at the start but I ended up scaling it down until it became more manageable to finish. Hopefully I can finish in time! Just blocking out the whole map atm

This looks incredible! I want to see more surreal abstract horror stuff in Quake like this.
