Title: Basemapshots discussion
Post by: MCR on May 17, 2011, 12:03:30 pm

I'm having some problems here to reach the same light&shadow quality on the new basemapshots.
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Here comparison screenshots:

Old basemapshot vs new basemapshot:

For now I will just commit 2 new basemapshots for 'construction' & 'laser', because I do not want to replace anything with something that simply looks worse...  :P

now I'm reaching the quality desired ;-)

Take a look:

As I told you before construction doesn't need an image as it won't be visible on basemap ever.

I thought you may use it on the basemap during the building phase...
