Oh, and I wanna make a bottomless pit with fog but I don't want the fog to affect everywhere. I just want the bottomless pit to be foggy, not the rest of the area. Is that possible?

You might want to look at using this ... sounds like it does exactly what you want it to...

There's the possibility that you could use fog with a high FogStart value and a slightly higher FogEnd value, and the Density being 1.0. This'd mean the fog doesn't kick in until a minimum distance, and when it does, it looks thick as if it was there the whole time. May not work like a charm, but it might work.

@Rector: In that third picture you need texture variation. The last one also looks a bit dark. Everything else looks good!

Someone, I don't remember who, once showed me how to use a smokestack entity with appropriate parameters to create volumetric fog. It can look really good if you do it right.

Your light model appears to be backwards and doesn't seem to light up the wall it's on. Other than that it looks fine to me.

Yea that is what I was noticing as well. I'm pretty familiar with that model in particular, and it looked awkward.

Why would you inset that model, its one of the few that looks better when you don't.

  • Nice displacement
  • Nice brushwork
  • Unique environment
  • Interesting shadows

Everybody Sh**** themselves about a light.

True, but one ugly thing that stands out distracts from the overall appearance of the location the specific flaw is in.
