I'm thinking sunrays and omni lights probably. Still very impressive.

Sunrays are too big and they shine wherever, and omni lights do not give off rays like that. If I had to guess it's probably a standard search light with a custom color.

I don't know, I've never done it, but it seems possible to mess with the scale/height of the sunrays, to fit this sort of thing. I could be wrong though.

I was sorta hoping no one else found the trick with the Braxis cliffs, cus I wanted to use it.
Anyway, here are the aesthetic pics of my 2nd MOTM entry, Cerberus Plateau, check out the map thread if you're interested, I could use some comments regarding the layout, so far they've only been about the aesthetic.

Haha, thanks for the nice comments people! Always nice to know I'm still capable of doing good stuff. And yes, it is from D3 Act1, more specificly, it's the exit from the Spider queen room.
About the door lighting effect, @NewSunshine you pretty much hit the nail right on the head, with me using sunrays and omni lights to create the door effect. I used a total of 3 sunrays to create a effect for my liking, changing their colours, sizes and adding in omni lights to make it look like the light was spreading to the outside area bit. Here's another screenshot from a different angle.

@Gfire
I really like what you have made in those last screenshots! They're simple, yet very nice to look at.

Edit: Nearly forgot. If anyone wants to have a closer look at my d3art test map, feel free to link me a free upload website I can put it up on. Sucks that megaupload is down.

So many Briiicks.
Oh well. Not entirely happy on how it turned out, but I guess it's ok for now.
If anyone is interrested in taking a closer you, you can find the map file right here.
And before anyone ask, no, this is not good for gameplay. Performace issues ;p

Looks good. Sadly I think the texture resolution is too low to scale the doodads up that much and still look good. But the overall impression it gives is quite nice. Feels a lot like Diablo, for sure.

Begone, nephalem!
Looks great again. The resolution thing is a bit of a bump, but not a big deal in this case.
