Is it really that unclear? I get a lot of feedback that my visuals give you seizures. Of course, it doesn't show up on lower graphics but people tell me that a lot and I don't really see it.

Edit: Still feel it's a bit spartan though, if you look like a map in a similar style like Daybreak there's so much more stuff going on it seems everywhere. (though doodats are pretty cheaply copied and mirrored from one side to the other I guess).

"change the lighting to make it easier to play on"

That. A lot of people say my lightning use is unclear and makes their eyes hurt.

just do not use aiur or any custom setups that have that much blur and emphasize on specularity + light emission.

"Is this a mapping forum or a discussion about maps?"

I am asking if the lightning is too blinding, I have a sensory disorder, I cannot see that myself. Surely this is a discussion of if the art direction I'm taking is appropriate? I have no intention to blind people.

This looks like cell shading... pretty cool, but not sure how you did that. Any tips for lighting or some other magic that makes this happen?

So freaking gorgeous, Oxy. You've heard it from me before, but there's an almost cell-shaded look to this, which I think is absolutely awesome.

I'd like to show ATTx's most recent TL map's art.
From his thread

I think the floating light boxes almost as bits of information or pixels in a holographic display is really cool.

Not nearly as good as some of the stuff in this thread, but I'm happy w/ some of Shadow Swamp's aesthetics.

Looks really nice Siskos, this lighting for a melee map could be difficult to deal with, but as far as map art goes well done!
