[WIP]Ilum: Sanctuary

[Snake]

After doing more work on the Museum, I am again, beyond sick of working on it. So I needed a side project for when I get frustrated with the Museum. Well, I have never made a good snow map so I decided to make Ilum. So far this map is awesome. One of the biggest features is that I have used only models that I MADE.  So this is not just re-using Rhen Var stuff. Although, I may use a few of those props. I have made tons of models and it looks great so far. Also, finally, the Talz get to appear in their own planet's map!

Here's some pics:

-More ruins
-Fix Sanctuary
-Build Talz stuff

I think your old Crystal map is good.

Try imgur.com for the pictures. Works every time for me.

Lol very good.Hey now with the new gloss effect you can make and shiny ice in some places.

Looks cool, Snake! Perhaps you should take Ginev's advice and add some shiny ice to some parts of the map. Other than that, the map does look pretty good, same with adding the Talz and Snow Jets. Just curious, have you decided on using some of the Clone Wars episodes for reference? (The one that has the Padawans in the sanctuary anyways.) There's some good scenes you could use for reference there, if you haven't already.

That's a great idea! Thanks!

Yeah, I've seen the cartoon one and the animated one but most of those buildings are out of my league..

There's a ton of ice models that were scrapped in the Rhen Var assets. but some are more transparent than others.. Maybe they couldn't decide which kind to use so they scrapped it.

Does someone want to do me a huge favor and give these gloss + maybe fix the transparency difference..?

This looks awesome Snake 

[Kit Fisto]

Those could be awesome for infantry battles in between huge ice models.

When fighting the Talz, the only thing you can do is call an airstrike..

What I think would be really awesome, is if you had a completely new effect that looked like a huge shock wave and blue explosion, and it killed everything within a CC courtyard's radius of its hit. (Rumble should go a little further to stay accurate.)

But you only get 1 ordnance, and it doesn't recharge with a R4 unit.

It would be a major hit in the map.

[Gold Man]

It would be a  *put on sunglasses*  major hit in the map.

YYEEAAHHH!!!!

I couldn't resist!

But yeah, that would be cool, I like the screenie there Snake, I'm looking forward to your new take on Ilum.

Well, for this map I didn't want to edit the sides too much. But, i think that is a great idea. I don't think it could be a courtyard radius because it'd probably destroy the bomber too. xP However, I will give this a shot!

---Edit

The new bomb! (I know it's backwards but I'll fix that)

Not to condone your work or anything, but... it really looks nothing like Ilum. But, it's in it's early stages so, lets see what you make!

[RepComm]

Ilum is more crispy than snowy, so probably yeah.
--
Not sure exactly what you planned, but I think the missles Phobos posted about would do rather nicely http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=6527.0

I love the explosion, wasn't that in one of the Apex glitching mods too?

[Kînnjax]

Crispy, is an excelent description! It's also.. jagged. Sharp. And fluorescent..? But yeah! Ilum's lighting comes from the crystals itself!


Edit: Like the next post says, this is a good representation as well.
