it would probably look nice to have the red parts of the rockpillars glow.
Working on the lightning. I added a tad of red. I'll show some screens later.

I haven't really done a whole lot with glowing props and I only found tuts that work with XSI and I don't have or know how to use XSI.

I think now that Illum already has crystals it'd be too many maps with them. Additionally I don't really think they would fit that well here.
naru1305 wrote:think about to add some glowing lava
I considered adding lava. I haven't got it working as a water texture, yet (Though I'm still trying to). The second thing I read about is that it would be possible as prop with some special texture. Do I need to model in that case or is there already one out there (that doesn't have the hills like the mustafar props)?

Off-topic: Using XSI is not necessary. You can use a hex editor to enable glow on those props if applicable.

the screens look really good! vemona looks a bit emty though...
you should definitelly make the pillars on shola glow. all you have to do is to open the msh in a hexeditor and change one number (the "00" to "02" on the fifth place after ATRB of the material using the texture that you want to glow). its explained in the topic aqt posted the link to.

Question on Vemona - would you mind having some unnatural stuff there? I've got about 4 sets of unreleased buildings of various kinds you could use (CIS base, primitive village, platform/stilt village, rock village). PM me if you want to discuss it.
Alternatively, I think the lighting might go well with mushrooms as large foliage?

You should add some clouds to Corellia. Also, you said their are gonna be the bigger vehicles added to this map. What are those vehicles? :?

Can't wait to play this! :cpu:

There were AT-ST in the first version I played, I hope TK will keep them.

In pic 3/4 on Vemona:

You should cover for the CP, such as a couple crates, or move the CP towards the big rocks, and add cover there. :wink:

The biggest ones on Corellia are AT-ST's. I don't recall announcing any bigger vehicles for Corellia. I think you've mixed that up with Vemona which will eventually have an AT-TE

Update:

I really liked some of the things in the Clone Wars assets released a few days ago. I thought some would fit pretty well in my maps

I think I will also add some to Vemona.
