Description Some more work done for the Elements map, though much of it is specific for my use and added in SFM (there are something like 20 lights in this shot).  A lot of this will change, but wanted to get a feel for how the lighting could look before changing much else.  Baby steps.

So what do you think so far?  I know context may be missing, but hate to provide too much and give away the video.

Map is being made by me and not (yet) available for download: argodaemon.deviantart.com/gall…

What do I think? I think you're a gentleman and a scholar, and should absolutely feel good about yourself for making people squeal in expectation for the final product. I know I squealed internally.

she is the only one still living. These are monuments of her dead friends because she outlived them all! Shes now suffering in a dark room inside her friendship-shit-castle, alone and lonely, her friends are dead and spike is too grown up to keep her company.

i am sorry , but it seems so to me.
long time passed and twilight saw her friends getting older and older while her perfect alicorn body gained beauty. pony by pony her friends died away. her bodies , stuffed and displayed in that hall to remind of the once so famous elements of harmony ... no funeral ceremony, no grave , just this hall including the dead filled bodies of her friends.
she may be watched many ponies mourning infront of them ... they all may died with the time , but twilight will stay ... forever
after 2-3 generations of ponies the elements of harmony may be forgotten, other ponies will took place for her friends when the elements of harmony will be needed, nopony will remember her friends, their lifes, maybe some of their glorious doings, but maybe not even their names. Twilight will retire herself in sadness and lonelyness , she may be never moving out side again, time has no meaning for an imortal creature ... she will be waiting on her own death which will never come ... the citizen of equestria will slowly but surly forget about her.
other ponies with magical potenzial will be born and may take her place as the element of magic.

In many Year's Ponies will be sent here on their Judgement day, and the windows will light up, as the mane six discuss his punishment

Beautiful rendered, the dark clear is well treated.
Management impecable light and as I love. One senses a mysterious and ancient atmosphere in this composition, just as in certain temple of time in "Zelda twilight princess" .
Beautiful as always ^^ compo.

Don't listen to that jerk down below he's just being a troll with nothing better to do XD Lolz I would like to see him do something better in this map creator thingy...yup ._.
But anyway that's pretty awesome it would look kool if twilight was in the center of the circle with the stain glass above her :3 then you have to look up at it. It'll look like the floor is sparkling :3 Unless there are 2 circles then but her in the other one.

its because its just scene build at the moment argo is working on building the hall and stuff before he does any animating with it

Ah, looks really good, I wonder how he gets the lights to go through like that and cast shadows. I have to watch him on one of his streams.

PacificPenguin [2014-09-10 05:04:53 +0000 UTC]

oh wow. that's... looking really good. 

I feel like the windows could use a bevel/frame around them or something though. I think the space between them seems a little plain otherwise. 

I saw you had visible frames around other windows, so maybe it's just hidden at this angle.

argodaemon In reply to PacificPenguin [2014-09-10 05:12:41 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to test the lighting before cutting holes in the map. The windows are just flat to a wall currently. There will be a lot more detail added around them later, including a bevel type thing.

That being said, I like that Rainbow Dash is in the center. Everyone knows that the center is reserved for the best and most important individual.
