Hey guys, just thought I'd show you a snippet of a side project (still working on my mega-epic secret map): Billiards2.  I haven't really changed the table or background yet, although I plan on altering both of these.  The first thing was doing something about those balls!

Fishy is a great mapper... but he's also an amazing modeler.  You may be familiar with his cows in many of Milky's maps and his latest version of CTF Fishy.  I asked him to help me make new billiard balls and he delivered beyond my expectations.  Here are a few screenshots of his new billiard balls hot off the presses:

Just an overview of all the new billiard balls.  Red goes for 1-7 and Blue goes for 9-15.

No game of billiards would be complete with out the deadly 8-ball!

A comparison of the old billiard balls and the new ones.

A closer comparison.



As you can see, these new models look incredible.  Another added benefit is that the shadow casting is dynamic so they look more realistic.  Before, using brushes instead of props, the shadows would be "flashed" onto the balls on map load and would stay on certain faces.  Now they are always casted away from the light.

The only person who would ever complain about new, better lookin' balls in the mix is some sort of cockblockin' hater.

We don't have any of those here now do we?

I love billiards so much Lou, the better it looks the less I can play it though

Well, these new-fangled balls actually don't tax the system any more than the previous ones.

Also, a cue ball will be added in Billiards2, but not shown in the pictures.
