Check out the screenshots. Tropics features the Hospital from Tiberian Dawn that I designed a while back. It also features underground tunnels with a light reflection technique I developed, plus a river in the center fed by a mountain spring and emerald-green translucent water. The bases themselves are very open to attack and the defenses alone will not prevent attacks.
I've been working on this map for around five or six months... Lost count by now. It's been through three total revisions, this being the last one. [ December 15, 2002, 02:48: Message edited by: aircraftkiller2001 ]

Wow, that map looks nice so far. But, what are those things in the GDI base, bridges? And if so, do they lead to a road that goes between the 2 bases, like on City?

They're like the overpasses in Canyon. I decided to combine Canyon and Islands in design concept for some of the map... Mainly the GDI base.

Light reflection, sounds interesting how exactly does it work and what effect does it produce?
BTW: do you have any intention of releasing that hospital?

They're just like the Canyon ramps, as I said I was combining some of the ideas from Canyon and Islands to create Tropics... Only minimal things, however.
About the Hospital... I may release it someday, but it's my little creation and I'm still working on it with each chance I have.

Well, anyways, I ran the VIS generation on it last night before I slept... Found the best way to do it, and I'll explain that some other time when I have enough time to do so.
It'll be done pretty soon, hopefully before Christmas.

It looks awesome, but I'm afraid it was the fine people at discreet who developed the effects.
Cheers on discovering it though.

Discreet had nothing to do with this. They don't know everything possible with their Max software and neither does anyone else... But then again, with your logic, lets call everything something Discreet came up with, after all, it's their software!

Riiaaght, So I suppose they just stumbled upon the features it currently has. I'm pretty sure they know what it can do.
