During my semester break (hence the name surf_semesterbreak) I decided to start yet another map, but this time I told myself to finish it.

It's supposed to be t2 - easy t3, would appreciate some testers & feedback.

EDIT: One curved ramp has awful lighting and I don't know how to fix it, if someone could help out that'd be great.

Map suffers the same mistake as polygon and antimatter - flat textures causing poor depth perception. It's difficult to surf, I didn't get very far in before I had enough.

I knew someone would mention that, besides the last two ramps (mostly 2nd last) I don't see any significant lack of depth perception, at least not to a point where it's more than a minor inconvenience that can be solved by surfing it a few times. I tried my best to support this with shades and different colors, so in my opinion it should be okay like this.

Thank you for your feedback regardless :)

I agree with Crayz, the flat textures are pretty bad, for the reasons stated above. Not as bad as on polygon maybe, but still bad.

Would a slight pattern on the texture help? If so I'd like to single it out to either ramps or walls to keep a general clean look, which one would help depth perception more?

Aight here's an alternative version with a slight pattern on ramps, opinions on that? https://ufile.io/e09fa

It's better, some ramp spines have the same texture issue.

From this angle the spine looks flat, but it's actually not. It's pretty hard to surf this properly

Aight I switched out textures for ramps so it should be good now http://puu.sh/uUXWc/b68f9346dc.jpg http://puu.sh/uUY0X/5a106965f4.jpg
