Probably going for ZPH on this one.

A fortified encampment is besieged by the undead within its own walls.

use this method to get the skybox blended with the fog

Been working lately improving my skills on displacments and the outcome is this:







I might re-make the ground of zpo_zombodesert, similar to the pictures I posted.
improvments? (I know theres still few decals missing on the mountains,I might add a road above it,pillars and stuff)

[vip08]

been working abit more on the envirnoment, the fog might be abit too thick, its density is .8

I prefer this one, desert is too common for me , but adding folliage will be a problem.

Good to see some STALKER models being put to use ;D not bad, but I'd suggest more foliage and greater variations in textures, so stick in some shrubs, some rocks, and use a texture blended with, say, a rock texture or perhaps a different shade of grass or mud. Just add variation in general.
