None the less, I like the clean Brushwork you made with this map. Now you should add some small details in your rooms with decal/overlay and small static models. Keep it up !

Apart from emptines mentioned above, only thing that doesnt look too good is the concrete wall in picture 5. Apart from that, nice work, keep it up.

Sweet.....looks promising.

needs more detail tough.

Looks good. As the other guys pointed out with the detail comments, things i can think of would be adding some window boxes to the houses, Some cars parked up in the road would add cover. Some variation to the textures on the houses, there's a lot of that red brick everywhere you look at the moment. Some more street furniture, adding a whole in the ground somewhere with some roadworks going on would work to break the street up a bit.

Pretty good on imitating the feel, but definitely needs a lot more detail and more variation on the apartments.

Looks good and hdr will make it look incredible but i dunno if the layout will work with big streets, have you got any screen of the layout?

the way you carved the windows into the building is totally going to kill the fps. make them modelled like dod:s and in clusters, that's gonna give you some slack to throw in even more details in other parts of the map. and it's going to look better.

beisdes that, i think it needs some new textures.

Looks to me like you need a bit of weathering or something on the corners of the buildings to define it a bit more. everything looks a bit flat at the moment. experiment with the lighting too. try a different time of day etc.

Edit: also try getting in some drainpipes, railings, window details. It looks like you could benifit from custom models.

Heres a tip for you

In console:

sv_cheats 1

cl_drawhud 0

r_drawviewmodel 0

It will get you rid of the huds and your weapon to take the screenshots.

And I like the style, it looks clean and your brushwork is good, good job!

Make small displacements over the patches of grass along the streets, and make them very lightly rounded on the edges. The less uniform flat surfaces, the better. Plus, you can add dirt patches and stuff like that too them.

I'll second the suggestion to add some cars or other objects in the streets. Perhaps a dumpster, a building that was burnt out and is barricaded up, mail boxes, a moving truck, a crashed car? Try to make the individual buildings have something individual about them, at least some of them.

I would recommend moving the time the map is set to maybe late sunset or early sunrise, and add porch and street lights to make the buildings look more visually interesting, too.

Looks great but the cars need shadows. It looks like they re hoovering above the asphalt.

also, the environmental light doesn't really fit the sky. i just noticed now that it seems like one of those 'fake light days' in real life (you've probably had them too, where the cast lighting does not fit the cloudy sky).

You need some decals for the road markings, some stop signs and traffic lights. (No idea why am on a highway tip...)

Other than that it's just detail you need adding to the scene. Dirt, light & shadow, the inevitable graffiti here and there. sIgns, sign posts, trash cans, railings, porch lights, house nameplates, all that kinda junk.

Looking promising mate keep up the work

Coming along really nicely sk3tch. In a couple of weeks I should get around to making those models I promised ages ago.

The road corner needs to bend. There's no such roar that has a square corner. Impossible to get around without bumping something
