WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

It really needs some high contrast lighting -- everything is dark and undefined as a result of the dull lighting.

Here's a map I started working on a few days ago, it's supposed to be for L4D but until that's released I'm making a smaller version for CS:S. This part is an abandoned tourist cable car station in Mt Kumotori, I've no idea what else is up there but I'm just using photos from this site as a reference and putting it all together.

This is what I've got so far anyway, the platforms in the background are just there to snipe the bots from for now, there'll be a forest there eventually:

Yeah I agree, the crate there looks good, just needs the other texture on it. It fits much better I think. Either or, I need something there to help block the doorway behind it. Campers should have have any advantage

hydeph

The brushwork seems pretty good so far, but is it high enough to walk through?

lots of room to walk around

hydeph why are you mapping lets play a video game some time

Wrote a brief with a lot of description and a checklist to make sure I get things done.

Hopefully, I'll finish it

Only two hanging lights and a light_environment so far.

Try imagining using what I wrote:

Quote

The public entrance is very polished and pristine with marble pillars, mahogany trimmings and a curved staircase. There is a feeling of royalty here with the yellow lights illuminating the area from the pillars and hanging lights. By looking up, there is a giant glass roof with complex architect. To the left, there is a meeting room with a large table to sit 10 people and a giant plasma TV which provides a stream of vivid colours throughout the entire room. There are windows with blinds that let through a small amount of light. Back into the entrance there is a staircase which leads to two opposite balconies. Along the walls of theses, there are windows which let in the bright sunlight with defiant rays, pillars with wall lights which glimmer off the tiled marble floor, abstract art hanging off the walls, plants following an orderly pattern and some chairs for people to relax on.

I like the open concept area, it's very nice, especially the vertical beams you have. Will you be able to drop in from the skylights in the roof?

Hey! That's a good idea

Shame it's for an MP Mod and I didn't have that planned out in the first place.

I could have some ropes swaying round seeing as the terrorists spawn there.

looking nice psycho

Thanks Vivi
