looks great steppenwolf, keep it coming.

where do you keep getting those nice reference pics? sxc.hu has lots of them but i cant find anything nice.

Steppenwolf looking nice. propably still missing some small props.

Some pics of some of my HL1 stuff from last year for the upcoming Hostile Intent 1.6 finally got released over at http://hiprmod.net, so I guess I can show a couple. A fair bit of old mapcorian stuff is used in these maps, though I think all you can see is some of PhilipK's textures in pic3

What Dark said, detail-textures FTW

Bit of a stretch - but it does look rather good!

i love the whole futuristic looking snow feel ^_^!

great stuff keep it coming!

holy crap, source just gave me a hart attack.. my .vmf was corrupt, BUT with good old notepad++ i could fix it.. now i have 3 back ups..

stupid VIS.. at 8 mins now. RAD at 6 mins. i got a perfomance isue at 1 part of a building (you can see the whole(most of the) map from there, so not much optimizing there..)

Hammer did that to my contest map yesterday too. Crashed while it was saving, so instantly I was worried, but on loading it back up and finding an empty map I was really stressing. "No worries", I thought, "Hammer has autosave these days", so I file->open and browse to the autosave directory to find...nothing. Now profanities were being shouted, so I browsed to the folder in windows and thank the heavens above, the files were there, they just has ".autosave" instead of ".vmf" as their file extension. FFS, that was terrifying.

Also remember that Hammer saves two files when you save, one is called .vmf, the other is .vmx or dxf or something crazy like that. If your vmf gets corrupted, just rename the vmx/dxf to vmf and you should be ok.

Of course, doing incremental saves never hurt anyone either.

^ I save mine every 5 minutes and save into a new file everyday.

EG;

map_April24th

map_April25th

Very helpful if you do a lot of work which you end up not liking which would take a while to remove.

I have a topic here, but thought that it would be more suitable to post here. I'm making urban textures for Quake 4, so I can build an environment I always trying but lacking the right textures for the theme. Some of the areas I'm working on:

Looks fabulous, can anything be done about the wall specularity? It is a little weird that they shine that much. Though in places it makes it feel 'wet' which is pretty nice.

Another day, another area:

ifO: Thanks for the comments. Gonna try to fix the spec.

Kingpin style ftw.

The details in the textures look very good. Not sure if its done by purpose or engine specific but they could use some color variation imo. Each texture looks very monochromatic or as if the diffuse channel would be missing.

I think the monochrome feel adds to the style, feels a bit film noir almost. Maybe could break it up with some coloured lighting (which I think was already suggested in the other thread).

I think the floor tiles in pic3 are a bit too clean and perfect compared to the rest of the place.

hey method, it's looking great. i was browsing another mapping site and there is this 'mini competition' where you must create a hallway, well, it seems one user has taken a liking to your map
