@3Dnj: Your map looks incredible so far, how do you get such nice shadows on props like that?

Psy: I really like the layout so far but, like I said to you earlier, crates are super cliche!

@Generalvivi: I dig your interior architecture a LOT. But your lighting is a little dull and needs some contrast increases.

So here is the TF2 map I started about a month prior to black mesa's release and havent touched it since our release. Ive been busy with bms but I hope to get a good tf2 layout as well. Its a 3 cp attack/defend with an emphasis on vertical gameplay that involves a big uphill battle for blue to control the massive final laser

Outside blue spawn. That building in the background is the final point. I wanted it visible from the very beginning as a sort of "this is where you are going" kind of thing.

And here is a overview shot that shows why this layout was so incredibly difficult to create:

Just after A, the map folds under the path to C from B and goes directly to B. Logistically, it was a nightmare.

Dude that looks awesome, you're really good with angles. Can't wait to see more.

Impressive Jp, loving the creativity of the spaces

@3Dnj: Your map looks incredible so far, how do you get such nice shadows on props like that?

CSGO has a new version of Source with vastly improved shadows that cast along everything, including viewmodels and props, which looks sexy as fudge.

Your TF2 map has some awesome geometry! My only concern right now is that it's perhaps a bit too open. It'll be interesting to see how you'll artpass that crazy geometry.

@3Dnj: I'm digging it but the lighting seems a little washed out, no? Perhaps a little more colour to the env lighting would do the trick.

Buddy · October 5, 2012 at 5:12 PM

Environment lighting is dynamic basiclly and combined with lightmaps.

In my blitzed stupor last night I came up with something I thought you guys would like:

Once you capture A...

...blue's spawn moves up and you spawn directly above the point you just captured

That looks awesome JeanPaul, really like your structure and brushwork. Is TF2 still free-to-play? D:

Btw: Hi!

KungFuSquirrel · October 5, 2012 at 10:18 PM

That window is a thing of beauty. Love it.

selmitto · October 5, 2012 at 11:38 PM

I like a lot the epic feel of this level. And like others said, good job with the brushwork and angled surfaces!

JeanPaul · October 5, 2012 at 11:57 PM

Okay everyone, here is Alpha 1 of the map:

Heya, I thought I'd post something for a while.

Here's a map I've been working on and off for almost a year now for a Red orchestra 2 mod, Karelian front. I started making this map with pretty much zero knowledge of unreal since I have only worked on source before. Still lots of work to be done to get more clutter to the ground, trees, bushes, flora..
