Another batch. This thing is chugging so many brushes there's no way it'll be as big as my Honey map, but it should provide some good fun nonetheless.

Quote from 2d-chrisBut this is 2014 ...
The problem is that the engine self occludes things and portal based rendering really restrains how open a map can be.
Yup, but there are other options you know, other games, other engines ... it sounded like you'd prefer to add more details but you can't, but there's nothing stopping you from moving on and doing that 
The maps still have room for improvement in other areas though, brushwork detail and scale is not what makes a "prettier" map

**PURE AWESOMENESS**

This is starting to shape up, good job!
In the way of crit: I would try to add more detail to the areas so that there aren't so many "flat" brushes, try to add props to the wall panels, try to add blends to the displacements (even the floor surfaces inside the shacks, etc)
resumed work today
Arrived at work tomorrow, got notified of CS:GO update...
This bug was preventing me from releasing my func_vehicle version for CS:GO as it would crash the server if a player was still in control of a car on unusual round endings.. Now I have to work for 8 more hours until I can try this out. So happy / so anxious 
.
Made this map in response to someone saying that there was a lack of good arms race maps. Was a good test for detailing![Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/E9eqZ9E.jpg][Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/VKcZ64T.jpg] [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/KRX8Uq6.jpg][Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/BeCrd0D.jpg] [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/GWLUNzX.jpg] [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/XRPU9dB.jpg]
Check this out, Voxel level design work in Unity. This is my first time working in unity too.

With that said, I feel as though voxels may soon be edging out standard terrain and model development pipelines at this rate.
edit: This is for Subnautica
Didn't know you were allowed to show SN stuff! Looks like fun though.
Quote from PogoPDidn't know you were allowed to show SN stuff! Looks like fun though.
This thing is a huge change from what I am used to when working in the industry. I am actually encouraged to talk about the game and show it off. I will even be doing one of my videos on the design process along with talking about Voxel level design in general.
Normally, talking about stuff public like this would get me burned at the stake and black listed for life LOL
I had to keep asking for permission because I get so scared to do something like this!
That's awesome man, I'm glad you're enjoying it at UWE. I loved working with those guys, it was really great! The quality bar was so high!
So after developing their own in-house engine for NS2 how come they're using Unity for the new thing?
Unity is better suited for what we're doing.
I can also imagine up-keeping your own engine to be a lot of work. Programmers can focus on making the game awesome and not worry about performance.

Up keep is often the same with an engine in house or not. Every game needs new stuff and the new stuff always has a cost.
Spark was also very demanding so I guess Unity was a tradeoff for better performance.

This is going to be a map to say good bye to UT.
