Fallout 4 nexus has been a godsend for keeping me motivated with positive feedback

Been working a lot more on Scum of the Commonwealth for Fallout 4, got 12 levels total now, taken me a long time to get them done, mainly because I'm wrapping up this year's work, but here are some screenshots. (they're large images)

Early Screenshot of 'The Beacon' which is a new level to my 'Scum of the Commonwealth pack' for Fallout 4, this is a gunner occupied naval vessel with a radio beacon attached. You will find this shipwrecked nearby the atom cat's garage when it launches in the coming week.

Once you get to grips with the different camera controls and some tools, it is not too bad.

pro

• Can see the real navmesh in editor
• can see lighting, fog and skybox rendered pretty well in editor
• quite easy to get new content added into the editor for unique levels
• no compile process for playtesting
• Building environments is quite easy thanks to how rooms are built, take assets of walls with floors and ceilings, and for finer tweeking, you can use free-walls and free-floors to make more unique layouts, its what I tend to use for my locations.

con

• Relies solely on pre-built models for everything instead of brushes, so unique buildings or items need to be custom build in 3d modelling software
• can be a massive resource hog if working in the wasteland/wilderness cells
• Scripting is not very well organised, and creating effective scripting can be a bitch.
• Initial loading time is arse, you're loading every asset and location so it can be quickly accessed later. (may be my pc being shit)
• prone to freezing when adding items or using the wasteland/wilderness (may be my pc being shit)

That being said, I still got a lot to learn personally.

Recent set of screenshots for the Beacon, as part of the Scum of the Commonwealth level pack on Fallout 4, Update is live on sunday!

does anyone know how to fix this lighting bug for some diagonal surfaces? tried rebuilding it and messing with the alignment orientation but no success.[Blocked Image: https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8vaS5pbWd1ci5jb20vMkNDa01vVS5qcGcifQ.9gqAWZHpRg6wP6n56zATcy7JH2I.jpg]

You tried moving the light source slightly?

Did a first pass of a couple of callouts. "Swimming pool" and "shed". Lighting is still pretty work in progress, will get to improving it nearer completion.

Slowly whittling away..

Need to figure a transition from roof to wall that is a little more rooftop without looking cheesy..

Need to work on lighting...and maybe more plants, at the moment this is a lame rooftop garden.

Yesterday after countless hours of looking for reference images for a satellite center, I finally found some 3D image views of an existing satellite center. My motivation went from sad-no-inspiration to can't wait to work on my map every day.

Creating easy models in Blender also is going a lot better. And exporting them to Source is getting easier every day. Even bought a DSLR to take my own textures, so I'm really committed to get this map done. Now off to vacation and can't wait to get back to continue working on it for the next playtest!

Did you do all of that by yourself? It looks great.

What sort of brush did you use for all the black texts?

Taking a break from Fallout 4 to mess about with source again, this is about as far as I have gotten

Im working on a dm / demolition Map. Walls are still pretty flat and boring - but its getting better!

Created my own using a simple long rectangle, making sure to rotate the brush for each new tag, also changing size and colour. I'll include the brush below. Photoshop brush downloadhttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzSnx…VmNUak9xaDNJcDg
