dm_cascade - wip

kick ass work, really feels seperate than what i saw in hl2.

inside is a bit plain, but i imagine you'll be adding stuff so i won't bother commenting on it.

stellar

I wouldn't be suprised if this won.

Superb work tarky

When can I playtest

well done

this is really worthy hl2!

some feedback;

the ground looks kinda boring, you could try to have some green grass spots to the terrain, that would mix good with the grass straws.

some trees looks oversized, I think they wouldnt grow so tall ontop of a cliff.

add turbines indoors (but I guess you already thought of that)

keep it up!

Looks mighty fine tark great progress from the latest shots I saw.

Looks good.

My favorite theme.

I always wanted to do one in CS, but some one else did it so....

Great work!

Needs an injection of colour! apart from that it's impressive m8

Wow, some nice improvments sir. keep it up.

you could change the lighting settings and sky to something that add's naturla colour, like a sunrise or sun set. HL2 textures are pritty colourless anyway so an enviroment lighting change is ya only real option.

Also if you do a sunrise or set, you can create a sexy shadow cast over the dam from all the terrain

Yeah, the outdoors, while detalied, is a bit too monochromatic and drab looking. Perhaps you could make it a bit graasier and work in some other colours. Myabe some rusted yellow/blue metal and some redish texture on some of those buildings.

Otherwise superb, nice to see people starting to get to grips with HL2 and putting out some nice looking maps.

Looks really cool. Hope it plays as good as it looks

I dont know anything about the engine, and i prolly wouldn´t see any errors in the texture and stuff.

But i think it looks good

Looks really better tarky, I'd make each floor with a different wall texture though, it looks a bit weird the way it is now.

I think you have one two many trees up on that little cliff

the new shadows are very nice~

Also make some of those barrels explosive so you can grab them down and blow people up you know how it is

sorry Ive been eating peanut butter

To get around your models lihting up wierd, use info_lighting entities placed in locations you want your models to be lit from, and set these as your prop's light origins.

Changes look good, though I kinda like the handrails. Can see how they might impede flow, so I guess it might be best that they are gone.

Outdoors looks much, much better now, though I stille feel it could do with a a grassy texture instead of that one you're using now. Might just be me though. Shaping up very nicely indeed. Makes me wish I could map for HL2.

Good progress....gj.

yes handrails suck i'm having to take mine out due to the fact that they stop EVERYTHING and wel it sucks
