    Thought I might break out in to my own thread for my Bruges map. Everything is up in the air at the moment, I am using existing assets for everything at the moment. Once I am happy with the layout I will start adding in my own assets. I have started to work on some low poly models for background buildings:

    and just a couple of general shots:

    You might wanna use a different skybox, but that's just my personal opinion.

    Metal panels on roof don't fit that well either, Belgium isn't that cheap! ;P


    Oh! AND I ALMOST FORGOT!

    Make it look rainy. Add puddles and stuff.

    I often like to put water in my maps just to reflect the geometry and make the map look a little bit more impressive.


    Looks great nonetheless!

    The architecture is indeed very visualy pleasing, but the amount of props that are unrelated to the environment ruin it. It would be a good idea to find replacements for those industrial props.

    I would agree , at the moment I have just been grabbing CSGO props to speed things up. My plan is to replace the unrelated stuff with my own custom content.

    I mean, bruh.


    Use geometry, for example, instead of some random box out of nowhere you should place a fountain that would make more sense.

    I always had this photo in my references for Bruges. It's so goddamn pretty that I wanted to recreate it someday!

    Thought I'd share it. Maybe it can be of some use if you didn't see it yet.

    Beautiful map of a city that is both stunning and historic. Nice work. Although I do agree with the previous post(s) that mention the unrelated construction-looking props from Vertigo scattered here and there. Puddles/snow wouldn't be a bad idea either, again, as mentioned earlier. But yeah, just throw in a few canoes, shrubs and park benches in some parts to replace the construction stuff and you got yourself some class A mapping. Amazing job.

    you definitely need some vines in there, a lot of them . There's a lot of green in there. Also, don't make it rainy and depressing! Bruges looks best in spring with lots of color imo!
