Quote from SkybexI am using the same workfow I used from the CSS days and not something i would recommend. I hear from others that using wallworm is the way to go, but I have never spent the time to use it as I am used to the way I do things.
I have a lot of respect for you sticking with the old ways 
I just tried out wallworm, it isn't the most intuitive thing, but at least I could get a model in within a couple seconds versus minutes. Anyways, nice table.

What's -makedevshots ?
Takes snapshots of cameras you set up in your map. You get a pretty neat effect if you compile throughout map's development: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2754
oh wow that looks amazing, i thought everyone was just noclipping to get those lol.. is there a tutorial on how to use it?
Quote from scalesI have a lot of respect for you sticking with the old ways
Not so much the old ways, just probably not the best method to learn from when there are more intuitave tools out there now.

Not really a tutorial, but it explains how to do it on the wiki. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Point_devshot_camera
Worked some more on the upper hostage room, those curtains took a lot longer to make than I thought they would. Also had to move the devshot camera slightly as the curtains was obscuring a bit of it.
Some more new images in the albums. http://skybex.imgur.com/

No, but in all seriousness I really love your work so far.
I think that this style of mapping you are going for is what makes your maps distinct and defines you as a mapper. I'm sure if I saw a map of yours I'd be able to know that it was done by Skybex, just because of that.
Either way, again, keep up the good work.
Here's a question though,
are you going to make the assets available for everyone if the map gets to an operation or anything of that sorts? Just like you did with Bazaar, Workout and Chinatown? I think it was a really good move.
More people should do that honestly!
This looks awesome! Was going to make a cruise ship map but it appears that I was beaten 
Can't wait to try it out.

You can still make a cruise map, but It will just look like you are copying him xD
Will there be minigames? 
MINIIIIIGAAMMMESSSSS

Looking good!
Took a bit longer this time round as i was fighting with the casino. Its not an easy space to work with because I cant move the ceiling or floors, as well casinos are generally very open. But here is what i have been doing. The image is a bit brighter than how it is ingame

I haven't worked on blocking the players path yet so although it looks like you can get all around the casino, you cant.
And since someone mentioned minigames, I made a working pool table

The mesh is a modified l4d asset
Currently working on a Hockey table which will also be playable. Still working on the texture.

Guess I could write a slot machine in vscript that spits out guns if you want 
flipping the roulette tables like that looks really weird and gamey

or unpinned nades
awesome! would be nice to playtest this map!
Quote from Pampersflipping the roulette tables like that looks really weird and gamey
Agree'd. It's okay done once, but 2 right next to each other looks weird. I hesitate to say it looks almost lazy considering the rest of the map, and work put into it. Maybe put in a detailed wall their instead?

I know the challenge of not being change things much because of how interconnected things are when your map is multiple stories, the yacht map I'm making has the same constrictions. I think a railing or something in the middle of that staircase might work out nicely, at the moment the staircase seems unbelievably wide to me.
