[WIP] DE_COPPER

Quote from jakuza

Hey,

The amount of custom content in this is really amazing. Serious props to you for getting it all done in time and making it look so good.

I was just wondering why the new screenshots look so washed-out compared to the earlier stuff. Color correction or did you change the materials?

Anyways, awesome work!

Thanks!

The latest washed out look comes from a colorcorrection that I applied last minute to brighten up everything a little bit. The previous versions were really dark in some places. Changing all the materials would have taken much longer. The whole lighting needs a big overhaul but that's a thing for a future update.

Greetings!

I find it impressive too.

If I was you I think I would removed the jungle area to replace it by a quarry / loading / ... area to have this unique thematic in your map.
The jungle thematic is a bit too much imo.

It reminds me a bit a map on 1.6 (I think it was de_struction) :).

Sorry for the late reply.

I was thinking about this a lot but couldn't really bring myself to erase the jungle thematic.

Instead I thinned it out a bit and added a rather large concrete structure next to the little loading area since I liked this idea of your's and I thought it would complement the surrounding.

This could also help with orientation since there is a kind oj quarry in the skybox behind bombsite B already. So another one would have not been that good I think.

Here are some concept sketches that I made way back.

I guess I was set on the jungle from the start

come to think of it: if there is one 1.6 map that influenced me it would propably be de_quarry.
