    Yeah I've been putting off making blends and decals for a while now, going to have to do it sooner or later. I won't go crazy on the grime though, my reference material of neo gothic castles are generally pretty clean due to them often being no more than 100 years old, unlike early gothic that can be as old as 800 years.

    Details and textures are coming along fairly well. Added this honey-like color to the palette so as to more clearly differentiate the main A-path from the B-path for T's. Pillars and doorframe use temporary textures. I think this scene needs some black marble and mahogny furniture next. Doing everything I can to sell it as something WAY different than cbble. Skilled players should enjoy bunny-hopping from T-spawn to mid.

    Detailing the room that connects T-spawn with B-site and the secondary entrance to mid for T's.

    that room needs an armor and some paintings or a banner...

    Progress started to really kick off once I began working with Substance Designer a few weeks back. Churning out textures and models, beginning to see the light I guess.

    I agree. And maybe add some green (plants, tree, flowers) or w.e on the (edit) right upper screen. It looks really plain in my opinion.

    Anyway I love the new textures! Cant wait too see this one being finished.

    Yep, still painting with the large brush strokes to get composition, color and values right. Looking forward to getting down to the finer details soon(TM) :)

    The big brush in the center of the upper left screen has been unchanged since the greybox, for example. ?

    Working on finishing up the chapel area. Felt the previous art direction here was too similar to the rest of the map. Still not sure what objects to drop on the floor, as I don't want them to obstruct player movement. A bunch of pews is therefore out of the question, even though it would look sick visually.

    Would be nice if the stained glass in the second picture has some light coming through.

    And how about some stacked pews against the walls instead?

    Oh! That's a neat solution, the added height even makes it usable for cover as long as I throw some kind of dust-protecting fabric over the back of it. I've got some experimenting to do :)

    The stained glass is something I spent a lot of thought on a while back. It's not being directly hit by sunlight, but it gets a lot of reflective light from the building opposite of it. I added some colored directional light, but they're not very convincing, and with the new reddish texture they're being consumed so that they're hardly noticable. I don't have enough source experience to know what's technically possible here, so I'll gladly take tips!

    Is it visible from the other side as well? If so, have an illuminated texture on the inside and a normal one on the outside.

    On the inside, there's a light_spot and some func_dustmotes.

    A better example is the updated inferno. I suggest you take a look at how they did it :)

    Not much of an update unfortunately, but I decided to recreate just about every texture in substance. Ugh. I'm about as close to my vision as I'll get now though. Just a few more props to go.

    Great work, grapen! I would love to see more work done on the architecture, specifically I would break up all your large flat surfaces. Your interior work is good :)

    The second shot is sheer awesomeness.

    The first one has a lot of visual contrast between the wall and the ceiling. This ceiling feels over-bright compared to the walls. Maybe a darker texture or tweaking the ceiling lighting could add some depths and shadows to this ceiling. Slightly less saturated wall texture could also do the trick.

    Keep up the great work :)
