Already posted a picture in the WIP thread. Here is a little more of my current project:

Map size is medium, layout simple but tricky, with open areas as well as some close/medium combat. There are two main T-routes, which branch off to the "middle" at the first choke points. So gameplay should be fast and dynamic, map control is pretty important.

Originally wanted the map to be some kind of remake of my very first big CS map I made in 2001 (that's what it looked like :D: pic1, pic2), but only kept some basic ideas and the setting...

Took some inspiration from this place in Austria:

As already said, the map is mostly done. Currently doing the boring part (such as clipping, tweaking fade ranges, bot nav, replacing some assets that I have borrowed, ...)

Hope to get it ready for some public playtesting soon...

Something typical for this map:

Adjusted the geometry of Valve's model to fit my needs better and reskinned it (and removed ~3k unneeded triangles for better fps)

And how it looks like in the map:

Thanks!

The map itself is pretty much done, I think.

But unfortunately I'm still using some borrowed props from @Yanzl (lamp and cypress bush prop) and @Skybex (display dummies + clothes), so I can't publish it yet.

I will probably not be able to build something similar in time, because my Blender skills are still incredibly poor.

So this will take some time...

(Maybe I will just remove these props. I don't know...)

Thanks man!

Well, then I will probably upload it in the next days (maybe even tomorrow if I can manage to pack up all files until then) so people can already test it and I can do my very best to replace some assets meanwhile.
