[CS:GO][WIP] Trailerpark

    Posted a few of these in the WIP section, but did a bit more since. Managed to first pass the 3d skybox, a trailer interior, and another path. The map is still flat, and has a lot of "lines", but I will get to those later. The mesh trees are also pretty dark, so I will have to modify those at some point. I also posted another reference of things I will try and add. The hot air balloons will definitely be in since there area lot of air balloon shows in Lake Tahoe, plus they will make some good navigational markers.

    Remember the early screens!

    Like has been mentioned, the underground doesn't seem to fit. Reminds me quite much of the Italian coastal map you made. Same textures/just a placeholder?

    Anyway for the rest is really cool, a novel theme! I can imagine the hurdles of what tends to be a flat map, it's something that prevented me to work on a map I've been thinking of, just can't see a way to create height variation

    Thank for comments guys!

    Sewers - yeah they are a bit out of place! Too Italian I think and not grungy enough. Main thing was to get the shape in, and basic idea. Will fix them later on once map has been given a first pass.

    RA7 - nah not breakable trailers, but I think some will have to look a bit broken so that there is some variety. Otherwise, they will look too similar. Also, thanks for reference image and Lanmaniax pimp (great to see it back!).

    blackdog - yeah the flatness and the fact that trailers are low has limited what can be done. I did find some raised trailer references, but they looked kind of ridiculous in the map (see below). In the end, I have to go with things like steps - (purple trailer and the swimming pool). In the end, the map has similar heights to maps like de_st_marc and dod_flash for example.

    Initially I was put off by the lack of height, so blocked out another map - de_hydro or something similar based in a dam, but made sure it had loads of height variation. However, I returned to the trailer map because I prefer the theme.

    Can't you make use of litle elivated rocks for some height difference instead of a flat grass field? You could make nice use of ramps as pathways trough the rocky parts. idk how it will fit ur map tho..

    Pretty positive those houses on stilts are for areas that suffer from a lot of floods? If there were height difference they could probably make sense. I don't know enough about Nevada or the surrounding states to say.

    I like the mountains. Flat texture or mesh?

    Think you've taken the right choice @OrnateBaboon:)

    Industrial theme has been done over so many times. It's good to see something fresh.

    As per height variation yeah those raised trailers look a bit silly… and wouldn't help if they have those gaps underneath.

    Like Roald said, I wonder if you can manager to put some convincing natural elevation, rocks, a small hill…

    Anyway, is looking good. Hope it plays as well :)

    Yep ! Reminds me the "Pawnee Trailer Park" in Watch Dogs. [Blocked Image: http://orcz.com/images/6/68/WatchDogsPawneeTrailerPark.jpg]

    I really dig the soft colors, lighting and sand/dune combo in this screenshot :) btw if you need any dune, beach or sea photos for textures or reference let me know I live 10m~ from the beach/dunes so it wouldn't be a big problem for me to go there and make some photos

    Yep, the colors reminds me a lot of this place in Life is Strange :

    Maybe you could get some ideas from it, like the idea of using purple as a tint sometimes, it looks great i think !

    Great job @OrnateBaboon !!

    Thanks for feedback!

    catfood - with regards to the lighting and colours, for the time being I tried to copy games that have a lot of colour in one area. Example image below. I think if too saturated, things might get a bit crazy!

    leplubodeslapin - thanks for those images. I played Life Is Strange as well and took images, but was on such low settings, so things looked a bit crap. Will definitely be using them for ideas - got the back of the beach ready to art in last image. I think maybe rocks, trees and foliage instead of whales! The watchtower would also be good to add. Will see what can be done with lighting when the map is more complete. What might look good in one area, might look too saturated in another.

    Worked more on CT spawn - did a build with trees as well, but they are so dark, I think the only solution to fixing them so they are not almost black is to lighten the texture a lot, and recompile. Turning off shadows etc makes the trees look radioactive.

    very noice! I would change it so that the ground and house don't have the exact same color, and break up the road outline somewhat, make it stick out less

    Looks really nice, very promising! Lighting/architecture/skybox look excellent already. :)

    Yeah, trees are too dark. Also take care that you modify the distances of the trees (maybe build some clusters), vary the height and perhaps angulate them a little (2-3 degrees), so that it doesn't look too artificial.
