Workshop link :http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=831791642 Hi! I didn't touch hammer for almost a year, I was missing fooling arround with it so I decided to do some 3D stuff and experiment new things with displacements and texture blends. I was happy with what I was doing so I decided to make an hostage map. It's located somwhere in the desert in the US (Arizona / Monument Valley / New Mexico?) Inspired by some american tv shows and beautiful national parks. A group of meth traficants are holding hostages in their lab located in the middle of nowhere and of course the local police forces will raid them. My todays progression: Displacements + models The displacementss in hammer are a pain in the ass to work with but I really wanted to make a map almost entirely made with them... we'll see how it will go... I managed to make the texture blending work.
The "layout" is a little bit inspired by "cs_cruise" (map by Skybex). As I was stuck with "de_stars" for more than a year because I was stupid and narrow minded and started detailing too soon (even if I knew that it was a bad idea!), I wont make the mistake again. I want something clean, simple and a little bit minimalistic. I finished a layout I like! which is a big deal for me haha! The CTs will have a choice between 2 paths, they can run buy the top floor (canyon/ desert/ rocks... western wibe) or by the underground (old gold mine opening to a cliff side which will lead them to an underground meth lab near the T spawn)
The cliff side (you can see the entrance to the mine at the bottom right near the hostage)
For now it looks a bit like TF2, but I really want to try to paint the texture like the guys who did Newk and Infernew (30% cartoon, 60% realistic something like that)
INSPIRATION : Monnument Valley in Arizona, Breaking Bad, especially the part from the last season where there is a meth lab in the desert in a tank truck underground and where the woman (lydia?) who supplied methylamine is rescued by Mike and she comes out from a hatch ... I couldnt find screenshots, but I like the idea of a Tank Truck / meth lab.
And of course :
Yo Mister White !
If I never finish the map, I will definitely make a small aim_map with this RV ! some people will probably enjoy running arround! Please let me know what you think, is it a good idea? Is it complete crap?
Thank you! P.S.: It's my "fun personnal project", I'm currently working with Quoting and Violation on de_aviv but if someone here wants to make me some 3D player models of meths cooks in yellow jump suits with gas masks, I will definitely add them to the map!
