de_island (remake)

As the title says , i am making a visual remake (getting rid of the cbble theme), and a little bit of gampley readjustments, of one of my older maps, de_island , that i made in 2014 for the gamebanana maping contest. Here its a link to it's page on gamebana.

I started the remake more than a year ago, but i made frequent pauses due to, you know, real life. I'm going to finish it some day, no deadline, but until then i'm creating this topic to be more like a development log.

My intention is to use HR textures, as much as possible the custom kind, and custom models, as much as possible made by me. Here are some screenshots to ilustrate the progress. Any constructive feedback is welcomed.

The map it's progressing, i made some custom fake door models, also some new textures

The source of inspiration for the interiors

However in the map i wanted a bit more dustier, a less cleaner look

I had improved the 3D skybox, using a texture with custom sprites

I never thought of that, but on a second look you are right ?. It fits somehow the new theme of the map which is inspired from Romanian late medieval palaces like Mogoșoaia.

The final version has arrived. You may check it out here: STEAMWORKSHOP

There is always something to do, to add, to change, but i decided to stop here with this map, at least for a while. (credits: water material by @Yanzl)

The custom models are made by me using 3dsmax and substance painter. The custom materials are made mostly with scanned textures from textures.com

I had changed the map´s theme to a winter one.
