Great job on recreating the cs_italy ambience... 
Can't wait to play...

That's great, now I really can't wait

Looks good, you should dim the light in the cellar or increase the falloff range though, there are currently a total lack of shadows which is not what I usually connect with a cellar.
-
That is looking very very good! I agree with Zacker on the lighting in the cellar, looks very bland atm
-
AWESOME. but is there any chance you will do a dod:s compile (with other models of course)?
-
Agreed on most things. Looks great, I'd love to see it in DOD and that cellar is a bit too bright and clean.
-
yeah this is really pretty =) would be even prettyier if it was all custom content !!!!
:wink:winecellar should be darker / more contrasty

Looking very good. Heres a few crits for you:

Green arrow : Chimneys need some trim around them. They don't look like they are going through the red tiles on the roof, just looks like its sitting on there. Looks hl1... Also try displacement mapping the roofs a little bit, look at hessi's de_corse.
Blue circle : I'd make these lights a touch yellowish, they look kinda odd as bright white.
Purple arrow : Just curious about this, looks interesting.. Can we get a close up?

Yellow arrow : Ivy just ends abruptly. It doesn't look natural, usually it'll get shorter and shorter as you get to the end. I'd also lay some ivy on the roof above the hanging part, it doesn't just grow out of the edge of the roof, its gotta come from somewhere
Green arrow : Probably just an odd angle, this looks like a raised walkway to the door? But it looks like it needs some trim on the edges, a little raised concrete portion or something. Just to break it up. Then again it probably looks fine in game, just a bad angle on the screenshot.
Blue arrow : Can't tell what this is, too HDR'd.. It looks like a clump of ivy in the middle of nowhere. Hanging plant?

Again, yellow up the lights a bit, especially in a cellar where its supposed to be dingy. I darkened, contrasted, and tweaked the hue a bit in photoshop.
Red arrow : Can't tell, but this kinda looks like the floor grate is right flush with the floor. I'd sink it down in, or make a slightly raised metal rim around it.

e-freak and Schmung - I think that making the map DOD compatable would be more trouble than its worth. It would require lots of rebuilding to make it play properly. I will wait until this version is finished, and perhaps make something out of it, but I think that would be a bit cheap. I have a very early DOD map in the works, and if I were to finish a DOD map, I'd prefer to work on that.
Warby - Yeah definitely. 100% custom content would be great. I started making some textures with the intention of using them on this, but I think I would rather save that for the next project. Having custom textures and then standard models won't look right. My modeling skills are lame, so for whatever I make next, I will attempt to 100% custom it.
twiz - Superb! Great criticism! Will take it on board. Bottom of the chimney can't be seen from the playable areas though, so that shouldn't be a problem. Will definitely displace all of the roofs in the map. Just need to be certain that I am happy with them first. The displacement for the close up is a bit stretched at the moment
Needs a going over. I need to add a grass blend to the texture above it to make things look more beleivable.Seems as though the wine cellar needs a good reworking. Does look too bright, and needs more decay. Will lower the metal grate on it, and probably add some sort of handles to it so that it looks as though it can be opened. Those clumps of ivy stuck on the wall will go. They just look too flat. The lights might get turned off depending on what I do with the light environment. They do look quite white. Never noticed that before. Appreciate the crits

That looks fucking amazing. I love the HDR tone.

love the wine cellars. Looks great.

Nice
Do you think dustmotes would work in the cellers to make them more interesting?
-
I'd say leave them as they are, I think that too much could ruin it. Or if you are going to increase it, only do it slightly.
-
Browsing through all the pages, this is looking very nice indeed.
Trying my best to comment without saying whats been said again so here it goes:
The ambient light outside looks real "hot", as suggested from the HDR, but also direct, yet some parts have 0 shadows or arent very dark, due to the overall brightness outside.
My suggestion either make the shadows darker or lower the HDR.
