warby presents: de_wanda 100% custom map for cs-source

vue le exposé sauvage ? (view the wild exposed ?)

yeah as teddy said, the map is sure damn great but those HDR settings tend to ruin it

The HDR is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to strong, I can barley see any colors at all, it's just white\yellow.

haha no, sauvage means wild, like madmax or in the famous steppenwolf song : boooorn to be wiiiild

if you want to say "go see the fantastic exhibition" you'll say : "Venez admirer la fantastique exposition"

or even better "L'extraordinnaire exposition, ce soir ouverte au public"

Looks sweet man, but as the others mentioned the HDR ruins it. Sort it aut!

man that wine cellar is so awesome. im not really a big fan of the outside mood and dislike these style mixes on all the different buildings and textures but that wine cellar is so awesome. did i mention that that wine cellar.... ?

these huge wodden barrels and stuff

its one style throughout the wine cellar scene - lovely \o/

i'd love to see the texture map of this, cause it looks so crisp and sharp

if i'd be playin that mod, i'd hide in the cellar all day. really cool atmosphere you created there

sensational but the hdr makes it look terrible

Well at least I really think the HDR gives the wine cellar the right touch (but it still has overexposed spots that need fixing).

So warby - your map is one of the best ones I have ever seen in amateur history but there are some issues that I think need to be addressed and these are:

- HDR - either subtle or nothing at all.

- 3D skybox houses - do not look realistic model or texture wise. This is a pretty bad thing as they are meant to work as a nice framing touch for the map. Although I think it is a very easy problem to fix as you have already placed them in a nice manner. Just resculpt them and you're all set.

- Volumetric light in the Colossus vs Tripod scene - remove it. It ruins the stylish and artistic touch of the scene.

If you fix these things I'm very sure I will never see anything as good ever again.

Looks better and better, but the repetetive houses in the background are annoying. I know that won't get close to them, but still they could need to be spiced up a bit.

this is so fucking hot! warby i really dig this map. i think you did a great job and showed people how you can get supreme looking maps with the source engine without using normalmaps on every model. this map will blast the community like no map did before!!

I think the houses are too close to each other and look rather weird. Maybe some rocks and more spacing between them would do it.

new pics= SWEET!!!!!

Quote from TeddyBear

Warby, listen: your map is great but the HDR totally ruins everything.

Oh, I love the cellar!

The HDR in the cellar looks nice (except the parts that have gone really, really bright). Source's HDR solution just sucks, so that's not your fault. I think the houses in the background stand out a bit too much as being a different colour with little variation (and with no apparant streets connecting them, visible in the 7th shot). The part where the "walkable" geometry stops and the skybox starts is too clear in my opinion (once again, 7th). The glow in the background (on the horizon) also stops abruptly leaving a tall line (3rd and 7th).

HDR overkill, most definitely.

Tone that down a bit and you are good to go. (hoping that you are going for a cartoony, unrealistic look?)

Fantastic work, just tone down the HDR a bit as it's *slightly* overkill.

I vote for spotlight!

Wow, great stuff! Can't wait to DL.

Yay! Been looking forward to this. I would like to participate in the testing. Could you PM me the link please.
