Still fumbling with displacements and alpha blending, No reference pics btw I just map what I envision..

And those are definately not the textures I will be using I just used them instead of devtextures

AndI am not asian just made my name from an asian game I played

Thanks ahead of time

I would if I knew how.. I tried once before to make guns but that Didnt work out to well is prop modelling way easier.. because Id be willing to learn to make my own prop models if I foudn some nice tutorials..

I still have a long way to go I know but still

I already did tie them to func_details btw

*edit*

heres something I made a while back btw just to give you a feel of how I do things

Its not an exact replica of somalia just a name of what I was making.. but thank you very much for the ref pics.

Also where is the "U end" and the "resist" for entities? I briefly scanned over things and did not find anything with such name

Thanks for the help too.
