Can't you hotlink the images on the forum instead, I don't want to browse ModDB, it's too slow and awkward

It looks nice though

I want more screenshots, get to it

Not sure if you've looked into this, Blendmodulatetexture, I think you could get a lot better blending between the rock and sand.

Also the sand is too bland, get some variation in there (extra blend material + overlay textures)

Also I think your shadows are too contrasty, bring the ambient up, and also increase the sun strength. Uncharted 3 desert is amazing

Nice stuff!

Oh? They support PS3 pads too?

Gave it a quick try here at work, the interface is perfect! Really nice and sleek.

Yeah you can use a program called MotioninJoy to set it up to work with your PS3 controller. I lost my xbox-pad in a move and tried it out instead, works great, though I've only used it with the usb-cable attached. Tutorial on how to set it up

Tried it out for a min, super sleek interface, and so fast to boot/navigate

Now I need to find a USB-bluetooth adapter to be able to use the wireless ps3-controller with the pc. This is awesome.

It's getting hot in here

lol that makes de_dust look a lot less readable imo.

Noob, that's not de_dust

Yes give us something like the brightskin from quake plz.

I've played a few rounds, I think I'll enjoy this for some time. I'm so completely bad at it though

OMG that's awesome.

You should upload all your images of places like that somewhere and post a link here

Well it's a lot easier to give insight on more detailed questions

Do's

Save often.

Create incremental saves often as sometimes level files gets fucked up

Learn the displacement tool properly, it can be used for a lot of stuff that is not boring hills that looks like HL1 tri-soup terrain

Learn the hotkeys : https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wik ... _Reference

Do not create a big hollow box because 'you will think of optimization later on' - build the skeleton properly from the start.

Dont's

Do not ragequit when trying to use the model browser, keep at it.

For the lazy who don't care about text

Awesome trailer
