I have finally released some screenshots of my Insurgency map, ins_abdallah. I have been working on this one roughly for 8 months or so (this is however the 3rd version of this map). Most of the content you see in these screenshots are made by myself, except of course for the vehicles and foliage models (which would require too much time and wouldn't be worthy the effort), detail sprites (that were made by steppenwolf I believe) and some minor textures (like trims, some signs etc) that will be replaced soon. I want to make this map as much self made as I can so I have a well polished and strong portfolio. Anyways enough talking, enjoy the screens!

Nice colors, add some orange/yellow tones here and there, they always look good next to blue

Jeff who

Great use of the engine, congrats!

Looks very web 2.0'ish (which is a good thing)

Looks good but the mirrored building on the sides won't look that good ingame ;o (too obvious)

I like it a lot but yeah, lighting could be improved

Lighting looks very boring and monochromatic at the moment. Despite that it looks like a good start, nice scale.

I actually think it looks brilliant

Looks great, too bad I don't have Dod:Source

urgh I just noticed this issue in Bioshock, thanks for the tutorial anyways

Awesome

I don't get this steamworks shit either. Valve would never be as successful without Counter-Strike and the mod community, who brought exposure to an already outdated engine at the time. And now they give minimum to no support at all to the community... maybe some marketing "genius" thought they don't need to rely on their community anymore, which is of course a big mistake.

Distributing 3rd party mods on steam would bring the community together and reward the hard work we have put into these mods. But that also gets into legal problems, as they would indirectly make money with games that should be free (it would significantly increase half-life's sale in my opinion).

Wel sort off, I remodeled it because that was easyer to make the lods & collision and not waste spine's work skinning it, there are some differences but yeah I used yours as a reference Actaully I might have used those connection thingy's from yours (with lack of a better word) so I should remove it

Nah don't worry man

Nice stuff, lots of solid work, hope you get that job bro! I agree with the above guys that the site lacks a proper design, maybe you should read about CSS-only sites, they tend to look pretty clean and straightforward, which is exactly what you need for your portfolio. Also, watch out for typos, they are everywhere

ps: I modeled that minecart afaik lmao

Outstanding!

wow that's quite fast Looks good for such a short time frame.

Bunch of photos I took in Sao Paulo (Brazil's biggest city). They aren't no big deal to be honest... I wouldn't dare to walk on the streets carrying my shitty camera
