That kind of art is called op art (optical art). It isn't anything new but those are really cool.

Nice progress ferret! But if you are aiming at making it look real you should smooth out those edges, specially on the roofs. Besides that, the street texture looks a bit too blurry, it'd be neat if you make a high-res street texture with cracks and wet spots 
(also, some specular on the windows and on the pipes wouldn't hurt at all)
Keep it up m8!
Nice job schmung, it looks really clean and tight (my attempt at car modelling end up with a horrible and messy model 
)
Love the whale too koko, good to see you still working on your CS map
Looks interesting, I'll surely give it a try when it's out.
Strat is now the business man! Gratz my man!
Quote from von*ferretIf you expanded on the idea and some how was able to create a 3d skybox as though when you look out people are playing pacman, it would be an instant winner.
omfg best idea ever 
Can you have animated stuff in 3d skys ? If so it's completely possible.
haha this thing is great! Found my brother's hidden porno paradise folder
CS.NET FORUMS OMG! Haven't checked that like in years hah that forum was a joke. I remember Daan0 being a dick with me and now we are good friends
Hey second pic looks cool. Add some plantpots, pictures/paintings on the walls and ventilation ducts and it will look really nice
Quote from swartszMy first post here after watching these forums for a long time, so Hi everybody.And immediately i can use some input on a model/texture i made. it is a base for a statue. i keep thinking it is lacking something but can not find what it needs exactly.
So any comments or critique will be greatly appreciated.

Needs more shadows and highlights
Quote from Sa74nindeed its been sharpened. sadly it wasnt my decision to sharpen screenshots. i wouldnt have done that. the unedited ingame shot is detailled enough so theres no need to fake anything (on the other hand i dont think its faking really)thanks for the kind comments. some mappers might also have noticed that tje shots are of different versions. theres more fog in one than in the other one. changed the settings
edit: the floor texture isnt blurry at all. its 1024² pxl ownage by PHILIPK!
seriously.. its amazing ingame.
is it rescaled to 0.125 or something ?
Game devs do that all the time ;o
I like both of them
Yeah nice stuff but the floor looks a bit too blurry compared to the rest.
Yeah nice stuff for a first attempt. Here are some useful tricks:
* Highlight the edges when it's possible
* Bake some shadows to the textures (if you are going to use the model in a game)
* As ferret mentioned the desatured door looks out of place. Try to keep the same level of saturation on the entire texture.
Hope that helps
nah, source mapping > hl1 mapping. HL1 community was nicer tho.
Wow that trunk is really low poly
