I changed the skylight for a more soft look. You are also right about the orginality and I honestly don´t know how to deal with it .

well finish this map because it doesnt look bad and then think of a new setting or maybe setting that hasnt been brought to the maximum of quality. maybe something that is more like phantasy environment (this crossplayer game has an awesome environment art. maybe you can hook on it). or make some maps for a mod team. usually new mods require completly new content. such as insurgency or dystopia or nase2.

if you want to stay with counter-strike you maybe want to remake some old beta maps (cs_tire, cs_siege) and bring the layouts to new environments. for example make cs_siege an arizona or amazona themed map. get your self some creativity

i made some different kind of leveldesign in february. today the game launched it is a neat flash based jump n run game where i had to create the leveldesign and level graphics + HUD

this project was a new experience for me that i really enjoyed, because 2d leveldesign is different in many ways + i REALLY love cartoony games so this job gave me the opportunity to check out how to create vector based graphics + cartoony assets.

the ambient color of your skylight is too blue/saturated. reduce the saturation like 70% make it a soft/decent blue. atm its much too strong

the rest looks pretty solid, but lacks of originality

i dont think so, but you could decompile it and then rescale in the qc file. i dont have the sources anyway so i would recommend you to properly recompile.

bell is still missing. maybe you want to rip the bell i made for de_mediterrano. i give you my permission!

Quote from BioPulse

Had this error with one lightmap being shared across too many hitting faces seems like it comes up with a wide variety of problems.Zombie@computer has got a brain the size of texas if you ask me, a few years ago he solved alot of my problems when vlatitude was still active (or well, when I was active on there... since I haven't looked on there for years)

But I think hessi, maybe your stairs had lightmap problems, since it's alot of faces and ususaly not alot of lightmaps, I ususaly find it better to make stairs in a modeling program if i can manage, since it allows you to be a tad more creative without such problems i think.

i played around with geometrie. even my model was a func_Detail it CSGed really strange. though modeling might be an alternative BUT there wont be any lightmaps + model is much more memory usage when releasing the file + extra content + changing world geometry results in reexporting the model (maybe)

real time strategy

/!\ doenerking filter detected /!\

rest looks cool. maybe a bit empty. colors are pretty "hip"

fast vrad compiling may result in such ugly shadows. otherwise post exact compiler command you used!

looking pretty cool though! i'd love to see this as a playable map will you post the uni project as soon as it is done?

Quote from Dradz

looks like an FW-190?...and Hessi that is Old Skool! looks great though, amazing your paints were not all solid.

....wonder how many mappers/modelers here were plastic modelers/diorama builders back in the day -- ahhh, the smell of testors glue!

..and Hessi, no comments on my dod_Rouen post? was hoping you would rip it apart, but must have not been worth the effort?

i dont want to start fucking with you but the screenshots were pretty early to give serious critic. either a map layout (a bsp/overview) would be nice, but those screenshots were just too empty. i am sure with some more effort this could turn out good.

alba, this castle like tower is bugging me. somehow it is looking really noobish to me. you just took 1 texture and built up a complete building -> no details -> no trims -> no unique places. maybe you should add either some overlays and add variation to the tower or you start with a neat texture that has a cool gradient. maybe i will make you a paintover

edit:

image speeks for itself

maybe because i included the %sourcesdk%/bin folder to the windows PATH variable too

defrag as you can see form my screenshot, the batches are in the bin folder so i dont need any env variables

batchfiles? for compiling? what are you talking of?

i made some batches to make the compile tools avaible in the context menu. http://www.thomashess.net/haxx0r_batches.jpg

i saw this tank at polycount after i posted here. i feel ashamed

actually i am not so pro in this modelling so this small piece will only be used as a reference for some maya model then (i think)

finished. now porting this to maya / dod (when i got the time)

usually we call that unfinished. i think this is a wip forum and i still didnt paint everything + have to wait until the color is dry.
