    Yeah, I agree. But with a 10 faces tunnel like mine, if you add a cubic shape outside, it adds 4 faces.. 40%. I think that adding faces just to shorten the compilation time isn't a good idea, especially when VVIS manages to make "cylindrical" vis-leaves at last. I don't think that's a problem.Also, isn't the lightning way much crappier on func_details ?

    Anyway, it's a trick I often used on my past maps and I tend on not using it anymore. Don't know why, I think I'm giving to much hope in VVIS.

    you can either continue ignoring our comments or accept that there are people with something called experience.

    why should there be any additional polygons drawn? nodraw still creates leaves. creating non cubic leaves is ALWAYS a pain in the ass.

    uhm. your fps will be much lower with a complex leaf structure. so i'd still recommend the workflow steppenwolf did point up (which is indeed the best way to optimize).

    i would recommend to change the hakenkreuz with another symbol due to its meaning. for example any usage of it in germany is not tolerated. even in educational ways!

    and even if you want it to be a hakenkreuz you should do it the "afrika korps" way with the palm on it.

    rest is looking like an early shot. could be a cool setting a desert map. you should include extra player models with a desertskin too. wont look that good to see a soldier with thick jacket in a desert war

    good lighting and atmosphere but brushwork and texturing sucks. there are no windows on those buildings and all is very blocky. you should really work on this! with a lot of effort this map could be extraordinary!

    looks like checker texture. did you check your vmt for spelling mistakes and is there a blendtexture.vtf in the correct folder?

    my tutorial is 100% correct because i tested it while writing it.
