i've got a imagelibrary with over 8 GBs of personal highres images of diffenrent sets. tropical plants, european cities, nature images, materials, inspiration stuff ....
so i made some pictures of statues on an old graveyard. I used them as modelling and texturereference.
nothing big. there is no "trick".
Here is a work in progress picture. as you can see i am building a second tower which need more details. (stairs inside and a big bell).
on the left and right on the tops you can see, that these regions are just emtpy and need some more details such as a second floor. the _garden_ needs a more varieing nature. there is only grass, ivy, the same bush and those cypresses. i will work on it this weekend.

thank you. i am currently working on some parts of the churchs backyard. an other big tower, a garden and the roofs of the whole construct. Using Maya gives a lot of options to create an individual look. gotta get away from this blocky Hammer design to a more dynamic and varieing geometry. lighting of models is a problem that keeps me busy. i should write an article on this when i am done with this project.
What the hell. I just went to bed and when I woke up, I saw about 20 replies on my thread.
ReNo, I read your critics and I have the same opinion as you. A lot of newbies say that, I know, but it is still a work in progress. This overgrown setting is exactly my intention for the garden and the whole area. The problem will be to not loose the performance. I started a jungleproject, which I had to cancel because the Source engine was fucked up with all this Alpha and Alphatesting stuff.
To get this thing working, I will try to reduce all the plants to a few polyplanes and combine them in a big model.
Anyway, gotta go to work now.
Bluestrike, I use only custom content. There are only 2 models a friend of mine did for this map. All other content is the result of my work. This is why I am still working on this map. I started the project 3 months ago.
von*ferret, I made the arches this day. The textures are not always _painted_. I use a lot of my photos in my personal image database(8GB of highres images). SAMPLES CLICK
The arches are textured with photos I made this summer and modeled in maya and exported as a combined geometry(all arches in one model).
Hi everyone.
I am currently working on a Counter-Strike Source map called de_corse. Right now I was detailing some parts of the church in this level. Here are some screenshots.

This fullbright green tree is not final an will be dropped / replaced soon. The style of the hallway will be used for a garden in the back of the church. statues and more plants are planed.
Enjoy!
