1 for the parts where shadows actually hits. elsewhere 16;) I guess it's kind of overkill, but it does look nice

Hm, Hello guys

Started working on something some days ago, don't know if it will be anything but a scene, but here we go :

I'm aware of the lighting-problems behind that door, and the fact that it's pretty much empty inside.

20 £, wow you gotta be kidding me

20£ x 13 = 250 Norwegian Kroner (NOK)?

That is not much :S, or is it?

Hm, hessi, you're probably right. But this book contains more than tutorials, it also covers quite some theory, besides, not everyone is born with your skills :wink:

Nysuatro :

So you're saying it for the most covers drawing textures by uh.. "hand", or is it also a book with textures based on photo ref.?

After realizing my texturing skills sucks, I've come to think about buying a book on texturing. More specifically this one.

Anyone here that has read the book? Is it any good?

It's a Space-cadillac

Clicky

The texture will hopefully be done soon.

Render? uh-, Is this what you was thinking of?

EDIT: W00ps, I forgot to mention that it is supposed to be a prop for CS:S

Hello all.

I've finally started to learn the art of modeling, hurra! And I've come up with this airport signpost thingy, based on this picture.

But. I've got a problem. When I texture it, I want it to look as smooth and nice as it looks in my ref. photo, but it looks very un-natural when my crappy WIP texture is applied, and I know, my texture do REALLY suck, but what can I do to make the metal look natural, but smooth and nice?

Also, here's my UVmap untextured: clicky. Is this a good UVmap?

I would say you mean Narby, the creator of de_aztec :wink:

aaah- Of course

Looking great warby. I would consider changing the lighting of your level though, I think the level has some very intence colors at the moment.

Uh.. .I could be very wrong, but did you (warby) make an official CS map?

if so...

which one was that?

I guess this is pretty off-topic, but I'm trying to learn how to model with Maya, but I don't understand the UV-map thingy. I saw one of iwannamap.com tutorials on how to UVmap with XSI, but it did not help me much. Can anyone link me a tutorial on how to make an UVmap to maya?

Houston we have a problem. I compiled the vmt as following but when I preview the model some weird rendering errors occur:

http://insurgencymod.net/team/upload/Fi ... _error.jpg

vmt:

Code

VertexLitGeneric


{


 "$basetexture" "models\mino\avon_scaffolding_mino" 


"$translucent" "1"


	"$alpha" "1"


}

Display More

Should I put the alpha mapped green thing in a separate texture ?

I don't know if you are aware of it, but there has been reportet a LOT of rendering errors with Source SDK lately. It could be a bug making it look wierd, and if that's the case, it ain't your fault..

Really cool model anyways

I think this map is good to be your first!

Anyway, when people are mapping a de_ or cs_ map they (hopefully) follow a theme. F.x.: De_dust is a middleeast theme. And I know you did a aim_map, but still, try to practise themes because they are important when you're mapping something bigger.

Have you asked on the steampowered forums? They could probably help you out.

Wow! How do you make the lighting look so realistic?

ok, thanks for the help anyways. How did you manage to remove so much of the shadow CDXX?

Hello all!

I've taken some pictures of a stonewall I would want to use as a texture, but there is a problem: The picture has a shadow on it. Is there any way to remove that shadow?

JacK,

Don't give us an overveiw

Give us some screenshots that reprecents the level, not the routes.

Some guy on the snarkpit apparently heard word of it from Adrian Finol who is a programmer at Valve. I can't really confirm anything and I didn't notice anything about it in the current beta, but as I said, there are whispers

I bellive some VALVe employee said in an interview that the feature will be added.

EDIT: Never mind this post, Pericolos0 has already mentioned it

Sorry

TBQFH, i love steam. I never had a single problem with it. I know im probably the only one

I've never had any problem with steam either, most of these problems must be PEBCAK's..
