If sandbags are left somewhere long enough you do get stuff growing on/in them .

I would do normaly but this stuff is going to be small in the final images. I am making an image of a big resuce hovercraft on a barge with lots of equipment on it. The hovercraft will be filling 90% of the image. This stuff really is background fluff.

Yeh, I dont like yellow either, they had all been a nice blue, but my client wants that yellow .

Small update, worked on the gen texture a bit and made a simple low poly fuel line.

A selection of stuff that is going in the background of some images I am making. They dont have to be super detailed because they wont be very big in the shots.

Looks nice ginger, only real crit is those sandbags look like they might fall over if they where hit by somthing. Maybe need another layer behind them for support.

I have done that a hundred times using every combination of file names and file types. It ignores the material I tell it to use and uses the standard hl2 named one. I dont know if this is just an issue with the sdk as bg2 is based on hl2dm, it may work for other source mods.

I am hoping valve will have fixed it in the big sdk update that is coming.

I have made my own custom grass sprites already. But I have put it on hold when I realised hammer ignores custom detail materials. It will only use the material with the same name as the hl2 one. This means if I use a custom one it will change everybody elses bg2 map that uses the sprites .

His left arm looks like its bent downards like his elbow is smashed. His eyes need some red around the edges, and a bit of shadow as well.

I share your dislike for the hl2 grass. It was ok to begin with but you just get so tired of seeing it.

This grass is straight from my garden .

Small update, I have started on the house/farm buildings at the edge of the map.

My only real crit is it feels a bit over enginered. Thats some hefty woodwork to just hold up a few tiles.

Try using a darker shade of the bone colour for the shadows. Instead of using burn tool.

You still have a problem with his eyes imo, maybe i'm wrong by seeing the screens but you should try this :[Blocked Image: http://kokosovar.free.fr/eyes.gif]

They already look like that:

I think the screenshots give the impression they are looking down, when they are not.

*Edit*

Textured and in hlmv, rigging needs sorting though.
