That might be one stupid nooby question: 
I never worked with zbrush but I know that's possible
to polypaint. but before i invest in such program - is it
possible to export the painted uv to a targa-file?
more precise: modeling a character in XSI 6 -> export this
into zbrush -> polypaint -> create tga out of the uv -> then
make it all ready for getting it into source engine
possible?
Awesome piano. 
Valve uses the Iron Cross instead of the Swastika...
Maybe you can get troubles with Valve when they
see these symbols in their games ... dunno, difficult
issue. 
I like the pics I have to confess. There are not many
desert-themed-Dod-maps out there.
I disagree with Hessis last critique-image: I won't
recommend to make the crate Swastika-festooned...
Even though I'm a big fan of reality and facts that
might lead to problems I think.
I once put a Swastika on a flag-model for DOD:S
but I preferred to change it into an Eisernes Kreuz,
something like that:

I'm not exactly sure about legal results but if you
want to stay safe use somewhat neutral stuff.
Like it too, could have more subdivs for a more detailed look.
Nice sandals.
Gnaah, I know the ground texture in the first render... help me,
where did I see this before?
Nice renders by the way. :wink:
Is this the right thread for this? I think so, because it's a
texture.
I made myself a daisy model and planted it upon an
appropriate grass texture (with an own detailprop entry):

Old people are way easier to draw then young pretty girls e.g.

We all love cgtextures... 
Nice render though.
Looks nice so far. The graphics are not far away from eye cancer
but what you bring up from this is great.
Quote from QuakisSomething I did out of boredom for HL2...
mapping out of boredom? you're a rich man compared to me,
i'm running a half dozen projects
I like the first one more... has a great rotten look.
If you want to have a "new" cupboard, take the 3rd.
I like it very much, I love street-themes... Great work!
That there are little sounds is not the problem, it's only
one of the points. The biggest point is the performance,
that's what is for me all about here.
I care about the look and said it's brilliant but "look" is
not "map".
And for the sake of god: I'll never feel envy for some-
thing I don't want to aim at.
Quote from hessidon't get your problem. maybe you should realise that games do not run in 100 fps all time. this isn't hl1.
It's all about multiplaying and cs:s is the most successful
multiplayer game. The players dont ONLY want a good
look. They want it fluently to run with none of that problems.
Why is de_dust2 successful? Not because the crappy look
but because of the good gameplay and high fps count.
Look what the customer desires if you want your map to
be played all over the servers and maybe the leagues.
Quote from hessilazy, i disagree with you. soundsscapes are well done. you even here a coin when looking through one of those lenses.and your crappy fps: get a new pc. if we would still work on 300mhz work stations like 7 years ago, you wouldnt even have game physics at all.
thanks.
You are again the only one that just cant handle with crititcs.
Every medal has a turning point u know? My system is not
high but good standard. If you only create maps for high ender
you are absolutely wrong in the job.
I stand my place: the soundscapes are shit because they almost
dont exist.
Okay, I took a closer look at this map:
(Dunno if you are going to fix it or if you just released a finalfinal...)
Increase the weight of these chairs and tables (same with cash boxes)!
They flip around like a tennisball even if I approach...

Really dont like your solution for this one:

I think you see by yourself, that will never be good. Take a look at my FPS.

This basement section really bogged my perfomance down, I also dislike the bald floor and ceiling:

Same here. Too bald for a public floor:

At the end my personal opinion:
I like the map but I really dislike the collossus-thing. Not only because of
the enormous fps-decrease I also think this really doesnt fit in a map-theme
like this. Okay, I'm sure you wanted to make this look freaked out somehow
but that didnt reach me. You can show us all your skills in building a map
with complete costum stuff, what is brilliant of course, and make it look like
this one or de_corse... but if it's unplayable it's nothing for the game cs:s
Next one are the sounds: Why did you scrimp on these? Some chipper here
and the waterfalls there but that's all...? There is missing a hole lot of more
ambient-sounds, wood creaking, drips in the cellar, machinery sound,
gulls, maybe local music somewhere. This is the biggest demerit in the
map.
Optics five stars but that's nowhere near all, so the sum: 3 of 5 stars from
me.
I love it too! Is this playable? I mean due to the performance...
insane
