Oh yea, oh yea... well I have around 15k inspiration images + 5k black and white Chicago 1930's historical photos, hehe

Bartollo: It's a good start, but I suggest you'll look into adding more distinct details that make map more realistic in terms of Soviet era. I know it's early in the design process, but here are some of the abandoned russian places:http://www.abandoned.ru

I can't really help with what is suitable in Soviet warehousre, because I was very young during those times, but look into abandoned stuff to get ideas what used to be significant to the atmosphere. Maybe some propaganda posters.

Thx Method!

Yes, propaganda stuff is cool idea, i've planed a big Lenin's poster on the wall on A or B site and big, concrete 'hammer&sickle' monument on the courtyard. Smaller one is above the gate on B-site.

At the moment i have almost 6000 reference photos according to properties of my 'mapping inspiration folder'

Yeah it looks nice but I'm with Evert on this one (regarding the lighting)

besides west wall was redesigned to put some more light on the floor

:wink:

Rick_D - Yes, "I am still using placeholders, in fact the ------ ceilings and grates are only temporary placeholders" ( brick walls are custom )

cheers

Quote from Coen

Think that's because he hasn't textured it yet

right, atm i'm using simple grey checker diffuse for props.

My very first WIP here

I'm workin on 100% custom content CS:S map, 'abandoned soviet industrial zone' - the ivan's factory

about 10-20% done at the moment

lightmaps are pretty f*** up right now, but overall colouration is good imho

:wink:

cheers

sweet stuff Warby

decent stuff buddy, i love jaw & eyes details!

Quote from Rick_D

I like that idea - maybe a few of us should get together and make a small pack of textures and models and see who can do the most creative stuff with it?

or make it 'team-contest'. get a team (4th ppl) and make a 1024x map with custom content.

Quote from Zete

next comp definatly needs to be custom allowed, same size or a little larger - one month

yea, 1024x1024x1024, full custom content, 6 weeks

Quote from zeon

come on.. haven't you ever seen ships falling from the skies?...

man get real..

Quote from Dodger

outstanding! flawless lighting!SOMEONE SPOTLIGHT THIS MAP!

YEY, lovly environmnent!

:arrow: like james, i like this fog idea, but when i was testing this map, i did now who is shoting and from where... maybe U can add some rain and clouds, and tweak fog settings to give us better view? the fog is way to fat, like dodger said. the geometry looks good imho, i like cables, thers lot of them.

maybe after some longer playtesting i'll post something more.

please, tweak this fog
