It's very quick to make a specular alot better than what crazybump can produce. When I want a quick specular I just make a layergroup over the diffuse in photoshop and in it I put one desaturation and then one masked levels-layer for each different material in the diffuse. Then just adjust the levels depending on the material that is masked. Usually I also put some desaturated photomaterial on top on overlay to get some added detail. 3-5 mins tops and always a workable result.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

":1h3h2mxg]You use the specular maps generated in crazybump?! Man you're lazy...

Yea yea I didn't really have much time left considering that all I did now already took me 3-4 hours to make. But if I have some spare time I'll make better speculars...

And thanks for the tips DvS! It'll be useful. The fog was just a test though...

The top screen seems to be having some specular issues in the ceiling area.

Yeah I gave the metal-beam texture a way too bright specular, will fix that soon. Crazybump-made-speculars are always waaaay to bright in source :s

Trying to create a nice abandoned scene for a mapbattle ;

I definitely see some ep2 textures in there, he probably ported them to hl2dm...

I'm downloading the map right now, have always been and still am a hl2dm fan so I'll take a look at the map

Wish I could enter, because I said I would, but my map for the hl2dmu contest has to be finished today I'll join the next war for sure though

Wow, this one is my absolute favorite!, only thing that bothers me a little is that the sky is really empty and plain...

They all look amazing, nice environments, great lighting, great atmosphere!

Nothing to add except for one thing that caught my eye, in your first pic (the one with the ghost ) there is a lens flare in the bottom left corner, It doesn't really fit in with the photo IMO...

How much did u pay for those Punky? Looks nice

about $40, it has a great bass sound to it, and you can just pull the ears out of the holder. The only thing I'm afraid of is that it breaks as Dux said

Some new shots I took today;

Birthday present, It's a 10" bass amp, 75 watts I love it.

I also expect to get some new games this weekend, I'm so curious

Count me in for the 28th

Oops double post

Count me in for the 28th!

This is only part one people, there is going to be a sequel to this...

All I have to say to this is; respect for making this map without getting any errors or crashes...

That's just awesome, great work, it fits the TF2 style perfectly!
