I think it would look really great if you made it worn out a little, like on this pic

you could also make use of the 4blend textures to break the red color up, since the majority of the map is red.
edit: it also appears that you already use color correction, is that true? maybe that's why the red color is so dark/strong.
I think it's just a bad placement for a sign, why not just go with a good ol' sprayed letter? could be sprayed over a map of the area or something.
that's how you make money these days.
Although cinema 4D is a fantastic 3d package, I would not recommend using it for game art simply because of its poor support of game formats.. I'm talking from my experience.
You will have a hard time finding a source exporter for c4d.
Luckily source does support *.obj format, which is great.. it has its limitations though.. only a single UV set and no bones/animations but it does support smoothing groups, which is really all you need if you want to export a simple mesh.
Another problem is collisions have to be in an *.smd format, and that's where you'll have troubles with c4d.
Anway, I would recommend reading through valve's docs https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compiling_a_model
Quote from EnhexI also wonder what kind of skyboxes can be used with such style?
space, definitely space.
surfing on asteroids while being chased by some space drones, would be pretty cool.
Looks good, but I think you should playtest this first before delving further into visuals.
i could prepare the map for playtesting, but i have issues when i try to pack the radar.
here's a small guide on how to pack radar properly http://imgur.com/a/0mlW0
Quote from Pamperswhats new in the beta compared to the alpha?
from what I know it's just new content(characters/maps) and improved already existing features like matchmaking etc.
the first screenshot(morning) looks much more alive, stick to it imo.
no problem dude 
yes you have to pack them to your bsp.
you can use pakrat https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Pakrat
I believe there are some alternatives too
You will need to decompile the model and modifty some stuff here's how I would do it: 1. Download crowbar(model compiler/decompiler) http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Crowbar…43212934593209/and GCFscape to extract the model from the game. http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/?p=26 2. open up GCFscape and load pak01_dir.vpk, which is located somewhere around here "C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivecsgo" 3. Now find your desired model, I went ahead and exported aztec_block.mdl. Export all the stuff associated with it. [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/halp/gcf.jpg] 4. now open up crowbar and load your extracted *.mdl file and hit the decompile button [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/halp/crowbar1.jpg] 5. now go to the "decompiled 0.24" folder, and open the 2 highlighted files [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/halp/files.jpg] 6. in the aztec_block.qc change the model's name and path to whatever you want, I've changed mine from
$modelname "props/de_aztec/aztec_block.mdl"to
$modelname "test/hurg.mdl"and save it. 7. now in aztec_block_reference.smd, notice this line "modelspropsde_aztecaztec_block" it's the path to your material, so let's replace those lines(any more decent text editor should be able do to that, I'm using notepad++) I've replaced the lines to "modelstesthurg" and then I saved it. [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/halp/smd.jpg] 8. go back to crowbar and switch to the "compile" tab, select csgo as a game to compile for, load your *.qc file and finally press the "Compile QC File" button. [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/halp/crowbar2.jpg] 9. Now you should be able to open and see your model in the model viewer, and as you can see it's pitch black since we haven't created the material yet, so let's do that next. [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/halp/hmw1.jpg] 10. I'm assuming you know how to create *.vtf and *.vmt files. I've put my texture and material here C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonCounter-Strike Global Offensivecsgomaterialsmodelstest and BOOM [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/halp/hmw2.jpg] it works!
sweet, beta starts tomorrow for anyone who owns left 4 dead or bioshock infinite 
I believe this is a common problem, although I've never experienced it I know some people who did.. they just restart hammer.
but what I do when I test my changes is run the map through hammer in a windowed mode.
just hit F9 or press the compile icon, then go to "Expert..." and create a new compile command.
mine looks like this
-dev -console -sw -w 1280 -h 720 -allowdebug -game $gamedir +fps_max 60 +map $filefps_max is there because otherwise my gpu becomes an airplane turbine. you can leave that one out.
I have to post this
can't find better music for hammering
what osKo said.
and playtest it asap so we can give you proper feedback!
check out this thread to do so.
where am I going to procrastinate now?
we want our chat back!
got South Park stick of truth, liking it so far
this will never work unless you show us some design docs, concept art, prototypes, .. anything
