Sure

These shots are just WIP shots of WIP assets; the support pillars are 2 units above the ground level since I still need to add details to the church and pillars' base where they meet the displacement ground.

Vous êtes nombreux sur Mapcore, les Bretons

Good choice you made; the stress and burn-out effects far outweigh any financial gains you might be having in my humble experience. Transition will be a bit rough especially to readjust with family and kids, but you will be opening new horizons and refreshing your mind especially in your native province among family and friends.

I wish you and your family best of luck; keep up the spirits

Still WIP, preparing assets.

Leon The Professional?

Being in Belgium, you have access to live reference materials; this is unfair

But seriously though, even with this early WIP pic, I can foresee the map turning into great shape and atmosphere based on this single house. It just feels right to look at it

Best of luck

Nice vista

Those 2 cables are ruining/throwing off the photo composition that is otherwise nicely framed between the 2 trees on each side of the panorama.

Great detail

Maybe you could enhance/boost contrast a bit so some edges of the body don't blur and merge with the white background.

So far, it is mostly a combination of func_detail and displacements; props will come to play as this WIP evolves.

More modular assets and instances (still WIP)

I finally completed the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood epic Western trilogy by watching the first 2 movies

A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

Having watched the 3rd (and most famous The good, the bad, and the ugly) many years ago, I watched the first 2 this past weekend back to back to complete the experience; totally worth it

Far Cry 4 Soundtrack - very atmospheric, relaxing and very well executed.

A WIP and rough port of "Forlorn" into Black Mesa deatmatch to test the waters; so far so good

I had some issues with CSM, as it is coded in-house for BM and behaves slightly different from the one in CSGO. I had to do some researching and technical reading about it and was able to manually tweak some parameters in VRAD and in the env_cascade_light (lightblend, shadow intensity...) to get the optimal lighting/shadows. All is good now.

The indoor atrium shots are dripping with awesomeness, great job

The outdoors seem open with a lot of props (could be wrong though as I'm just judging from screenshots); occluders might have to come to play to keep things in check. Just keep this in mind

Something like that but for BMSP would be very very cool I'm imagining some non-linear back-and-forth between the sections which are filled to the brim with enemies, with a grand finale at the ending after clearing out all the areas.

I'm really tempted now to go for SP despite knowing it will be very time-consuming compared to a DM map.

Maybe I'll start prototyping couple of areas and see how it flows.

Came across this Scottish heavy metal band called Alestorm; they are a cross between power metal (power chords riffs) and folk/viking metal (violins/keyboards/banjos...) and they dub their style as "pirate" metal. Why? because all of their songs are themed around pirates

Here's is one of their latest songs called "drink"

As the song goes: we are here to drink your beer, to steal your rum at the point of a gun...
