Seems like the model textures are missing in the zip linked above...
It probably looks so bad because this specific texture has a pretty messed up envmapmask.
It's not your fault. Looks just as bad in de_dust(2).
Quote from RealaxFourX1 hour ago, RealaxFourX said: Hello.
I am currently working on a competitive cs:go map and soon i will start detailling. What modeling program should I learn - maya, 3ds max or blender? Hardest things I will make is sculptures, vehicles and a helicopter. Maybe animated 3d skybox model. I will do some video editing and work later on with cryengine 5 or unreal Engine 4. I am planning to study architecture or design.And is it possible for valve to see if the models were made by a pirated version of 3ds max or maya? After I will finish school, I win't have enough money to pay for the "legal" version of 3ds max or maya. What texture creation program is the best? Photoshop?
Also, i have a limited time to learn the program, about 7 months.
I am thinking to go with maya, but I want to hear what pros would recommend. I am working alone, if it changes anything.
Since you don't have the money to buy a license, you will have to use free software.
Blender is an excellent program for 3d modeling.
Gimp for the textures.

Seems like it doesn't work yet. Started with de_crown, but after that it changed to cs_compound. Voting seems to be disabled.
It's still 37.59.30.83:27025, right?
Updated the workshop submission.
I think it's a lot better now, at least much closer to what I originally wanted.
Used the last weeks to make a couple of gameplay changes.
- Moved T-spawn, so that Ts are faster on their route to B/middle.

- Also moved stairs to the 'window' to 'living room' so that it's way harder to outflank CTs
[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/ACV0FWb.jpg]
- Bombsite B is not as tight anymore + added a shed as additional entrance/cover

- and improved cover on A site + moved everything a little so that it's harder to block with molotov/grenades etc.

It's not uploaded yet, but I hope to get it ready for tomorrow...
Some time ago they changed how proplighting is calculated.

Already made a simple reskin + additional light switch for my Austria map today (not online yet). Just tell me if you want to use it, then I'll give you the files. That's what it looks like:

Just a detail. But I could adjust this in my map too...
Quote from Squad15 hours ago, Squad said: I believe Yanzl (partially) copied the text from an actual German sign, so blame them! More seriously, no idea what the mistakes are, but feel free to point them out (unless they're too funny to remove ;))
I was afraid that it was a 'real' sign... Would be nice to know where he took this from. 
Can't believe that I'm doing this... Feels like being some kind of know-it-all teacher asshole guy now - but here we go:

Played de_shipped for a while today - I really enjoyed it! Layout is simple but with plenty of options to boost on containers etc. Really nice.
But some polishing still to do. I've put some things I found together http://imgur.com/a/UrMJZ
You are probably already aware of these things, but maybe it helps you.
So... finally played this online. As already said, it's really great. Intuitive layout, good space dimensions, good readability, outstanding visuals, (...)
Really professional work. Sadly the guys at Valve are by far not as professional at handling the workshop... 
Found some little things: http://imgur.com/a/uVOxU
Really nice map! Pretty cool setting and a lot of custom stuff.
But you should rework the arches imo. They are all very angular. Just make them a little rounder and it will look way better.
If someone of you wants to test this map online:
de_austria runs here during the next week:
America: 108.61.109.18:27045 Australia: 108.61.227.7:27075 Europe: 173.199.107.48:27015
Servers should be well populated most of the time.
Big thanks @ 3kliksphilip
Edit: Many promising submissions of the last weeks are there as well (concert, forlorn, lite, momentum, ramis, shipped, thrill, ...)

Workshop terrorists are back... 
I thinks it's Valve's turn now. It should be easy for them to detect those ~100 fake accounts and delete them. And remove the fake ratings. And ban the person who's responsible for this forever. And rework the complete workshop rating system, because it's just bullshit.
Quote from SirK22 hours ago, SirK said: I thought about something like that
Spoiler
and you could move the ct-spawn a little bit back too
Could work well, but it would change the way it's played completely. Don't know if this is really necessary. I'll have to think about this.
p.s. downrating bullshit is back. yay.

Naah, you just don't click it correctly. I'm sure it works.
Pretty strange... I could swear it worked yesterday.
thx
Well, we've seen a lot of promising maps in the last few days. (Some kind of overkill tbh.)
But this one is probably the best so far. That's exactly how to make a great map.
Quote from SirK3 hours ago, SirK said: Yeah thought so too. You could push it back into the river right beside the bridge - but that would make the timings even more CT-sided
Currently I give this a try: (extended B site to the front of the house)

What do you think?
Edit: Forget this. Makes it even worse.
