Would be nice if the stained glass in the second picture has some light coming through.

And how about some stacked pews against the walls instead?

Oh! That's a neat solution, the added height even makes it usable for cover as long as I throw some kind of dust-protecting fabric over the back of it. I've got some experimenting to do

The stained glass is something I spent a lot of thought on a while back. It's not being directly hit by sunlight, but it gets a lot of reflective light from the building opposite of it. I added some colored directional light, but they're not very convincing, and with the new reddish texture they're being consumed so that they're hardly noticable. I don't have enough source experience to know what's technically possible here, so I'll gladly take tips!

Working on finishing up the chapel area. Felt the previous art direction here was too similar to the rest of the map. Still not sure what objects to drop on the floor, as I don't want them to obstruct player movement. A bunch of pews is therefore out of the question, even though it would look sick visually.

Yeah a shame, I mean this might be cool if you're the 0,01% of the remaining player base that's super hardcore about the game, but I can't see many more buy an expansion that only contains a class. I wonder what changed their minds about necro though since they've said from the start that there won't ever be one, considering he would be too similar to WD.

Wait, am I missing something? To me it looks like it's just an event with a 16 level dungeon and awkward controls? And the necro will be purchasable? Underwhelming.

I know there's at least one more forum member who plays this gacha game that has had me addicted for the past three months (I saw your username on Reddit hehe), so I figured I'd see if there are more.

FFBE is basically old school Final Fantasy with pseudo gambling attached to it. You gamble for nostalgic units and fight with them through a story, with weekly events being pulled from past games in the series.

Today they launched a special banner with increased drop chance on FF3 units. I have to admit I was pretty excited, and was about to dump all of my F2P resources that I've collected over the past months. The top prize unit has a chance of 0,5%, while the second best has a 5% chance. I got both of them within three summons, which obviously is insane. My luck can only get worse from here on out. If anyone needs a OP Luneth friend unit my ID is 488,128,010 - (I just need to level him some more)

Sick Necro art. Gives me 90's MTG vibes.

I've been forced to change my standard fps playstyle. I usually play medic and hide in buildings/behind tanks a lot. If I'm in the open I prone in ditches after being spotted, it doesn't take long, it seems, for the snipers to lose interest in me and target someone else. I've bsically slowed down a lot. This has turned out to be a winning formula for me at least. Sniper heavy teams tend to lose hard.

I want to know what all those rumors about their legacy titles are about. Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft in HD?

Increased revenue through smaller transactions similar to their other titles is one I can think of off the top of my head

I obviously don't have access to Blizzards data, but I have serious doubts about D3 having even a million players at the start of a season. I've played in all 7, and my impression is that the player base have been diminishing greatly with each season. You'll be hard pressed to find any public games, and everyone I've spoken to who still play says that they just play for a few days to get the extra stash, then call it quits until next time.

Welp I caved in and bought it. Played the italian operation and loved it. I have no friends playing this, so please add LikeIceCream, would be cool to get the full experience

Will this fly with the demographic in the ad? I'm 30, I commute to work, but I carry two devices and a bunch of other shit already. There's not enough time to whip it out and play Zelda during the day anyway. Feels bad man.

I've played every BF title and had a lot of fun - for like 10 hours each. Still on the fence on this one, just don't know if I'm full on the genre. Operations look sick and the theme is great, but full price? I'm not sure this time.

I'd like news of a new Diablo title at this point. No expansion please. Would love to see the genre reinvented from the core. More focus on adventure, exploration, mechanical skills, difficult content (not power creep), community.

Yep, still painting with the large brush strokes to get composition, color and values right. Looking forward to getting down to the finer details soon(TM)

The big brush in the center of the upper left screen has been unchanged since the greybox, for example. ?

Progress started to really kick off once I began working with Substance Designer a few weeks back. Churning out textures and models, beginning to see the light I guess.

Thanks for all of the replies and help! I really appreciate it

That's because of the paths in your qc, look at it again the game already knows to look in ../materials for materials and ../models for models, you only need to specify directories below these.

Place your model textures in \steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\materials\models\yourmapfolder

Try compiling again after that.

I second phong, or static envmaps when indoors, such as: "environment maps/metal_generic_001" for example.

What does your .qc look like?

I like it, good job on the Brawl, it's really cool!

The community had me hyped up about "vampire hunter mccree" though, so thanks for nothing Reddit

22 hours ago, Dosentti said: I see Substance Design is pretty HC tool. I gotta try it too. Is it any good with creating textures for csgo since there are so many limitations?

Sure you can. I'm about to wrap up the material below (normal map needs to be toned down obviously, haven't tweaked it yet).

Personal opinion: don't go crazy on the noise when designing textures for CSGO and you'll do great.

In-game screenshot from just above player height. The only editing I did on the diffuse in Photoshop was to grab the normal, desaturate it and set it to Soft Light, just to give it a nudge of depth for low shader users and/or in shadows. As an amateur I'm very happy with the results.
