Some of you might know this model Finally decided to create it and export it Source.

Spoiler For those who don't, it's a big tutorial learning you from scratch how to create/texture/UV unwrap/export a model from Blender to Source. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how to create a model, although the guy goes a bit fast at times, but watching it multiple times will get you more experience anyway.

Available on Blender Cloud or on Steam

Have you changed any HDR values of any light entities ?

Yesterday after countless hours of looking for reference images for a satellite center, I finally found some 3D image views of an existing satellite center. My motivation went from sad-no-inspiration to can't wait to work on my map every day.

Creating easy models in Blender also is going a lot better. And exporting them to Source is getting easier every day. Even bought a DSLR to take my own textures, so I'm really committed to get this map done. Now off to vacation and can't wait to get back to continue working on it for the next playtest!

Please add a mini-map. Overview seems way too complex, too many angles/corners that people need to check while traversing the map. (1) The CT's seem to arrive way sooner than the T's, make that it's almost the same or 1-2 seconds. There are also some really far sight-lines which makes an AWP'er have a field day.

This is what CSGO has become.. Hopefully Valve will actually close down these gambling sites because they are the cancer of the community.

This is happening:

....blue and strange shadows.

What I've tried to do (almost all):

- I followed the tutorial and models are normal. - I set the parameters correctly. - All entities lights are normal, removed all the names and styles. - Removed and added another light_enviroment. - I fixed all the errors of my map less "Nodraw on terrain surface." - I removed light_directional and nothing happened. - BrightnessScaleHDR is 1. - There are no leaks.

Someone can help me?

Are you sure you haven't changed any HDR value of any lighting ? Because usually that gives those funky blue shadows.

Adjusted the geometry of Valve's model to fit my needs better and reskinned it (and removed ~3k unneeded triangles for better fps)

And how it looks like in the map:

I always wondered, is it allowed to change Valve their models/textures for commercial projects? Edit: With commercial projects, I mean CS:GO operation maps.

Either way, awesome change ! Fits the environment

Saw this on /r/csmapmakers, really like it

No idea on Sketchfab previews.

AFAIK workshop maps are not publicly listed. You can only find them if you know the name. For instance mine is on there

Taking a break from mapping and trying to focus on learning modelling/texturing.

Gone a long way, if you see what I made a few months ago.... Going to try to make a high poly and bake it on a low poly tomorrow.

I'm not too sure on no mid too.

What are rotation times? Because it looks like they take a while Also for defending T's it's pretty easy to guess where the CT's come from. T's only have to push out a bit of the bombsite and they can just wait for the CT's to arrive and line them up.

What reasons did your friend tell give you to stick with default textures? Most of they look fine to me, but a bit too low resolution.

I'm not really an expert on texturing too, but here are some of my thoughts:

• woodwall_red03.vtf has the Normal Map flag checked, uncheck it as it is no normal map
• Add some detail textures to your VMT's to add more detail when the player gets close to your textures
• The bump maps on the hay is too aggressive Spoiler [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/iiulWCu.png]
  

  
  

• Some texturing needs work Hay Spoiler [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/xGtgwEh.png]

• Watch out with texture stretching (I think it's better that you use a model here instead of displacements) Spoiler [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/snQS2yW.png]
  

  Generally I think they mostly look good (for bombsite A, use a bit more variation in colors, it's all brownish wood there, spice it up). If you want to finish this project then I suggest sticking with the default textures, but if you want to learn: continue doing custom textures and iterating on them. You will not get good at it if you don't practice.

Some good tutorials:

• How to Create Textures From Scratch! by CG Geek
  
• https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Creating_a_Material
  
• Decompiling Valve their textures to see what they do

Some general thoughts:

The exclamation marks (!#) are all of the connections into mid, which I think there is too many of.

I think T-main (which didn't get a number... doi), !2 and !3 are all good.

!6 is okay but it's very close to the main route towards B anyways.

It feels like !1 was more of an afterthought. It doesn't help T's get any more map control and is generally only used during fast retakes. This could probably be merged with !2 if done right.

!4 and !5 however are not really necessary to connect to mid. To simplify things, I would suggest something like the image below.

There is a lot to talk about here, but it's all up to you. These are just my thoughts Logic out!

Wow thanks for the awesome edit of that minimap ! Helps a lot!

For the bombsite a, I really want it to be blowing up the satellite. But I can't find any good solution that fits the environment.

Thanks for the other feedback, I'll have a look at everything once I get the other feedback from the playtest.

I hope this is sufficient for now. Did the fix ups with Photoshop because I'm going to do more layout changes after I received all the feedback

I'm aware of that, but it's not listed on the Steam Group, there is no event for today. While normally they are listed there too.

Is the playtest for today going trough? Aftermath and my map is not on the Steam Group events list.

A couple routes meet up really quick or simply have the same goal. Taking a look at what to reduce will help players but also you finishing art.

I felt that A door was unnecessary and will create bottlenecks for T.

I think you should move the bombsites into the middles. They are great spaces but you're pushing them to the sides!

Thank you for the feedback!

I changed bombsite A a bit, made the bombsite in the middle like you said and opened it up. It allows more planting possibilities and more movement around the bombsite. I also removed the direct access from connector to the bombsite, because otherwise there were 5 entrances to bombsite A.

What routes do you think need merges? I don't see any besides the one I marked here below. And for the door, I'm going to leave it currently at this, not really sure what I should do with that area. But I defiantly don't want only 1 entrance for T's.[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/76ERqUe.png]

Hopefully I can make some changes to B too before the playtest in 2 days.

Any plans to support phong shading as one of the toolbars?

Awesome tool so far.

Just tried it today and it's not working on my side.

What I did :

• Dragged my materials folder (containing the .PSD files) on the .exe.
• Inputted Link as my mapname
• Created/Saved something in photoshop (Folder : Materials/projector_screen/FILE.PSD)
• No change in my materials/link/ folder

Am I missing something?
