you definitely need some vines in there, a lot of them . There's a lot of green in there. Also, don't make it rainy and depressing! Bruges looks best in spring with lots of color imo! 

Quality ref! Thanks . I shall work on getting more of this in there.

The architecture is indeed very visualy pleasing, but the amount of props that are unrelated to the environment ruin it. It would be a good idea to find replacements for those industrial props.

I would agree , at the moment I have just been grabbing CSGO props to speed things up. My plan is to replace the unrelated stuff with my own custom content.

Thought I might break out in to my own thread for my Bruges map. Everything is up in the air at the moment, I am using existing assets for everything at the moment. Once I am happy with the layout I will start adding in my own assets. I have started to work on some low poly models for background buildings:

and just a couple of general shots:

Fooking Bruges

Yeah, that is a good point.

I still like the general composition and colours. The actual implemtation of it all is a bit ropey, it was my final year uni project, so was really rushed by the end. These are the final shots of it:

Hah, that is awesome. Glad I am bringing back some nostalgia, was not expecting anybody to remember them! I have one more old school image from the same time:

This thread is really making me want to dust off some of my millions of canned maps! I really want to dust off my Hammer and make some levels again as well!

Few trees and bush/trees I am working on

Cheers guys , I am going to try and get more colour in there with some orange lighting in the house. I have added a few coloured christmas lights (they turn on when survival mode is activated). I have spent a bit of time making some super cheap woodland models to go around the edge of the map. Hopefully it feels a bit more like it is sat in woodland, rather than on some giant snow plane.

I am trying to make a little l4D2 survival map, ideally before christmas day! Its all very wip at the moment. I have been taking the time to make custom props, like the snow covered roof and the internal stairs (not pictured). Posting up progress in the hope that it spurs me on to get this finished!

Working on some bespoke stairs for a L4D map, not finished so there are some dodgy bits.

Its all up and running again now .

Woot, its exciting times round here .

Nice, I like the snapped tree!

After some rather lame computer issues, I have compiled all my recent models .

Photos, apart from the grass and wild flowers, I hand painted those.

Thanks man . There is nothing inovative about the way I do foliage really, its just a texture and planes placed around. I did a quick run through of a bush, it may be handy who knows:

Yet more foliage , big chunk of hedge section for blocking out the edges of battlegrounds 2 maps:

I like his space suit .

I had yet more free time at work, knocked up a house for the chaps at battlegrounds 2 mod.

Had a bit of spare time at work, so have been rehashing a model I made a while back.

Some 2000 triangle trees.
