Small new map ive been working on, Here is a video and some screen shots, any feed back is much appreciated. Steam workshop link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=469993323 Youtube video(also in steam workshop) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnjGkw7w9Lk (sorry for shitty/ grainy video, my video card isnt good.)

Fixed by deleting lod and cubemap and eater block all together then recreating the water. Something was glitched with it I guess.

My water textures are either not showing when i don't have a cube map or a lod controler. But my problem is that with them the water shows as cheap water and looks like its solid. This is very aggravating and i would like to know how it fix it.

Ill watch other things then 3k. Are there any advanced texturing tutorials?

I'm new and I've been messing with hammer for a couple of weeks now. I've been starting to make a new map that I've thought of for a while now which is a mansion. So far I have a drawn map top down view but not made it in hammer. So far in hammer ive made the front of the mansion but nothing else. I want to know how to make every thing look very detailed and good. I also need help with creating stairs that are in the front enterance. These are the big curved stairs that most mansions have. With the props availble to me I can't make this. Also it seems I don't have the textures availble to me to be able to make the inside of the mansion. My next plee for help is how can I improve at making maps in hammer so I could make some worthwhile maps. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
