Hey there, Mapcore community!
I recently (~1 month ago) started to make some Counter-Strike: Global Offensive maps. It's a lot of fun, but I never reached a point where I "finished" a whole map, simply for the reason because I never liked the whole layout.
de_flip (I might change the name later on) is my latest layout, following the A - mid - B pattern. When I was done with the main layout, I started thinking about a "unique" theme: a German historic district ("Altstadt" as we would call it in German). I have enough examples, but I'm not sure how to make my map look good.
This is the current version of map (without details) - the yellow lines show areas which are hidden:

This is, what the buildings should look like:

Sooooo do you guys have some good tutorials on how to detail levels or on how to make/find your own textures? What do you think about the layout?
As I said, I would call myself a noob.
Thanks!
