Thanks for feedback!
catfood - with regards to the lighting and colours, for the time being I tried to copy games that have a lot of colour in one area. Example image below. I think if too saturated, things might get a bit crazy!
leplubodeslapin - thanks for those images. I played Life Is Strange as well and took images, but was on such low settings, so things looked a bit crap. Will definitely be using them for ideas - got the back of the beach ready to art in last image. I think maybe rocks, trees and foliage instead of whales! The watchtower would also be good to add. Will see what can be done with lighting when the map is more complete. What might look good in one area, might look too saturated in another.
Worked more on CT spawn - did a build with trees as well, but they are so dark, I think the only solution to fixing them so they are not almost black is to lighten the texture a lot, and recompile. Turning off shadows etc makes the trees look radioactive.

Lots of new stuff in my rts project :
I have create a little "behind the scene" to share the way i placed all my blueprints trees in the level : 
 
 

I made a small scene

that's an oil refinery in the background

Spent a few evenings working on my skybox. It's not Monte Grappa, but it's not half bad either. This is not the final color pass though, so that needs some work. I also need to blend it with some textures for added detail. Mesh is currently 9,800 tris with a 2k texture. Should be able to trim it down a few thousand by culling that which can't be seen.


 

? ?
I can die happy now

Hey hoy hello bonjour,
This topic could be placed in Work Release because my work on this is over but the map isn't ready yet, so i'm going to put this here
This is a project i've been working during the end of 2016 and this month, it was originally a request from a french dude named Nonix :
The goal was to retake a map made by a russian map maker named "❤Аня-Хуяня❤", she created something on CS:GO based on the universe of Stalker games :

I had to take the map, change the mood from it to something darker, scarier and add some playable areas. So, for the sake of an easy optimization (  ), I firstly decided to add a fog and reworked the mood of it.
In the original map, there are ...
A corn field

A train station

Buildings...

Warehouses and stuff...

 
The map is pretty big :

And this is what i made on it :

 
So, the most important part of my work was to add 3 bases. The map will be used in a custom gamemode which will be a sort of mix between zombies gamemodes and roleplay. All the players will be playing as humans, divided in 3 different groups. Bots are the zombies. So, even if the other players will be humans, you won't necessarily be friends, it's a hostile universe. The bases are shelters in which you will be able to share ammunitions, share food, sleep, prepare attacks ...
The 3 bases are almost the same :
There is an outside area with a tower and fences :



 
Inside , it's quite comfy :



 
And, for the rest of the map, it's quite comfy too :



 
If you want to give it a try, i uploaded the current version on my ftp :
http://www.citrowagon.fr/leplubodeslapin/maps/csgo/the_last_hope_v15.zip
There's a nav file but you should kick the bots, i played a bit with the nav file (to avoid them being able to get inside the bases) and they're extremely stupid.
If you want to get inside the bases, you can open the fences with those commands :
ent_fire barriere_base_1 open
ent_fire barriere_base_2 open
ent_fire barriere_base_3 open
(sv_cheats 1 needed)
 
So this is not a typical CS:GO map, it was more of a fun project for me to work on post-apocalyptic stuff 

Mapcore Reunion 2017 plz!

 

Spent the past two evenings trying to make this bark for my tree. I swear this material will give me gray hair. I just can't make it look the way I want it. I was going for european white elm, but ehh yeah not even close. I need to figure out how to do the smaller "flaky" parts.

Update: messed around a bit during lunch. Might be getting somewhere now.

Been taking a break from normal stuff to work on something a little more serious. 





 
It's an am_map I am hoping to release sometime nest week. Still have a few more props to make, and some small tweaks and house keeping, but the main area is basically done.
 
 

fuck i love substance designer... 3 hours just vanished before my eyes

I think it's time to optimize this pretty rough version to organize a playtest as soon as possible because I'm sure there are a lot of things to improve since we changed a lot the design...

TopHattWaffle and I have been working on this map for a long time, and I wanted to start getting some of our work out there. I don't want to post the whole map yet but this will give you a taste of what we are working on. This is obviously a WIP, but I hope you guys like what you see. We're always open to suggestions.
The map takes place in a partially decommissioned Titan II missile silo, and a lot of the things you see are (semi accurate) recreations of what you would find if you actually visited one.

thank you sir!

Working on an aim map again. This time to actually finish it.
 
 

Cool, ok thanks ! It's a nice one

And here, we had a bit of snow so I went near Lyon in one of my favorite place to shoot a bit :

"Invincibles"


"Mélanges"

 
"Résiste"

Yet another update.
I changed the sewer a little bit gameplay wise.


 

Dump incoming, some renders may be a bit worse than others, felt in a sharing mood this particular night.
We are hard at work to make Transit great again

I finally defeated VRAD. Slightly cheaper than our favourite Source tree, here for scale.

So, where do I sign up for HURG Studios to make HL3/Episode3/The End? 

Crates, as in the original. Only now, you need to buy a 2,2 € key to see if there's any ammo or hp in it 

Finally had some time over the holidays to get back to this. DE_TITAN. ( hopefully that isn't taken haha )
