[TF2] cp_unnamed (updated)

[DvS]

Thought I'd stop spamming the wip screenshot thread and start my own.

This is what the map textures looked like:

And this is what I'm trying out at the moment. It is pretty cheap, a blend between the cutout filter and some other stuff + a new normal map, but I can't help but liking it for some reason.

I cropped out the textures that I haven't changed yet, they will require more work so if I end up going back to the other texture style, I won't lose as much time. Feel free to add input.

Still orangemapping the layout, nothing concrete yet.

Also, taking suggestions for names, cp_dust = no

i like it

[Deathy]

Looks nice so far!

What about cp_orient or cp_oriental?

[Zeta]

pl_orient is my chinese themed wip map so im going to vote no to that name.

Looks nice. Are these made from scratch or reference images?

Ref pics, yes and no. When I look at them now they don't really resemble what I have at all.

Trying to get the look right, it doesn't seem to want to fit in nicely.

The last texture worked close up, but tiled really badly with the chipped corners.

EDIT: Progress, I hope....

Red lines mark the setup doors that open simultaniously. Feel free to make suggestions.

Too many small corridors I would say.

I'm digging that new texture, but i will say i feel the "brush strokes" are a little too small and noisy. Valves textures have a very flat diffuse, then the detail is added with detail maps over the top and depth with normal or ss_normal maps.

As for the layout, i think it looks interesting. But i agree it looks a little corridor heavy at the moment.

the new texture is ace. very tf2sh

Those sticking-out bricks need to be pulled in by 8 units or so. As they are at the moment, they are just floating in mid-air!

Upper bit changed, lower stayed the same for comparison.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I thought about replicating valve's style exactly, and while I could do it eventually, I don't think it's artistically sound to do it the same exact way. The new texture may be too noisy due to a sharp normal map though.

Nice catch, hadn't noticed

Actually, I don't think they are floating in mid-air, but it does look that way. I would try pulling them in by 8 units and seeing how that looks.
