work in progress : de_manifoods

Hi all, I wanted to show off my latest work, it's a bomb / defuse map for Counter-Strike Source and as the title says it's still a work in progress.

Comments / Tips please

Very nice, i like the custom models

[Jenn0_Bing]

Yeah, really like the style. It's nicely detailed, and your custom props look good. The only thing that looks odd is the giant pears dotted around, i guess this is some kind of GM food factory which explains why the pears are so large, but it doesn't explain why there where you ahve put them.

You're right, it's a factory that manipulates Fruits, but ive placed some pears around the map for testing

Awesome brushwork. Looks really good.

My only complaint is that for the size of the fruit...shouldn't they be smoother in appearance?

[JeanPaul]

Lighting is a bit bland

Also, those round bits you have in each area do not fit with the theme at ALL

Pretty sweet so far though

Looks great mate! I dig the DM feeling this map has, it's bold but can create some great gameplay. It looks good, looks fast paced and simple

Looks real great! I think it fits CS:S very well indeed in terms of lighting, details and all that jazz.

I would experiment with changing the wall textures in the main room. The large bricks and such are not working too well for me!

[Steppenwolf]

Interesting brushwork. It looks promising thats for sure.

The fruits look very much out of place tho imo. In the first two screens the lighting and ceilings looks a bit repetive. You can try to break this up by turning of the one or other light source or by darken some of the windows as you did on the third screen already.

Yeah, fruits look odd... Try to create to visual explanation for the player, of the "why are those big ass fruits in here".

Also, next time you take shots turn on anisotropic filtering! My eyes!!

Once again thx for the comments , i am considering replacing the fruits for something else , i also need somethings that make every room unique.. i will keep u guys up to date

[JeanPaul]

Wait I just looked at the shots again

Why the fuck are there car tire sized fruit scattered all about?

[dux]

Do I spy inspiration on a piece of your architecture

Yeah man, but don't ruin the kick ass architecture and brush work with horrible ideas like big ass fruits... this level is looking too neat for it!
