WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

[El Moroes]

Some new screens, added some CC in photoshop to gauge where I'd like it. Thoughts?

 

- screenshots -

 

I agree with kikette.

I think if your theme is "greenhouse" you should go further in it. 
I remember a map from the great (oooh yeah) 3D-Mike called de_greenhouse where he exploited well this thematic. 

Try to find it and test it (it's based on cs1.6 and I can't find it on the regretted lanmaniax website) - I know it's old but he used the thematic well  

Here some screens I found :

Hi, this is my wip, in a remake I'm doing. as you can see I am no expert, I need become familiar with the program and improve a lot.

looking at the screen looks very ugly remake but the gameplay does not look bad

I'll give it a gander Moroes. Definitely needs more work on the overgrown. Going to be making some assets to help with that.

A very simple scene after my first few days with Source. Loads to comment on of course but I'm still learning. I applied several techniques in this such as decals, overlays, props, env_sun, etc. So far I'm loving Source

Nice going so far. What's planned for the rest of your week ;-)?

[OrnateBaboon]

Yeah, good progress so far. Looks nice and clean

 

Might find this useful (assuming you want to change the sky texture - the current one one adds some nice detail). The CSGO skies are near the middle of the page.

To change the sky, go to Map > Map Properties, and paste in the name of the one you want. So sky_cs15_daylight01_hdr for example, would simply require you to paste sky_cs15_daylight01_hdr into the field.

Thanks guys. Regarding your question: This is build based on reference shots of the old building where I used to work. So I'll keep expanding (it's a big building) until I feel comfortable enough with the editor to go for a full map.

Looking good man. I take it you're following tutorials? Which sites are you finding the most helpful?

Tophattwaffle is really all I needed. Followed his V2 series and I was good to go.

Also, this is great for scale references. 

[leplubodeslapin]

Yes Tophattwaffle really does the best tutorials, even after using hammer for years i still learn things in his tutorials ...

Did a bit of work on readability, trying to make the map cleaner.

 

 

Older one.

 

 

Will add a blend of some sort so that the plaster textures are not just one colour. Older test blend.

 

[cashed]

Using the blend on walls is awesome. Just started using this in my other map as well

[PogoP]

Does that mean your walls are displacements?

[OrnateBaboon]

cashed - Agree! Although I am worried about the displacement limit which I think is easy to hit if all walls are displaced

 

PogoP - At the moment, I don't have any blends on the walls, they are normal bsp. The Hammer shot is a test blend to see what it might look like. But to add the blends, the walls would need to be displaced. Like how de_mirage is almost all displacements.

Started working on this again. This time I'm programming instead of doing everything in kismet early wip etc...

 

It reminds me a game called "Hogs of War" on Playstation.
