WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

[Squad]

also testing a new workflow using source 2 hammer to create level specific props and exporting them 1:1 to source

Let us know how that works out  Would be interested to learn more about that.

Good luck on the remake! Are you going with a dusk/dawn theme or are these shots just from playing around with lighting env?

It's not much but I just came back to an Arms Race map for CSGO this week that I started back in spring and did some hallway work. I've got nothing but free time until the end of August  so I'm gonna try and get this out there before then. Trying to work in some more colors other than "red brick" to help players orient themselves as it's mostly a symmetrical layout. Full album can be found on the flickr account tied to the images.

some wip screens from heat remake level for csgo, this will be my largest csgo project to date, 80-90 custom props, 20-30 new materials, also testing a new workflow using source 2 hammer to create level specific props and exporting them 1:1 to source,

some non-sexy screens,

 

This is awesome.

It's happening ; told you last year when you started your Dota2 project that you'll spearhead the source2 development for CSGO and here we are

This is really cool! I wish arms race got more love.

Yeah sure, it's a quite simple process (with room for improvements), but basically the steps I've used is:

1. Build your layout in Hammer S1 (using dev textures)

2. Import your level into Hammer S2 (if you are building with custom textures you will need to make separate materials)

3. Build your props (ref mesh and col) export as FBX (note, you can build a col mesh in Maya, but I think it goes faster in Hammer S2, also UV mapping is not properly saved when exporting to FBX)

4. Import into maya, UV the prop, export with MESA-tools (far superior 3party model exporter than whats available for other tools) - guess you can import the FBX into any 3d program with exporter to Source1

5. Add models to level in Hammer S1

Will hopefully have a first version in a few weeks, but with the international coming up etc I'm not sure how much spare time I will have

Just playing around with the lighting now, have a few cool skyboxes but the skymaterial still seems to be broken ...and think I'll go with a skybox included in CS:GO to keep size down, and since the last level I made was set during night I think this one will be day 

 

This is awesome.

Wooot, was that a year ago!? time flies when having fun! heheh

Thanks, mr.P

Can't believe that was already a year ago!

The blue bricks look pretty huge, I'd suggest to scale them down a notch, to be more on par with the bricks in this picture:

Anyway, it looks pretty promising so far.

So much great work here!

 

While we're waiting for QuakeCon, here's a small tour of Mars City; In progress areas from Doom 3: Phobos

 

 

I was wondering what the status was. Looked up the mod page last week. Good to see you guys are still working on it. Especially with Doom3world going down, there's not much of a Doom 3 community left.

[Ahoy]

What do you guys think I can do to spice up my gym area? I'm okay with how it looks like in the 1st picture, but it looks like complete crap when viewed from the opposite direction. I have no idea what to do with this room

Everything is all symmetrical, so your eyes don't stick to anything. You could play with lines pointing to something gameplay relevant, like an exit or bombsite etc. Guide the player with light, contrast and colors.

B-site on de_complex (temporary name) I've been working on for a time now. Still figuring out how the rest of the level will work out. Balance is a big focus right now.

Graphics and props are temporary. I wont start with the theme/detailing until I know that the layout works and is fun to play!

Forgot stuff...

Looks great! Really reminds me of B-site on dust2, the right passage being the tunnel and left being double-doors. Loving all different covers!

Attached images are from a map I've been designing, it's still in early development and especially the hallways need some polishing.

scale looks mental there, what's the map timings to sites?

Thanks

Thank you. Yes, the B-site is quite similar to Dust 2, with the tunnel and all, but I'm trying to make it wider and more interesting for attackers. T's will be able to throw smokes and flashes through the window over the door and maybe other windows once I start detailing the map.

I can't say much about your level from the overview screenshots, but you can use cl_leveloverview to take a flat screenshot of your level from above, makes things look a bit better

Hey guys, first time poster here. Currently working on my first ever map that's actually found its way onto the Workshop. It won't play great in CS, but it's a nice way to get used to working with Hammer.
