CS_MAX

The map is set in deserted Arizona warehouse/facility.

 

I am looking for general feedback, I will be arranging a Mapcore playtest so you will also be able to write here after it!

In terms of theme, I would advise not going with the warehouse, and a Japenese Village would be interesting. Also, if you want to find another theme you can go to FMPone's steam forum, and look at his thread for De_Mirage2's theme, a shitload of themes there that are all really good and unused.

I can only second Parkcityfan's suggestions, there are some really great themes nobody uses in FMPONE's group.

Ouch... I guess I didn't pack custom textures for models correctly.. Will have to ship an update now, thank you!

 

EDIT: Fixed, check now!

It works

This is not an update yet, but I just wanted to keep a track of things I've done so far.

I've began adding cosmetics.

 

The props inside seem to have weird lighting... I'm not sure what's causing it, I'm full compiling the map every time.

Any clues?

(You can notice how they stand out ETC)

 

Also, cs_max is a small map in comparison... It shouldn't take too long for me to finish it!

Wow. Not long at all, you've been at this for what, 2 weeks?

[TheGuma]

Nope, 4 days!

The graybox took me 2 hours to make.

 

Done some more progress, not final.

(The theme is finally shaping up)

Some of the things I've done is making the color palette more dull, I've received some feedback that the sand looked too bright and orange-y.

 

 

 

Also, got the shadows fixed too...

 

 

I compiled the map with -staticproplighting, it takes twice as long now but looks a lot better!

I'm pretty satisfied with what I was able to do over just a few days.

[jaydenxs]

I do agree on changing the sand, it did look a little too bright for that particular setting

[Muffin]

4 days? U folken wot m8?

 

Anyways, the map feels a little lacking of some... "pop"/"wow". You should try to add something defining the the map, like a giant tower or something in the middle.

[shawnolson]

The name of your map and the theme of it... really makes this relevant: http://www.wallworm.net/index.php/topic,1206.0.htmlYou should consider moving it to Max and participating in the contest

Ye previously sand looked like HL surface tension's cliffs, much better now.

Looks very good to me.

How many maps you developing at the same time???

You are right.

I will consider it, however, I do not have 3dsMax and I have no idea how it works. The trees are modeled with Blender
