That there is three domes made with the carve tool. THREE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Only two, I said that I´d be using only two. The one on the left is an arch with a flat wall on the back.

Two uses of the carve tool is two uses too many. Isn't the arch on the left made with the carve tool too though? Looks like it.

M8, chill. The game is still running at 300fps (which is my max) when looking straight at them. I still have to tweek them a bit though too, and will certainly will have to work on the optimization when I need to.

The arch on the left is made choosing the "arch" option when creating a block.

You do realise that it's running at 300 fps because there's barely any brushwork there to begin with. No props, no textures, nothing. Of course it's going to run well, there's not much there!

Once all the detailing comes into place you'll realise how much those domes are going to affect your map. If you're so adamant on keeping the domes, I say go for it, but you will eventually realize why it's a bad idea and will probably scrap them in due time.

considering many interesting areas to rome, why is this open area what you want to recreate in particular?

perhaps a mix of the more modern streets opening up to historical sites that fit in csgo gameplay (not too open)

If an entire forum dedicated to mapping is actively trying to make you stay away from the carve tool you should probably take their advice

Okay, I see why most people don't like the varve tool, it leaves air of geometry which is hard to see through. I will keep the domes however, at least until I start seeing performance drops which I will then work on the domes tobhabe them better optimized

I'm mostly gonna center on this area. It will not be so open as you see in the pic, I have already been thinking of various ways to make it a closed map. It won't be a 1:1 sketch of the real place.

Updates from today:

Wooden planks can be broken.

 

I want to make A site and mid first, then release it on the workshop and whilst I´m making B, adjust A according to the feedback received.

Ohh, wow... that´s the 3rd best thing that´s happened to me today and possibly all year. Really makes me feel good to see that my favourite "map maker" commented here. Thanks a lot!

Keep working on the map and stay dedicated, more people will comment. Overall though, Rome is definitely a beautiful place in areas, I hope to see you follow through with the theme.

As I said, I mostly finished both mid and A site. Here it is on the workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700501278

I still need to add cover though, but I´d like to take some feedback on which parts of the map it´d be best to add cover.

Judging form the screenshots posted in the Workshop I see some very longs sightlines there.

yep, still got to add a lot of cover and walls. This was just a quick "finish" to get it on the workshop. Hopefully get some feedback and place walls and cover depending on the feedback.
