Beware! Long post!

V12 coming up:

 - Adjusted the CT rotation timings and fixed some weird angles. Here are some screenshots from the new CT spawn:

 - Here is the new path for CTs to Outside (goes underneath the connector to B site):

 - Changes to outside (the vehicle in the middle is WIP, placeholder brush in it's place):

 - Shortened the connector to B from outside:

 - Some more screenshots of first art pass on the buildings:

 - This is what the ship currently looks like:

Probly gonna retexture it in 4k and add more detail to the model cuz it looks like shite right now.

Made an ice model for the water:

There are some parts of the prop that look weird and unrealistic but I'm working on it. I will add a slight reflection as well.

I'm trying different water textures. This one is from inferno.

I'm testing it on V7 cause everything else is broken. Yes, Valve messed up hammer again.

You've done an excellent job of updating everyone with your progress and I think at this point having an environment artist help finish up the remaining tasks would really speed along the production process

The first art pass is done in most outside areas:

I've got that tower on the top as a landmark/orientation point.

I'll think about that. Maybe I will need someone to help me with the indoor stuff.

Looks great, although the yellowish texture makes the map feel 'warm', while it should feel cold because of the setting you're going for. Maybe try a less vibrant color or play around with some color correction. Keep it up!

I don't have time for changing colors. It's not that big of a deal. The orange texture that's all around the map is gonna stick, but I'll most likely change the colors of the crates that are on the ship.

and for some reason i cant post screenshots, Max total size 0.09MB. I guess i've reached the limit

This is the new ice model:

Did some more work on the ship:

And some more screenshots:

Working on a new path from outside to Bombsite A. I'll prob remove the part around B connector through CT spawn:

I'm also looking for an environment artist to help wrap up this project so if you are interested, feel free to contact me:

I made a lot of changes to outside, mainly the CT side and the routes to the bombsites:

 - The route to B now goes along that catwalk above the entrance to the CT Garage.

 - Also I've added another path to A that goes underneath bombsite B, which is relatively new and is still very much W.I.P. 

 - The CT Garage has an upper balcony area which is easily accessed from CT spawn. It provides CTs with a vent passage to Vent room which is right next to the B site and is also the second T entrance to the site through catwalk. CTs also have the choice to drop down into the lower area of the CT Garage, which is a one way drop and they can only get back with a boost.

 - Both bombsites now have 2 entrances for Terrorists but Counter Terrorists can feel safe rotating between the sites unless they give up outside and allow Terrorists to boost into the upper part of CT Garage. 

 - CT Garage allows for quick rotations in between the sites, almost as quick as rotating through CT spawn, so CTs now will have a second route for retaking each of the bombsites without loosing too much time.

 - You can also boost up the Elevator shaft now and you can drop on a small platform and safely get down without 'abusing the source engine surf physics' and risking taking damage.

I'm starting to set the theme for some indoor areas:

Some screenshot from CT spawn:

More detail to be added and I'll probably change the sun angle so those windows' shadows fall in the middle of the room.

Can't wait to see more. Looking great

There's something really off about the look of this map. Are you working from references?

All that metal floor doesn’t have sense I guess

Not really. I'm making up most of it, except for some parts. I'm using a reference for the ship and the indoor areas on the T side of the map. 

What do you think is off about the way it looks?

Idk maybe I'm overusing that metal texture.

Maybe if I used more reference, it would have been easier to keep the theme consistent but I'll try my best.

BTW I am working on a new ship model which consists of 3 separate parts so I can add more detail. The current one looks like absolute shit.
