Guni 73 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Throwing my hat into the ring once again. After recently travelling to Japan I wanted to try to capture a location that I enjoyed whilst also diversifying the current environments within Counter Strike. The level will take its theme and insipiration from 'Fushimi Inari Shrine' in Kyoto. Shrine is a 5v5 Competitive Bomb Defusal Map with its theme and inspiration taken from 'Fushimi Inari Shrine' in Kyoto. This is the initial release for timings and layout. I would appreciate any constructive feedback. Layout + Screenshots Spoiler Main References Spoiler Changelog 12/06/2017 Spoiler - Shortened and Tightened Middle - T spawn and street were compacted - Ct Spawn brought forward for timings - A Site completely remade - B Site completely remade - Some Sightlines covered or removed - Clipped some brushes Changelog 26/06/2017 Spoiler Alpha 2 Release General: - Reduced Clipping in sites and areas of playable interest - Entire map recieved a scale down both horizontally and vertically - Removed displacements and other long pathways that created sightlines and pain.

grapen 1,547 Report post Posted June 9, 2017 I absolutely love Kyoto, re-imagining such a beautiful place is a tall order If i were to make a Kyoto inspired map I would be sure to make use of the diverse environments of the city, from the paved streets, to the river, to the mountains and bamboo forest. Even if they're jsut located in the peripherals of the map. Good luck! 1 Guni reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guni 73 Report post Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Little Update: Started to learn 3D software and slowly progressing, big thank you to everyone I pester with questions. This Torii gate was my first model without following a guide. A lot to learn but pretty excited to see I'm capable of these things. New playtest hopefully for the 13th to test the smaller map and rework of sites.

Guni 73 Report post Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Took a quick break from the props and textures to go back to the map and flesh it out a bit more.

noobgames 28 Report post Posted July 13, 2017 Just wanted to say that the overview is kinda confusing, you might want to darken the non playable areas more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guni 73 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 Been awhile since I've posted anything, Im smashing out as much as I possibly can do each day with brush work and texturing. Though I'd like to prevent showing any sneak peaks till the end. At this point in time I would like to extend an Invite out to any potential Environment Artists looking to increase their portfolio and obviously have a hand in the competition. The sheer quantity of custom assets that I require most definitely out-way my current speed and skill set when it comes to 3d modelling etc. Happy to go 50/50 in anything, just want to get the project completed at this point and have a final piece to show on a Portfolio.
