I like the cliffs. Are they displacements or models?

Most of it is displacements mixed with a few props.

Absolutely stunning, I couldn’t visualise it like this from the first screens, I’m so glad I was so wrong.

Like someone said, the evil-lair vibe runs strong in these screens  makes me think of a set for 007 more than anything.

Best of luck for the contest!

So, after you win this contest, will they be available to be used in other maps by others? The cliff textures are made in substance designer?

Cliff textures are actually stock valve. I photoshopped some moss on it, changed the color and made a few custom blends. I can release this stuff once I'm done of course.

Thank you and good luck!

One of my favourites. Congratz on your work!

This looks really promising : )

Here's the workshop link to my map to qualify me for the contest. It's been public all along anyway.

Workshop download

I'll be doing the re-release sometime in the coming week.

It's finally time for the release!

Workshop download

Since the contest deadline I've mostly been working on improving clipping, small lighting bugs etc. One notable thing I did is, I merged the modular dome models. The dome used to be made of about 2500 models, now it's only about 50. This improved the performance by about 15-20% throughout the map (on my system).

I'm hoping to get some feedback on performance improvements. If this was successful on other systems too I'll try the foliage and other models as well.

Map looks amazing!

The map reminds me of "Tropical Island" in Krausnick, Germany.
