[PRE-RELEASE] Geothermal

[borgking]

Hello Guys,

I am happy to present my contest entry: The Pre-Release Version of Geothermal.
Geothermal is a defuse-mode map set around a geothermal powerplant placed in the cold wilderness of Iceland.

The maps development will be continued after the contest, and I am happy for any feedback that can potentially help improve its quality.

This is looking really nice, good job! I am really interested about skybox terrain how did you make it?

Thank you!

Well, currently the 3d sky consists of only 3 parts: 1. Some displacements with a simple 4way blend material (that I also use in the rest of the map. 2. Four Mountain meshes. These were created using world machine, and then reduced to working ingame meshes, with a shared texture atlas. 3. The lake wich is just one 25px texture as unlitgeneric spread on one func_detail. Simple, but considering the time i spend on it, very efficient. Obviously there is still a lot there, that can be improved, and i will certainly come back to it at a later time.

Comming back from vacation I released a small update today to add the missing prop, causing the black boxes. No other changes where made on the map.
