de_something [wip]

[ReNo]

You should maybe get some big ass thing into the skybox that you can see from anywhere, thereby providing a useful landmark that an help tie everything together. Be it a hill, tall building, or industrial smokestack, I think it would help out.

[SonicDM]

I'll be thinking of something for that. gonna be hard since the map is sortof on a slant. as in the ct spawn in the highest point and the t spawn in the lowest.

here is a link to the newest one : http://chshackers.nuclearfallout.net/server/maps/de_something_b9.bsp

looking much better sonic

[Bic-B@ll]

i like the bridge railing a lot, however, for the love of god get anew grass texture, i hate that hl2 one a whole lot

you should probably try to get some more color in there, i dont know of youre going for dreerie or something but everything is sort of washed out and just lacking. add some scratchy billboards or something, it just really needs some color

[SonicDM]

i am sorta leaning towards a dry and cold winter day in some industrial complex.

True....

More Updates Time

Here is a new overview to snack on:

And some T-Spawn Changes:

Some Big Skyboxey goodness ( or badness):

Things don't really seem to fit the theme IMO. Everything look just so out of place somehow. Plus it's all just some boring buildings really. No atmosphere.

My suggestion would be to give the map a theme and to build around that. Try to think about scenes from movies while mapping or something.

Sorry to be so blunt

[hamst3r]

might want to create a blending texture between that concrete and the grass sticking out of it, it will make it look alot more natural.

[Dr.DK]

I'd expect a "bow-bridge" in a park, not in an industrial area. I wouldn't picnic over there.

[⌐■_■]

Ok Sonic,

I'll be more specific:

I hope this helps. Succes with mapping anyroad!

[KoKo5oVaR]

oh yeah that's a good critic tomato, i won't add more, exept that i think you need to change your lighting to something more colorful, there's no ambience in these pics

[MJ]

skypicture looks weird. why does the faded mountain have straight lines on top ??

[von*ferret]

does look like its the actual graphic, maybe how he set up his skybox or the fog involved. Who knows
