[Fulcrum]

Wow that rock looks seriously good, models and textures or just texture?

[NickMBR]

Looks awesome!

[Joufflu]

Omg it's Souce ? Thank you, good job

[Magman77]

TIL mapper's stiffy is a thing

[Stiffy360]

If anyone wants I can do a small incomplete vmf release for people to poke at.

[CreaseInTime]

That would be great, your natural terrain work is always impressive!

[Magman77]

As if you had to ask. Fork it over, magic man.

About 3 years ago I posted about a mirrors edge inspired map, then disappeared. Since then I started adding to it again, here are some screenies:

And here's how the other side of the wall looks:

Any suggestions as to how the hell am I gonna make the skybox to this?

[Magman77]

If you're feeling adventurous you could export some prefab buildings to obj and build the skybox in blender.

[Portugalotaku]

It does not look like ME yet, it needs more bloom :VVV

[Stiffy360]

Please do not release or use the assets in a release in any form or manner without my exclusive permission. I still need to clean up and refine a number of things.

[Jakkalen]

Just wanna tell you that I'm loving this, I find this kind of modern Japanese architecture super cool and I'm hyped every time I see your progress. Also really like the lighting right now!
Any plans to turn this into a bigger Japanese suburb type map?

got some okay work on RP_SpringYardCity_UT changed some things because of lag so its more compact

[hops]

This has a lot of potential, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

This glass/glass border is driving me bananas, though.

[Magman77]

That's gonna have a solid urban atmosphere once it's full enclose!

[TheYellowTowel]

mm yes i saw that too ill fix it before its done lol

[hops]

I would honestly just border it with a brush. That way you can use whatever glass texture you see fit, and it has a realistic end point somewhere.

[TheMrFailz]

Yall ever try to drag google earth stuff kicking and screaming into hammer? This is a test abusing the hell out of photogrammetry and a building local to me.

[Magman77]

I actually have!

[TheMrFailz]

OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT coooooooool! Hey did you ever get around the problem of collisions during compiling the model going "mmm I don't know about that chief" and just doing the ol' convex wrapping job?

[Magman77]

I didn't even think about collisions and just fudged it in broad-strokes with nodraw brushes.

[Loli Lover]

I wonder if I can get any area around my town horribly imported into hammer through G.Maps

[Magman77]

To be honest I just used a combination of google earth and 3DF Zephyr Free, then used blender for simplifying/trimming/importing the model

[dlight]

Yo. It's a kinda bummer google maps can't be ripped directly. Even tho it is a cube chunk design (like minecraft) the data is all over the place. A really bad renderer.

[TheMrFailz]

Are you my twin? I was doing literally the same exact setup except my triple monitor setup is all 17" 'rs.

[Waffles]

this reminds me that theres a blender addon on github thats perfect for importing location data: BlenderGIS

[Knifey]

What are the source for these custom textures? I use Quixel megascans but even these look a lot better. Would like to use a couple of these for my upcoming map.

[Stiffy360]

Quixel megascans using a bit of quixel mixer + my own stuff

[Leigh]

I'm flattered! Thank you! I have plans to make it like just a street with a little park!
