That's great of you to do but I knew it would be way too powerful from the amount of green. [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1099167284451163392/F4CE4C3D766DD57E7A12CED3807DD7AC470CA0C5/[/img] The pattern is nice though, it just needs to be toned down. And EP2 needs to allow a flowmap shader so my island won't look so unnatural.

[QUOTE=Cosine;42307924][t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37624951/brandenburg/wwii.jpg[/t] Not 100% satisfied, but then again, my history teacher isn't exactly a mapper. It's "good enough."[/QUOTE] I scrolled by a little too fast and honestly thought it was a real picture first. Nice job!

[QUOTE=Legend286;42325383]$refractamount[/QUOTE] Yeah, iirc you can also change the bump amount in VTFedit, aside from the refract var above. [t]http://static.glitchvid.com/facepunch/mapping/content/release/animmap/samp/wateranimap.png[/t]

Does this look a-okay for the start of a bombsite for a Counter-Strike map? [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/882994502358100037/D5D86F34A6F8B5A2265E9A197894C96B95C9A6AF/[/t]

Looks a bit open the site itself. But it's a nice start.

Excellent practice though.

[editline]27th September 2013[/editline] Don't take this as an insult! I'm not calling you out, I'm just commenting on counter strike maps in general. Your map looks like a great start to a counter strike map, as you said you're making it.

Since a lot of people on older engine branches don't have flowmap support, I made a version of the texture that visibly flows south (if you need it to flow elsewhere, just rotate the material in hammer).

There's supposed to be an Abrams M1 tank in there too but apparently it couldn't be used as a static prop so you'll be seeing that one later.

Not sure if this is the right place, but I don't think it would really fit anywhere else. I've been trying out Terragen 2 for skybox creation and every image renders properly except for one, which is the top one. It appears the image doesn't fully render; there are black parts in the corners. What do I do? Here's an image: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ziiv86v164b5g5b/holp.bmp[/t] I'm following this tutorial: [url]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Skyboxes_with_Terragen_2[/url] Again, I apologise if this isn't the correct thread, but I guess skybox creation is more of a mapper's topic than a modeller's.

At 5 and above you start seeing foam and waves too big to be represented on a 2D surface. It's not worth trying to go past 4, as the results will be less than convincing. [img_thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/848077718594681400/F278E60A6C7FF6D9B3DB37A4ED186F65FDF39703/[/img_thumb] I found that keeping it low-key gets the best results. In terms of lowering the normal map strength, I do not think it would produce convincing results, as the normal map pattern is that of intense winds.

Tweaked the curve at the back so it looks right, redone the bow since it was way too pointy before, and added some colour. Cannons are redone entirely, and a friend has started making various detail props to pretty this up. Going to start working on the belowdecks until I get some better textures to compile all the new cannons/lanterns/etc then I'll post some pictures of it textured up properly with decent models.

Try either "$reflectamount" "0.30" (lower this for less bump) or $flow_bumpstrength 0.75 (I think this only works on flowmapped water, but give it a try) In any event, rendering a lower intensity version anyway.

I already tried that, lowered it down to ".1", anyways I'll try and figure out how to render something like this. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/848077718594681400/F278E60A6C7FF6D9B3DB37A4ED186F65FDF39703/[/t] How did you make your's glitchvid?

Opened up hammer in quite some time to see what I can do, I've got rid of the exterior walkways for my yacht as I thought they didn't look good and wouldn't probably work out to well from a game-play perspective. I'm finding that designing a yacht as a level is just very challenging. This is still in EP2 engine, I am considering going with CS:GO.

Currently working on a spooky themed Slide map for TF2. I plan to have it finished before Halloween.

I have not compiled cubemaps as of yet. I plan to gradually make it more and more nightmareish as you slide through it until you end up in basically a nightmare world with incredibly difficult challenges.

I really like the shadows in GO, the edges look crisp. [t]http://i.imgur.com/GmvLUu8.jpg[/t] But yeah I'm probably never going to touch this again...

are models in CS:GO lit per-pixel or is it the same crappy per-vertex lighting?
