[QUOTE=Giraffen93;42853626][t]http://i.imgur.com/VDgnU6z.jpg[/t] eh, this'll have to do[/QUOTE] The way the top bar is cut off at both ends looks pretty odd. I don't think the bar itself is needed, either. I would probably make the texture taller/making the gate shorter to get rid of that. You'd probably be better off making a simple texture edit of that with a curved bar/taller gate "spikes" that go along a curve height-wise if that's what you were going for.

Just plop a bus there or something and fuck the gate.

[QUOTE=hiyougami;42846116]I tried re-creating this and going ham on the lighting but found that style of light to be particularly metal.

Also try making the whole scene darker by tonning down the lights and reduce the self illum factor of the light to make it blend it better in the environment

[QUOTE=redBadger;42855639]Just plop a bus there or something and fuck the gate.[/QUOTE] but you need to open the gate from another map, you can't really rc a bus and i'd need to get a bus model too

[QUOTE=cyclocius;42859577]How do I make lighting...not default compile? I'm currently building a large, swanky villa for a project and wherever the env_light hits a brush it leaves big, square shadows.[/QUOTE] Look into expert compiling, as well as -final. However, -final doesn't increase the quality/clarity of baked shadows, it just bounces light around a lot more than a regular compile. To increase the quality of a shadow, look into lightmaps. Lightmap quality is not affected by -final, only the location/quantity of light.

Yes, I knew that. "It's in cs:go" is the appropriate answer, then.

Thanks! [QUOTE=mdeceiver79;42859989]Look wonderful, how did you make them?[/QUOTE] I made them in Maya. My leaf textures are made from a photo I took of a branch, and I cut it up and assembled bits into new shapes. There are 6 tree variations; here they are in Maya: [URL="http://i.imgur.com/oZd3qaJ.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oZd3qaJl.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Each tree has a card version. The cards were made by taking screenshots of the trees in-game. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/wasNLLO.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wasNLLOl.jpg[/IMG][/URL] On top of that there is a flat "tree line" card texture to use around the skybox. The map I made is a test bed for the prop set. I'm making them for [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1305428"]de_lumber[/URL].

I'm going to need a few trees too, mind sharing up? Ill give you credit

[QUOTE=pac0master;42867580]I'm going to need a few trees too, mind sharing up? Ill give you credit[/QUOTE] They're going to be in de_lumber first. Not thinking about any wider release before the map is done.

Some experimental work compiled with -Final.

So, I started working on this cozy living room. I think I'll extend it and make it into a full house.

[QUOTE=Dr_Spud;42867107]snip[/QUOTE] Thanks for the info, its nice to see stuff like this.

I think I'll extend it and make it into a full house. -snip- What else do you think I should do with this besides add furniture?[/QUOTE] Not sure how I feel about the ramp. I associate such ramps with buildings not made to be inhabited. Ramps are annoying to walk up.

Make the ramp a small staircase instead. Easy fix.

Those trees would look better if they had roots, or some different versions with roots. Just sayin', cause it would bug the hell out of me if I was playing and I noticed.

Ported over some old stuff to CS:GO and been balancing it for awhile now. It's still really rough and dark but it's getting there [t]http://files.1337upload.net/de_corridors0039.jpg[/t] [t]http://files.1337upload.net/de_corridors0034.jpg[/t] [t]http://files.1337upload.net/de_corridors0040.jpg[/t]

I will go on and look more on level design theories. but my main goal is to feel like if this place could be built and stand up in real life. ( not like portal 2 where the whole building is hollow )
