i somehow still need to fix the sand/snow blend (i don't know) and downscale the snow texture

I would create a custom blend texture that is 2 different snow textures to breakup the tiling.

I'm pretty happy with this house I made, especially considering that I didn't just copy the design from a random house in Google Maps and actually made it from scratch, for once.

Just edit the mip maps of the diffuse and the normal map so have less contrast. Would work better, snow from a distance looks white, no point in adding extra dark bits to it.

Also if you're going to make a snow m,ap do it properly, add icicles with card lod models, so up close it looks awesome, from a distance its just nice. I'm sure its more than it looks like but currently it just looks like construct with a different ground texture.

[EddieLTU]

ok played with the environment. tweaked the color correction
seems it looks nice, but too dark
also used the snow textures from dod:s

So I like set the lightmap scale to 16 on my gigantic map.

[Skerious]

How much longer did it take to compile with the 16 unit lightmaps?

[Missing User]

Isn't 16 default?

[Stiffy360]

[QUOTE=Skerion;43093989]How much longer did it take to compile with the 16 unit lightmaps?[/QUOTE]

About 20 minutes

[QUOTE=Hellsten;43094028]Isn't 16 default?[/QUOTE]

yes, but I had to raise it otherwise I'd get engine hunk overflow. (not to mention this bsp is 100mb with just LDR) This was just me mucking around.

[Missing User]

Ah ok, btw that's a pretty nice skybox!

Or maybe you're not good at building things in an optimized way.

[EddieLTU]

ok my gm_construct_snow gone public (beta of course)
all it needs, is some beta testing and some feedback

[QUOTE=Armageddon104;43096288]Or maybe you're not good at building things in an optimized way.[/QUOTE]

There's simply too much on the map, i removed the forest and it still gives me that error.
I func_detail every complex geometry, use func_areaportal a [B]lot[/B], and nodraw surfaces that aren't used.

Did some crazy work on that map I was working on.

Front of building (glass will actually cover rooms later on rather than just hanging there):

did you copy those sinks from hl1 black mesa or something

[:smugspike:]

[QUOTE=soldierrob;43103941]is it just me or does the inside look very big[/QUOTE]

The floor layout doesn't seem overly spacious, what you're perceiving is likely the high ceiling space.

[BlueAndGray]

[QUOTE=GoldPlatinum;43104599]did you copy those sinks from hl1 black mesa or something[/QUOTE]

I was too lazy to make models for them :P

I also haven't set up env_cubemaps yet, so the textures without it might be making it look a bit... old I guess?

Stop being lazy and put some effort in there, those sinks really look like they are from 90s

Any tips to make this cave look more better? This cave has nothing to do with realism because of the green glowing fungus haha :D

make those shroom's texture $selfillum, but only the tip (use a mask for that)

Question: In an open snowy forest map, what would be the most ideal way of constricting the player within the playable area, while still feeling/looking realistic (so no painfully obvious invisible walls)?
