You could try an make some air con units, if they are on roofs and high up on buildings they don't need to be mega hi res and high poly. You could grab a texture from online and use propper to make a rudimentry air con piece. You may want to look into getting a modeller.

Or Propper. Or 3DS Max.

Even though 3DS Max is daunting at first glance, it's extremely useful once you get the hang of it.

[Giraffen93]

i've made some simple shit stuff with 3ds max but i'm really not into learning it, as i'm never gonna get so good with it so that i can make everything myself

[QUOTE=hiyougami;43454575]Yeah, it leaks around quite a bit. I'll see if I can fix it, I think I know what's going on.
Update: Step 2 is defining the zones of each room.

So I was shown this cool lightmap editing tool over on TF2maps (It's a bit old though)

It's rather interesting and I'd thought I'd share.

It's old in the fact that the reason it was created has largely been fixed on valves end, but it does still work, in fact I used it quite recently.

Anyone ever wondered the accuracy of shadows in the Source engine?

I just bought a new ceiling fan which looks very similar to the fan model which is originally made in Counter-Strike: Source

Here is a earlier screenshot which I made:

(The blades didn't get any shadows drawn because those were moving)
And here's a real life comparison

Pretty happy with how the textures turned out, still not sure about the lighting though. Any comments would be well appreciated.

[Peter Brev]

Is this kind of a horror theme?

There's bunkbeds with room for 4 and only 1 dresser? Also why are there bunkbeds?

I just watched Silent Hill: Revelation today. It was "okay"...

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;43460739]I think he added light bounce boost in his material file[/QUOTE]

Partially, it's mainly tonemapping and just a particular balance of sun vs ambient light brightness.
The trick is to invite some really bright light (sunlight) into a really dark place (lightless interior), and its entrance is via a really reflective surface (bright texture, perhaps with high saturation value).
Only after checking you're inviting the light into the area in this way should you then start to think about $reflectivity changes inside your VMT.

Google Hangout with someone who knows 3ds Max inside out and you will learn more in half an hour than you thought you could in a month. Also, everyone in this thread should read [URL="http://waitbutwhy.com/2013/10/why-procrastinators-procrastinate.html"][B]these two short articles on procrastination[/B] and why we do it and how we can, like, [B]not do it anymore[/B].[/URL]

[QUOTE=WitheredGryphon;43476508]There's bunkbeds with room for 4 and only 1 dresser? Also why are there bunkbeds?[/QUOTE]

Because Source has shitty bed models. If the collab lets us use L4D2 models I'll add some actual beds.

probably, but it'd be a waste since this is the only time i've needed modeling and learning it just for this isn't really worth it

how did you even find it? :v:

Alright, just you might be at a big loss when Source 2 comes out :c

[QUOTE=hiyougami;43484128]Alright, just you might be at a big loss when Source 2 comes out :c[/QUOTE]

that might be true, but i'm a very slow learner and spending years on modeling probably isn't worth it in the long run

[Fulcrum]

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;43484172]that might be true, but i'm a very slow learner and spending years on modeling probably isn't worth it in the long run[/QUOTE]

I know exactly how you feel. Modelling just seems so complicated. I know if I am to keep mapping I need to learn but but I just can't motivate myself to do so. I haven't mapped properly in over 2 years now.
