[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;43498395]Nice but make them abit less homogenous. Slight slants, wall bulges, beams sticking out. Irregularities. They look nice but being so clean makes them look too modern.[/QUOTE] Shouldn't that be the opposite? :v: In the map they aren't hundreads of years old, like the ones what have survived until today. [editline]11th January 2014[/editline] You should make some wealthier houses too. And add some variation to those houses via textures.

Well heres my first attempt at mapping something: [t]http://i.imgur.com/QYc4J29.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Hd8Ofjy.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/TzqCJoA.jpg[/t] It's obviously not supposed to be anything just practice. [editline]11th January 2014[/editline] dat aliasing [editline]11th January 2014[/editline] The lighting is horrible I know....

Started making some custom models for the Home Alone house. [thumb]http://s20.postimg.org/ibdnxzti5/2014_01_11_00002.jpg[/thumb]

[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;43500913]You have some smoothing errors by the looks of it[/QUOTE] Yeah, I was wondering why it looked odd. I just wanted to get it in game for scale tests.

[QUOTE=oskutin;43499894]You should make some wealthier houses too. And add some variation to those houses via textures.[/QUOTE] Those are the wealthier houses :v: I do have some poor houses planned however.

[editline]11th January 2014[/editline] You should make some wealthier houses too. And add some variation to those houses via textures.[/QUOTE] A good observation but tools weren't up to our standard then, joints wouldn't fit perfect and would settle over time, plaster would go damp and bulge, wood wouldn't be cut as neatly. Most importantly people expect to see imperfection in medieval houses, if you give people something they don't expect they will scrutinise it, revealing any other imperfections.

Oh that's just a plain coloured texture I made.

I wanted to mess around and practice my architecture some more: [t]http://i.imgur.com/3bbin7V.jpg[/t] How is it for a beginner? I don't really know what else to add to this map other then more structures, but I want to continue this one map.

Hey guys, I need your help here. I am getting a bunch of ideas in my head for a mod I might be making later. But I'm kind of low on ideas. It is going to be starting in an underground area that have been taken over by the combine, or "Combinified", as I'd like to call it. And there's also going to be a city that has been been overgrown by plants, but still with some Humans inside of it, making some smaller fortresses. And then ofcourse some foresty places. But I still want to make the city to stand out a lot, and not look too much like City 17. So what I wanted help with is mostly just ideas for models and such. Stuff like Combine machinery. And stuff like it. And later on, when I actually get around to MAKING the mod, I would ofcourse need some people to help me make it. So I would appreciate that help too. But yeah, mostly. Hit me with your IDEAS. Maybe you've got an idea for some sort of nice NPC? That's it for now! :)

[QUOTE=ThePhailed;43502752] But yeah, mostly. Hit me with your IDEAS. Maybe you've got an idea for some sort of nice NPC?

Though this thread is lots of chatter it is first and foremost a thread for map pimpage, showing what you have got. Make a thread. edit: I'll pm you with some ideas

I forgot to state that. But I'm just trying to get some ideas for maps and such. And stuff to put in my map. Idk, maybe I'm just desperate :v:

[t]http://i.imgur.com/KIjj36r.jpg[/t] i think this area is pretty much done

Where do you guys get your custom props or do you make them all? Are there any prop packs? I used to have a sim's texture and prop pack but can't find where I downloaded them.

Finally released a tf2 map after dicking around with hammer for the last 3 years. Thoughts?

Needs a 3D skybox.

[QUOTE=AtomicKirb;43504363]Finally released a tf2 map after dicking around with hammer for the last 3 years. Thoughts? ][/QUOTE] This final area looks a big lacking in the detail department. Perhaps take a tour of the stock maps and take a look at flavor prop placement. Some un-accessible flavor rooms would be nice too. That Red Spawn Room the second picture has some good brush work on the building.

[t]http://puu.sh/6hWKL.jpg[/t] This is a WIP of my second ever map and I just felt like making myself a nice little clean city -- similar to that of Mirror's Edge. Any tips on how to make the lighting more exciting/develop further upon this? I'm avoiding adding proper textures mostly due to the vast amount of effort required to obtain the required amount of suitable looking ones. Keep in mind there's a WHOLE lot of space left to fill and all of this is subject to change.
