Got a blast of inspiration and started working on a motel, here's one of the various rooms because the exterior is long from finished yet.

[QUOTE=Onepu;44246416]The lighting in the second picture seems a bit dull, lacks a bit of darkness maybe. Otherwise, the geometry seems good so far, maybe bigger windows though, I thought at first it was a basement.[/QUOTE] Looking any better? [thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/ejckMf.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/qN7aQG.jpg[/thumb] I'll have to add that threshold you're talking about between the concrete and grass.

Been busy, cant find enough suitable props so it feels a bit bare still. Road is gonna be changed eventually but not important at the moment. [thumb]http://oi59.tinypic.com/opbxpz.jpg[/thumb]

[QUOTE=mathias123961;44225010]I guess a tutorial from the maker of the tools he used would fit quite well? He shows how to randomly scatter a model at about the 24 minute mark, but I would suggest watching the whole video and see what you can do with it.

[QUOTE=GameDev;44222829]Would you be able to document your process? I'm interested in experimenting with this.[/QUOTE] Obviously have 3dsmax and wallworm already installed. Select the displacements on you map that you want to use for detail sprites, and paste special into a new .vmf file. (This is just easier to work with, because wallworm doesn't always show textures correct anyways) In 3dsmax go to wallworm>importer>import vmf file From there you chose vmf to import, once its imported it, you should select the displacements that you want to use to generate your models. Since I don't want to generate all the models at once, because its a big map, and 3ds max doesn't like all those polygons, I make them in patches, You have to find which one you like. Go to wallworm>import vbsp file Browse for your detail.vbsp and your detail.vmt, then hit parse and Import. It should add the texture to the preview window on the left. Afterwords select the Sprites, and export selected. I only export selected because WallWorm doesn't have write access for whatever reason, even though I'm admin, ect... (probably avast) Compile the model and place it into your map.

Anyways, I like how there is a lane on either side of your roads, they look like its for parallel parking. EDIT: maybe make the intersection brick? I think it would look nice

Just going to have it as plain concrete that matches the roads and make some decals for road arrows and stuff. Really quick example: [img]http://i60.tinypic.com/w8ssbq.jpg[/img]

Looks really nice so far, glad you removed the other lanes. Parallel parking is neat when it's with a server full of people.

Fellows, can you give me some advices and tips with the layout routes ? Any additional connections can be made ? [t]http://i.imgur.com/ETGJfpY.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/3CNq0Mw.jpg[/t] Some infos: T to A = 11 sec T to A ChokePoint = 8 sec T to A by Office/Stairs = 11 sec T to A by Stairs cutting thru Mid = 12 sec T to A by MID = 10 sec CT to A = 6 sec CT to A ChokePoint = 8 sec T to B "CP" = 9 to 10 sec CT to B "CP" = 10 sec T to MID Awp spot = 2 to 3 sec CT to MID Awp spot = 2 sec T to reach MID = 6 sec CT to reach MID = 3 sec

Run the map with only bots playing for an hour. That should give you a good idea of the balance.

[QUOTE=KnightVista;44252888]Run the map with only bots playing for an hour.

So I need some tips besides AI controlled paths

Hey, I've been wondering how you get your map "all in white" Not textured ( including models )? I honestly think it look better when rendered than the Orange and grey Dev textures.

Anyone know a remote desktop program that works with Hammer? I want to use it when I am away from my main computer, but the few I tried so far don't allow you to move the camera in the 3D view in hammer. It just freaks out and makes you look up and down while spinning, but everything else works. (Sorry off topic, I just thought someone might know)
