[QUOTE=Anthracite;44702282][t]http://i.imgur.com/YLTgeNP.jpg[/t] train station wip[/QUOTE] I like the arches and your walls.

Just got Stallone into beta 1 [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12945353/maps/Pacific/Screenshot%202014-05-02%2016.27.41.png[/IMG] If you wanna play it you can get it here, any feedback would be nice. [url]http://forums.tf2maps.net/showpost.php?p=299732&postcount=26[/url]

So much red tone.

It may be a segmented displacement made with a heightmap to displacement generator.

Train station for my city map under construction [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/x0tyqs.jpg[/IMG] It looks incomplete because i'm still working on it, or maybe i'll leave it like that for the lols [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2ugh46c.jpg[/IMG]

To me the rails look either extremely low or the platforms extremely high, almost as tall as one of the NPCs? Might be just the perspective though. And I suppose you said it's placeholder-y.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;44704857]is that an imported terrain model or just really good displacements?[/QUOTE] It's an imported heightmap converted with DispGen, made with L3DT (Large 3D Terrain Generator) with texture, normal and spec maps

[QUOTE=inspirit;44705329][IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2ugh46c.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] The stair design is a little bit redundant. If someone were to walk from one end of the station to the other, they'd have to go up and down 6 sets of stairs for no real reason. It would be better to have the platform (and entrances) raised for the entire length, or only going down at the very ends.

making a map of a pedestrian mall that used to exist. playing around with interesting flooring too.

Everything is misaligned. :(

Might I suggest you build a simple train to test the heights? Don't want you to build a full map and realise the stations are too low or too high

That lil' vmf has been through a lot of broken hard drives. Still not sure what I'm doing with it.

A lot of detail can be done with lighting and good texturework.

[QUOTE=Stiffy360;44712490]Strip down detail of some areas. A lot of detail can be done with lighting and good texturework.[/QUOTE] i don't even put in detail, it's just too many areas pretty much all the buildings are enterable and have interiors

To that end, I'd volunteer to convert appropriate geometry to propper for you and save you the effort. However, if you wouldn't trust me with your .vmf that is understandable.

Be advised they don't prevent leaks or block visiblity though.

What about roofs? some of them look... displacementable? especially the roof detail. But never mind man, it's your choice so I'll stop pushing now.

I suppose. It's only one brush though..

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;44712577]there aren't really any such areas, everything is sealed off properly [t]http://f2.braxupload.se/yudikq.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] One thing I my friend has done before is used instances of other .vmfs in one map and this somehow allowed him to make the map slightly bigger, but not by much.
