[QUOTE=tu4pac;44967283]building from google street view:[URL]https://www.instantstreetview.com/2j2b0iz1w1q0sz248ztez0[/URL] [/QUOTE] It looks excellent, but I can't help but feel like it's incredibly flat. When you first showed this I thought I was just looking at a bunch of texture work honestly, it's kind of weird. Maybe it's just JPG being crap or maybe things should be recessed or jutting out just a little bit more.

[QUOTE=tu4pac;44967283]building from google street view:[url]https://www.instantstreetview.com/2j2b0iz1w1q0sz248ztez0[/url][/quote] I think the brick arches around the windows should be properly aligned, maybe use a custom texture for that? Something like this: [IMG]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7147/6495315791_93de09686a.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Azzator;44967150]also is it bad if i scale down these buildings to skybox size without turning them into models? and if i do, will it mess up the lighting?[/QUOTE] If you do scale them down, make sure all dimensions are multiples of 16, otherwise you'll get offgrid vertices. You might get odd shadows, but that can either be ignored or fixed by changing the lightmap size.

[QUOTE=TheHatter;44968443]Can you *please* tell me what brick texture that is[/QUOTE] Looks to me to be [i]embassy_a_brickwall_01a[/i].

[QUOTE=TheHatter;44968443]Can you *please* tell me what brick texture that is[/QUOTE] first one is embassy_a_brickwall_01a and the second is from real world textures brick_1_16

So I added some more details to the house, like fixing the windows and the like [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/D7EWr.jpg[/IMG] I also added more details to the garage [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/PeP4M.jpg[/IMG]

My first try at mapping. Almost a year of learning well spent. [T]http://i.imgur.com/fPNiwU7.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/iWCARPD.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/VvI61uW.jpg[/T] What do you guys think? I might also tone down the lighting in the storage area. Looks to bright for me.

In screenshot one, the tiles seem to be floating. Also, in screenshot three, the windows appear opaque but look like light comes through them

i know people complain about my maps being dark but god damn

facepunch's white layout really doesn't help

[QUOTE=Hell-met;44973659]facepunch's white layout really doesn't help[/QUOTE] I have my monitor calibrated to pick up on very subtle changes in darkness, that room is just plain dark.

Im a brownie

[QUOTE=Falkok15;44968976]This is the Interloper part with the Tentacles after the Gargantua right?[/QUOTE] Actually, no. It's a remake of a HL1 DM map xen_dm, that was shipped along with some game patch on a CD

[img]http://puu.sh/9bypF/7a434b0e6b.gif[/img] Some of you might recognize this. Some of you might have massive strokes of nostalgia. Some part of me wants to believe I'll finish this for Source. And the rest.

The Spiral texture is great looking.

Replaced some textures, added more lamps and dustmotes. [T]http://i.imgur.com/yMccoQm.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/ERmdFnr.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/osGd5Vy.jpg[/T]
