[QUOTE=GoldPlatinum;45388723]relaxing/shootign contest. Also make those leaves non solid[/QUOTE]
You are a winner!
I already made the leaves func_illusionaries.
What's the best way to create a relatively nice-looking inside-skybox cliff? I'm considering using digital elevation models because the VDC shows them being imported in to Source but I'm not sure
[QUOTE=geogzm;45388778]Reading on the entity, where abouts would you recommend? It seems like a risky entity to use[/QUOTE]
For current test purposes using a func_viscluster on the entire level just solves compile times, or you could just go with a fast compile if you don't want to use a cluster. When you get into optimizing the final layout that's when you can remove the viscluster.

just gonna stop posting, i can't fix this[/QUOTE]
Put a park maybe? :/
[QUOTE=Ragref;45390105]Put a park maybe? :/[/QUOTE]
it's very small unfortunately, wouldn't really fit a park in there, like the other dozen patches of grass i have everywhere

I would say to use that method, either by making a model, or using displacements for it.

inspired by one of the dubai skyscrapers if anyone is wondering
So I don't come here often, and I don't map often, so don't laugh at me.
Showcased this in the SFM Resources thread, but seeing as the forum is now hidden, it doesn't get much traffic.
Would like some opinions and feedback.

Idea is for it to be a mansion interior, but not in the TF2 style. Built for Source Filmmaker, should work in Garry's Mod and such as well, though. However, the map is disjointed, for use in cinematics and shots and such. I'm terrible at making decent floorplans, and am terrible at making varied and interesting hallways, so I want to minimize both of those.
I also intend to add a gold trim in the dining room, where the curved ceiling meets the straight vertical. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Oh, and the skybox is very, very temporary. [b]Very[/b], very, temporary.
Been working on that rp map some more. The second building now has a full interior (except for some of the ground floor. Still working on that). I plan to redo the left buildings interior to be a pub/bar/boozehole.

This was one of my very very old maps (from 2011) that I was working on, it had a corner part, though not with another side to it. This is what I done:

Stop saying you can't do it, because you can! Anything can be accomplished, you just need to use your imagination. :smile:

easy for you to say :v:
it's all empty in my head, i can't think of anything
i've never gotten better in the architecture part of mapping, don't really know how to get better
i get amazed by everything involving houses in this thread, everything.

that door's looking pretty lonely, maybe it could be recessed or something?

Well at least you've got a healthy attitude.

Make it a big storage thingy full of containers and liquid tanks
[QUOTE=LVL FACTORY;45396930]Make it a big storage thingy full of containers and liquid tanks[/QUOTE]
i do appreciate people trying to help, but i don't even know how to make all this stuff
the only things i can make are square buildings and flat roads
all the buildings on the whole map are just square with like 1 texture on them
i've never gotten further in learning for some reason
can you guess what i'm working on?

@Giraffen93: You need to start other projects. Set that one aside for now and work on something new. It took me 4 years to get to where I am today with my city map. In those 4 years, I've made over a dozen different maps to sharpen my skills.

i've made my fair share of maps (many hundreds), can't even come up with new stuff anymore
i'm pretty burnt out in general, can't do much about it though
i'm just gonna stop mapping, it's not for me, not improving.

Make a cylinder brush, texture it metal, and then use the arch tool to make a railling around the top. BOOSH Instant industrial tank. Put some near the road and leave the rest of the area nodrawed to save compiling time. Maybe throw in a prop water tower for some texture to your skyline.

Giving up isn't going to help you improve, that's for sure.

I won't. Bye.

wow you're rude. This is a thread for showing off maps, chatting about them and getting critiques on them.
I think this is the largest map I've made :v
