I would also consider making actual skins for the containers instead of just using the coloring option.[/QUOTE]

It's pretty silly Valve didn't improve the coloring with containers, colored containers are used all through Left 4 Dead and never did they once add something like the color-able cars in Left 4 Dead.

The improvement isn't significant but I now have a level layout and theme. Also the wind chimes took a long while to make.

Do they move and make noise? Would be beautifully atmospheric if they did.

just a pretty early rundown of my csgo map de_shock. still need to do some more stuff at the underground area and the CT entrance to the underground. what do you guys think so far?

In short, yes.
I started by making the wind chimes prefab (so I can place multiple instances in a level and not worry about them). I then made an env_wind that, every so often, causes a gust of wind. Every time this happens, it briefly activates a trigger_push that encapsulates an instance of the chimes, causing them to move, as though in the wind. It also causes each instance of the wind chimes to play a sound.

In other news I don't know how to make good WebMs.

Haven't done anything in Hammer for ~1 year (maybe less), but today I saw information about dev branch update for Garry's mod and decided to try built-in hammer. Just like old times.
This is my small warm-up in brushwork. I was inspired by soviet constructivism in architecture.

Everyone was posting stuff they did last year, so I figured I should post some things just to show that I actually even opened a source-engine game last year. They were made while I was playing around with some tools and for practice rather than for showing off, but I had fun doing them so I just figured I'd post them anyway.

In order from top to bottom; a texture tileset I was practicing with, an exercise in abusing dispgen (I was listening to an audiobook of Dune at the time), and some stuff I did in blender then moved to source because I was just kinda figuring out how it all worked.

Map is superb, only 2 things:
1. Your lighting is way off. Too saturated yellow and too much bloom. I believe it way way better in your older shots.
2. Send me a PM with the sprite sheet before you broke its transparency.

looks really nice, but having that type of big floor to ceiling window in that type of industrial setting looks a bit off to me. i would change that to make it like this instead.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/p4TO6Zr.jpg?1[/t]

if you still want to have that area open like that for playstrategy purposes, (i assume the glass is breakable(?)) then perhaps you could have some type of open platform elevator going up to the upper corridor from that lower area with the x. no idea if that makes sense in your map, but the window as it is now just stands out a bit to me.

My first 3D Skybox :zoid:

I'm having a bit of issues with my env_cubemaps, they just... aren't really working. at all. Building them just spits out black, blank squares for every cubemap

And yes, I do have env_cubemap entities in the map, and mat_specular is 1

[Papkee]

I believe that's an error with how hammer compiles in the latest version. Use pakrat and delete everything labled as a texture and save the bsp, then build your cubemaps again. I was having the same problem and that's what fixed it for me.

I see you reskinned the skybox from No Mercy in L4D, but the material coordinates don't match up well enough IMO, plus it's too yellow for the main play area. (I don't blame you either, it can be an ordeal making satellite-based textures look good on a custom surface). The rest of the map looks stunning so far though, I love it.

Anyways, I'm gonna donate a skybox model I never had an opportunity to use after I handmade it, you can try it out and let me know if it fits better:

I really like how imposing those skyscrapers look over the rest of the map, and the skybridges help draw your attention upwards while integrating them into the scene. (Plus, they just look cool.)

And as far as the cubemap generation goes, Valve broke it with the Steampipe update and never fixed it (like they do with most stuff that doesn't have to do with hats. :v: )
When you use buildcubemaps now, it can't actually write anything because maps by default compile with "blank" textures replacing literally ALL of the cubemaps embedded in the .bsp. You now have to open the .bsp manually with something like Pakrat or VIDE, delete all the blank cubemap textures, then rebuild your cubemaps ingame and they should show up on the next reload.

This is technically cheating because its a 3ds max render, but the plan is to bring it into source as a main menu for a mod. I guess some content wont hurt.

[t]http://s15.postimg.org/xi92rolbf/preview.jpg[/t]
Its obviously very conceptual, but you get the idea. Every plane will spin in its own way to achieve a clockwork effect. The 3 big squares are landmarks that I haven't finished yet.

If you can guess the city this is loosely based off of, you're good at reading signs

[paulisdead18]

The sign in the top left... You should make that a decal or overlay instead of a 1 unit thin brush with all but one side a nodraw texture. If the rest are like that, you should to the same for those too.

I actually haven't changed the lighting since that compile - what you're seeing is probably the yellow added to the map from the new areas and the 3d skybox. Shot you a PM, like I said in it I think the problem is with how my VBSP crops detail sprites.

Thanks! That's gonna help me out a lot, weirdly enough I was remembering pictures you posted of exactly this a long time ago when I was making the current skybox. I'll put you both in the credits room :v:.

EDIT:
This is weird, but whenever I try to use your model in my map, it crashes hammer with the message "too many verts for a dynamic vertex buffer", even in a completely empty VMF. The only things google came up with were in-game errors. I might have to stick with the old model, but thanks.

Looks nice but I would look for a replacement for that van model it's distinct looking which makes it easy to spot when you use it more then once in that space.
