I wish there was a way to make the cornors and edges on brushes in hammer a bit more smooth or whatever. They look so pointy right now.

The second solution is to use models but that would produce shitty lighting. Therefore the compromise is this.

So you're telling me theres a way to have them less sharp without using models? :o

[QUOTE=Yanzl;40597798]Phongy roads. -phonge roads, detail sprites-[/QUOTE] This is a really nice scene you've done here. Is the material you're using is a blend between two textures with different detail sprites in them, or is the surface all one material with some fancy distribution? [editline]10th May 2013[/editline] It really makes me want to fuck around endlessly with detail sprites, they add such a nice depth to an otherwise boring surface when used correctly.

It's material with 2 different detail sprites. Also, you can download my detailsprites and a bunch of other stuff here: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1267406[/url]

I'll dissect them and learn the rest on my own, thank you very much!

[QUOTE=ThePhailed;40598325]Wait. So you're telling me theres a way to have them less sharp without using models? :o[/QUOTE] You could improve the look with a fitting texture where the outline of the hexagon is normal mapped.

Can anyone tell me where I can find some medieval textures? Probably like the ones in Amnesia or something. Would be really useful :)

The third shot looks pretty swell, but the flat road looks unnatural though.

Made some more with the same style as the other map I posted on the last page. I really like this style, even tho it's so god damn foggy [T]http://i.imgur.com/n6HoVCc.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/ssQrfPY.jpg[/T] [B]EDIT:[/B] Some more :) [T]http://i.imgur.com/vIuzgb3.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/YIsROhx.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/xKMEhZG.jpg[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/VO8lYAj.jpg[/T] [B]ANOTHER EDIT:[/B] Here's 1 without the fog. I dont know if I like it more than the over fogged one. I'll probably just reduce fog a lot. [T]http://i.imgur.com/Qfc1ZHd.jpg[/T]

[T]http://i.imgur.com/Qfc1ZHd.jpg[/T][/QUOTE] The fog clipping with the walls kind of ruins maps like that in source imo. You could try instead only making it appear near the center of the areas to help eliminate the clipping, and use source's fog for the main load. You could also use an almost entirely transparent gradient texture in a few places to create some fake volumetrics, or make it look a bit foggier in certain areas. Also, up the texture scale of that water a smidge.

Also tone down the yellow/orange in the sunlight.

[QUOTE=LATTEH;40600280]looks awesome but i think it needs more contrast from all the black. maybe add some colors or make some of the hexagons white.[/QUOTE] I'm still trying different light values, essentially I need to find the good compromise between visibility and the feelings I'm trying to keep. So far the paths are highlighted like shown in the following screenshot, I might increase the lights intensity in general because like you said it's still a bit difficult to see what's going on right now.

Now making map for an old friend, like "Caste in the sky".

[QUOTE=nicoreda;40611394]Now making map for an old friend, like "Caste in the sky".[/QUOTE] Okay good go make it man.

[QUOTE=nicoreda;40611394]Now making map for an old friend, like "Caste in the sky".[/QUOTE] From the Hayao Miyazki film? I attempted a thing like that once. It actually didn't look too bad.

[QUOTE=aleksas17;40609463]Changing the airport that i did before. [/QUOTE] Where's that texture from? The anime girl I mean.

Are all those Airport textures in CS:GO? I'm considering grabbing it just for the engine.
