[QUOTE=Garrison;40795986]How do you give skyboxes their own fog?[/QUOTE] [url]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Sky_camera[/url]

I haven't touched hammer in ages so today I made this: [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577864380311688099/D9BEBB5B8C2E67239FEF82432BC5E3891F730A80/[/t] Not sure what to do with it though.

Wish I had the motivation to get back into mapping, any idea's on how to get motivated again?

[QUOTE=Hawx;40798492]Wish I had the motivation to get back into mapping, any idea's on how to get motivated again?[/QUOTE] Do level design for a game you have not done for before. IE CS:GO, L4D2, TF2, Portal 2.

[QUOTE=Hawx;40798492]Wish I had the motivation to get back into mapping, any idea's on how to get motivated again?[/QUOTE] Apostrophes are used when showing a contraction or when showing ownership. "John's car runs like shit." is a correct usage of an apostrophe because it's John's car. "Don't make fun of his car." is a correct usage of an apostrophe because it's symbolizing the contraction of 'Do Not'. Apostrophes are NOT used for pluralizing words, EVER. You do it all of the time and your ignorance on the subject is just appalling. As for getting motivated to map again, try watching creative movies and recreating scenes, try mapping areas you've been to in your dreams, or just jump to a random city in Google Maps and get cracking.

I made some progress on my map. recreated the mall buildings, and made a bank.

That's incredible for your first map. I haven't seen that kind of architecture attempted in Source very often, which is weird because it's pretty much exclusive to a lot of modern cities. You really need to put some window frames in there, though. Maybe some sprites for the lights in the ceiling too.

that looks pretty impressive for your first map. [editline]May 27th, 2013[/editline] ninja'd

A Metro: Last Light inspired swamp style scene.. not sure if I am gonna continue on it, or simply start a new one..

That could benefit heavily with some subtle fog and a higher-res skybox.

[QUOTE=EddieLTU;40802318]pics[/QUOTE] It looks like you have a leak or something in your map, because the lighting isn't bouncing to the ceiling.

That cottage looks like you've either a leak or zero-reflectivity floors (because the ceilings are black). Fix itttttttt EDIT: God fucking dammit

[QUOTE=Firegod522;40802697]It looks like you have a leak or something in your map, because the lighting isn't bouncing to the ceiling.[/QUOTE] maybe its caused by cordon, because i used it to seal the map

How could you get a leak if you used cordon?

[QUOTE=Azzator;40799368]Holy shit how do you get such rad looking architecture? It takes me forever before I can settle on a design I like for just [i]one[/i] building.[/QUOTE] Extruding parts of the building (either inward or outward) with good lighting settings makes a big difference, just play with simple tricks on texture sets to get a nice looking "mix"

Making some assets for a mod idea I had. [T]http://i.imgur.com/Cd8upzU.jpg[/T]

You've got the atmosphere prefect but shadows on the moon are very sharp and almost pitch black.

-snip- goddamn wrong thread how does this happen

[thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/13540830642081628378_2013-05-29_00003.png[/thumb] Any ideas how i can make this look better? I'm making an ME map akin to Silversun Strip from the Citadel DLC. Also, if you guys can direct me to some ME/sci-fi themed props, it'd be much appreciated. and before you tell me that the blast door at the distance is actually from Nos Astra, I already know. :v: I might try and port the actual door model/texture from the Citadel itself though. props to HighdefGE for the (amazing) texture ports.

You should use cire992's prop pack, you should find everything you need in it. [url]http://cire992.blogspot.be/2013/05/ports-by-cire992.html[/url] Good luck with your map. I really want to see it finished.

Been a long while since I posted here...

What I recommend you could do is take one of those white high tech doors from Portal 2 and use those.
