somehow that prison thing reminds me of Painkiller

Try placing a block light to align with the window texture / model?

Wouldn't it be cool to take a map like that, build it, take a screenshot, then build it again but change the sun angle by one degree, then building it again and taking a screenshot. Just a proof of concept, would probably look pretty cool.

Been sitting on this map for awhile, finally got Windows Movie Maker to start so I put this video together. Thought I'd post it here since I haven't posted in forever. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCyrIzzqvUU[/media] Thoughts and stuff!

Thoughts and stuff![/QUOTE] I love the water effects. The water running down the walls, the textures look wet and the atmosphere was spot on. Great work! [B]Edit[/B] My upcoming Portal map. This map is actually a year old as it was suppose to be a map for Tornate. [thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16218991/pti_a479_tornate-m40015.jpg[/thumb]

Videos like this are the reason I regularly visit this thread, so much more powerful than pictures. How did you do those water dripping effects? Also seems like a perfect recreation of the 'real' area.

Also, more WIP stuff: [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/900998846204095329/1CB4369BEF54AE290424004BD8C1D8096ED2102C/[/img] [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/900998846204087971/407D6B923B05477D8111857C4F8C4EBC1DE95858/[/img] Forgot to enable AA, oh well.

Just can't keep secret anymore, [img]http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z105/sporkfire222/yacht400006_zps429df287.jpg[/img] [img]http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z105/sporkfire222/yacht410008_zps635bb044.jpg[/img] The yacht has 4 decks all of which are completely explore-able, but I don't want to reveal too much just yet. I like to surprise people

Make it a TTT map.

That's exactly what I'm doing actually, I don't know if people will bother hosting it though. There will be a massive amount of custom content.

[QUOTE=Lamar;40955257]That's exactly what I'm doing actually, I don't know if people will bother hosting it though. There will be a massive amount of custom content.[/QUOTE] Isn't steam pipe suppose to do something about that?

I don't know what steam pipe is or what it would do.

the compression for workshop is great-- people would definitely sacrifice space for a TTT map like that

[QUOTE=GameDev;40956375]the compression for workshop is great-- people would definitely sacrifice space for a TTT map like that[/QUOTE] But regardless won't server owners want a map that their players can download very quickly? I'm not familiar with how workshop works though.

[img]http://puu.sh/3bjD2.jpg[/img] It's not much, but I like the way the atmosphere came out. It's an armory for an older project I'm picking back up.

[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16349584/posterbuilding.png[/t] I lit it in SFM because I am anal about having shadows.

[QUOTE=GameDev;40953997]Original Image?[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://worldofleveldesign.com/categories/level_design_tutorials/100_level_design_ideas/images/backalleys.jpg[/IMG] As you can see, this image doesn't really match the in-game shot : sometimes I'll only take some elements (here, the road and the bar) to create something else ^^ What got me inspired for the sea ? I don't really know ... I did play Lost Coast some days ago ;)

[QUOTE=GameDev;40956375]the compression for workshop is great-- people would definitely sacrifice space for a TTT map like that[/QUOTE] Does workshop compress after something is uploaded? Because when I tried archiving a map with garry's gma tool, it didn't compress at all.

[QUOTE=:smugspike:;40960434]Having not used SFM, what sort of lighting options do you have? Are they projected or is there a bake process?[/QUOTE] They are projected. It's basically a env_projectedtexture afaik but you are limited to 8 lights that can cast shadows, but you can have like 10 or whatever amount of lights that you want as long as they don't cast shadows. Basically in this shot, I have 6 (going to be 7) lights that have shadows enabled and 4 lights on the exterior of the map with shadows disabled to "fake" the light bounce.

Changed the lighting on the environment and I'm playing with lightmaps. [img]http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z105/sporkfire222/yacht420005_zpsa634baa9.jpg[/img] Tell me what you think, what you would like to see and where the biggest improvements are to be made.

They look kinda odd.
