[QUOTE=Lebofly;39871623]sounds long and painful...[/QUOTE] yeah it's what i did. It's not long, but it's painful to optimize. It takes a definite dip in FPS. Definitely not a good way to do grass but Source's detail sprites are shitty so it's the only way to properly do true grass.

You aren't limited to tiny detailsprites sheets anymore. You can have a 2048x2048 one if you wish. The only difference is the 64000 detailsprites limit and the fact it's cpu based, which is why the Dear Esther team changed some engine code to make detailsprites GPU based. The current version of source is simply not made for this, but detailsprites will still be a less expensive solution than doing this. [URL]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1242856[/URL] for instance is not too ugly as long as you adjust the density to fit in your map. It's just a matter of making some good textures.

[QUOTE=Lebofly;39872037]Would it be possible to make a detail sprite that looks almost as identical as his screenshot?[/QUOTE] If i took a piece of the grass texture for the CSGO grass model, likely.

[QUOTE=Lebofly;39872037]Would it be possible to make a detail sprite that looks almost as identical as his screenshot?[/QUOTE] It's only a question of texture as Madda pointed out, and the lighting wouldn't be very different.

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;39872418]would be good as a func_tracktrain passing over something in the distance.[/QUOTE] I'm going to try to make it a physbox and tie it to a bunch of console commands and phys_thrusters to make it a usable vehicle. Also since it's a brush I can't use lighting, luckily my game is cartoon themed and won't deter the visual fidelity I am hoping.

But knowing Source and Hammer something will fuck up along the way.

Speaking of brushwork. Made a WW2 style anti aircraft cannon, no specific model, just having fun with it. [QUOTE][IMG]http://www.filedump.net/dumped/20130311000011363001767.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] If any of you want it, let me know.

[QUOTE=kaine123;39877765]You should learn how to use a 3D Modelling program.[/QUOTE] I really need to but all the interfaces for the programs I've used are pretty daunting. I will be trying again soon though.

Hey, I'm back Been way too long, mapper's block was starting to get hot Anyone remember that Rp town I tried making a few months back?

Nearly every time I post it's like 3 posts away from a new page.

WIP of my new map for our dods sniper server: (Please ignore the shitty 3D skybox :v:) [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/GLLsxpo.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/t2VaUNu.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/TB3VVo2.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/dKrTMMr.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/HnjXav4.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/vgXPqWR.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/lo3Ve06.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/EizWgd3.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/FN2qgrU.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/lWhFj6E.jpg[/IMG_THUMB]

Looks really good. Is that snow on the rooves of those buildings in the last image? If so, why is there no snow anywhere else?

Like I said just ignore the 3D Skybox. It's all just a placeholder for the time being as it's pretty low on my todo list.

[QUOTE=eichhornch;39880387]Like I said just ignore the 3D Skybox. It's all just a placeholder for the time being as it's pretty low on my todo list.[/QUOTE] Ah, I thought you meant the skybox texture itself.

[QUOTE=eichhornch;39880102][IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/t2VaUNu.jpg[/IMG_THUMB][/QUOTE] Is that a DOD:S detail sprite?

[QUOTE=eichhornch;39880102]WIP of my new map for our dods sniper server: (Please ignore the shitty 3D skybox :v:) [/QUOTE]I love how open it feels.

[QUOTE=GameDev;39880527]Is that a DOD:S detail sprite?[/QUOTE] Nope they are from a mod called Resistance and Liberation.

Lol seems like no one in this thread uses standard detail sprites or sprites at all.

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;39880662]Lol seems like no one in this thread uses standard detail sprites or sprites at all.[/QUOTE] I just keep forgetting about 'em

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;39880662]Lol seems like no one in this thread uses standard detail sprites or sprites at all.[/QUOTE] because they're ugly

Another WIP vsh map i've been working on, trying something different but I can't make my mind up on the lighting, wondering if people can help me out by rating it.

That's what I think you meant. Purple just looks weird, even if it does catch the eye. You have to think about why there'd be purple when it's orange and brown outside.
