[QUOTE=Kahgarak;41605274]This isn't Source, nor is it Goldsrc, but I'd still like to share this map I stumbled upon with you. It's a custom map for the first Quake and holy fuck does it put the engine to good use, it looks absolutely amazing considering the engine's age. I hope it'll inspire you! [video=youtube;ty_UVj3qc00]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty_UVj3qc00[/video][/QUOTE] I really admire maps like this which are made entirely of brushwork. Playing through Unreal Gold inspired a feeling of admiration in me too, the way all that huge geometry is brushwork all the same.

Playing through Unreal Gold inspired a feeling of admiration in me too, the way all that huge geometry is brushwork all the same.[/QUOTE] Agreed, i always like to make everything out from brushes. Its too bad it take so much ressources in source engine. I even model everything from brush but it take so long to compile :(

that's what propper and the export to .dxf/sketchup options are for.

[QUOTE=Kuro.;41608869]that's what propper and the export to .dxf/sketchup options are for.[/QUOTE] Yeah i got crappy problems with propper... Reepblue was helping me a bit for a time but hey, he has his own life/project too. I just got 3ds max. I will learn it and start my own animation and model myself I am still willing to pay for some worksp m me if interested (modeling or animating)

There are also SMD and VMF export plugins available for it.

You should model the letters and sign, make them have very defined collision models so you can slide them around between the slats and shoot them off.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;41610475]I'm afraid that will have to be somebody else's job. I'm no good at modeling. [I]Especially[/I] when it comes to collision modeling.[/QUOTE] Use Propper to make them then. It creates all the collision models and whatnot itself.

If somebody could help me get it working that'd be wonderful. Still am yet to test 0.24 with source sdk base 2006.

[QUOTE=Wigbig;41609166]You should try Google Sketchup if you want to make buildings and architecture as models, it's pretty simple to learn. There are also SMD and VMF export plugins available for it.[/QUOTE] I would strongly suggest not using Sketchup to make brushwork, most of the time everything comes out off the grid and realigning everything is a pain. That said sketchup is awesome for exporting an SMD and importing it into 3DS max for a quick texture unwrap and a few minor alterations before exporting a final smd for compile.

[QUOTE=Proj3ct_ZeRo;41610809]There should be a competition on fp which allows brush only maps, I would be interested to see what would come of it.[/QUOTE] That reminds me, a while back I posted a [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1216336"]Twenty Brush Challenge[/URL]. It'd be neat to have that again. fuck it i'm making a new thread

[QUOTE=Proj3ct_ZeRo;41610809]There should be a competition on fp which allows brush only maps, I would be interested to see what would come of it.[/QUOTE] We had a no models contest a while ago, earlier this year.

Here I got some more Concept work I've been working on. It represent some sort of Import/Export area using Crane to move things in the Loading bay. The loading bay are simply a hole in the ground allowing the container to pass and get charged to a machine then it can get stored.

I will rebuild a similar area in my mod. one of the place you will be able to enter into the Facility from the outside. if you have suggestions, tips or comment about it, feel free to tell me.

Is the crane automated or is it player controlled?

[QUOTE=:smugspike:;41614764]Is the crane automated or is it player controlled?[/QUOTE] Its for portal 2. The crane will be automated for a scene but you will pass near statics one a few times.

Updated shots of the spawns and main area: [img]http://i.solidfiles.net/c9a4b3bfb5.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.solidfiles.net/2603e76105.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.solidfiles.net/5ecbc68822.jpg[/img]

I think I'll make white letters as well so I can cover all three marquee colors.

[QUOTE=chills2;41616133]Updated shots of the spawns and main area[/QUOTE] That's a really clean warehouse floor, you should throw some decals in there.

Cant wait to get the Oculus Rift. Should be shiped in August... As soon I get it, I will be able to work on my portal 2 mod faster. People told me most of the textures look flat mostly decals etc. This id why i may spam models everywhere. Even far away so it do not look flat. I hope i get it soon, I will have many many test to run.

[QUOTE=chills2;41616133]Updated shots of the spawns and main area: [/QUOTE] Floor in the first pic could use some clutter, it's to easy to notice the texture repetition otherwise.

Does p2 have oculus support, or is it actually a mod?
