gm_norad [Gmod/SFM] - Developers

gm_norad is a visually impressive stage map that was designed for a Saxxy 14 entry. Included in the download is a large interior room for a massive office like futuristic environment. Also in the pack is a set of furniture to populate the environment. For SFM users, the included norad_release.dmx has the entire environment fully lit and populated in a starter scene. It also features fully working cubemaps!

Why is the upper office sealed off?[/b] A: It was designed as essentially a movie set, there was no need to make anything functional. The upper office had an elevator placed as props to fill out the scene. Q: [b]Why is it so dark?[/b] A: Most of the lighting is designed to be dynamic lighting. Place some lamps. It'll look better anyway. Q: [b]Why can't I move the guys in the desks?[/b] A: They don't have physics. Use a bone manipulator tool. Q: [b]This is cool, can I use it in my movie/screenshot/RP/whatever?[/b] A: Yes. This is why I released it in the first place. Q: [b]Can I mod this/use stuff from this in my map/mod?[/b] A: Teah, go nuts. Below is the vmf, go nuts. Just give credit where credit is due. Q: [b]Why does the map [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21161113/mapping/gm_norad0007.jpg]look like this[/url]?[/b] A: This map is HDR only, and you're likely not running gmod in DX9. It's a persistent problem that happens with a small minority of users, nothing that I can fix. It's the game that's broken.[/quote] Download: [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=328519923]Gmod Workshop[/url] [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=328604083]SFM Workshop[/url] - Includes DMX with fully populated and lit environment Direct Download: [url=http://••••••••gm_norad]Onedrive[/url] - [url=https://sfmlab.com/item/227/]SFMLab[/url] - Includes dmx, as well as bsp packed data as seperate files for scenebuilds.

amazing

Impressive work once again mate!

And he pulls another one out of the bag and it's fucking gorgeous.

I like everything except the citadel floor tiles. Everything is so clean, then those are placed there... Imo, that texture without the tile pattern would be better.

Why don't you upload its VMF if you don't mind people decompiling and expanding on it?

[QUOTE=Magman77;46274595]Why don't you upload its VMF if you don't mind people decompiling and expanding on it?[/QUOTE] Okay, done. It's a really simple vmf, like it was close to the limits for the 20 brush challenge :v: I also added an alternate link for the direct download, c/o SFMLab.
