For the past month or so I have been working on this nameless neighborhood.
I've come to facepunch looking for suggestions for further additions/changes to the map, so feel free to post any ideas/opinions you have towards the project!
Some current features:
- 4 Homes
- 2 Pools
- Trees... lots and lots of trees
- A somewhat hidden concrete room meant to serve as a bomb shelter (though I would like to make it into something more reasonable)
- Bridge/tunnel for trains
- Small treehouse
- Sims 2 textures + models! (Thanks to Corey_Faure for this pack. [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1115905"]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1115905[/URL] )
- Custom foliage models (If you know the author of these models, please let me know so I may give them credit.)
Some ideas/plans:
- More buildings up on the cliff behind the two large houses
- More "stuff" inside of the houses
Please leave some suggestions for the map, I still have much to add so feel free to make some major suggestions! (Such as buildings/features that could be added.)
Some known bugs:
- Crashes near the back corner of house#2 (by the bridge/cliff)
- Areas of uneven lighting (lighting does not blend well on some faces)
Pics:

Neat map! I love the waterfall. Put some nifty particle effects on it!
Nice atmosphere. It reminds me of that Alan Wake game, especially the outside screenshots.
Yea, I like that atmosphere that I've set up, but I feel that I could change something about it. Someone suggested that I make this into a day map, opinions?
HOLY SHNIKES you have some pretty good housing design there
Well rounded map but that last pic is just bleh.
Damn, that's beautiful.

Those sofas look really weird compared to the ones in cs_office. I guess it's because I've been so used to the ones on cs_office.
Other than that, this map is some awesome shit.
Your pools are really sexy
I want to play this in ttt
Here are some of decent models for modern map, if you want:

Has in example: foliage props and front door for houses.
Very nice, though I'm sure people are going to be begging for a day version.

Thanks a bunch! Hey, love your maps by the way.

Really can't decide if I like the night time setting or this better:

Also, thanks for the suggestions! I could still use some bigger ideas, however.
You should release both for extra super secret night missions
Oh wow. My body NEEDS this map.
Those are some of the best houses I've seen!
For suggestions... Perhaps the road could have telephone poles, a bridge that traverses a river, and small country houses in rural parts. And I have to say that I like the night version the best. It shows off things like the glow of the porch lights and the lighting in the swimming pools. Absolutely gorgeous work!
That looks pretty cool.
You should use some caustics for the pool.

This map is sex
I liked the night more.
Not sure, but the train tracks seem a bit close to the houses. Tracks might look better further away, on a sloped embankment and have the track go over a bridge instead of a tunnel.
Working on an area at the top of the cliff shown behind the current pictures. I am not sure if I want houses or business up there (or perhaps something else) so feel free to give some suggestions. Will likely post pics soon.

Houses, please.

What about a water tower?
The pools look great, is that a custom water texture?
[QUOTE=Dogchow33;33281404]The pools look great, is that a custom water texture?[/QUOTE]
The pool walls/floor are a custom texture from the Sims 2 pack, someone linked a custom water texture that I will try out as well.

I tried that texture and unfortunately it does not look quite right in my pools (at least in my opinion.)

It also seems to have different effects on my env_lightglows so I'm afraid that I won't be using it.
Update!

I really like this dusk setting and I am likely going to stick with it.
Here is part of the area I am currently working on.

I find dusk to be really pretty
You might want to take a look at The Ship's models and textures, they might fit perfectly into this map.
You'll be able get them for free by downloading the dedicated server files at tools in steam, if they're still there that is.
I love dusk to! The skybox could be more fitting though, it's a bit bright.
So, there'll be both a dusk and a night map, then?
