I saw this on snarkpit and i thought the building looks nice and smooth

looked*

Looking pretty nice, but is that terrain in the front of the screenie done with the old triangle method? Looks rather pointy - use displacement maps and make it look more smoothed-out? (or it already is and the screenie doesn't show it...?)

also orphious (cant remember how to spell) is right about you being a good mapper so change the car road type thing to steps like he suggested on snarkpit

it's Orpheus, and yes, I'll change that thing to stairs. The terrain is doen by using displacement surfaces, but its temporary. I need more triangles in it

wow just think though as if that is one building imagine a whole map with detail such as that

I replaced it with stairs now, looks better. Now, I'm going to map some more buildings tomorrow, because I've spent waay to long on this piece.

Do you use som kind of a Vertextool in HL2/CS:S mapping too?

Those surfaces are made by displacement surfaces, if that's what you mean. That involves toying with vertexes. The wooden structures were also made by vertex manipulation.
