First try at making a Piranesi-style area. An interesting fact is that it would be impossible to do this with the HL1 engine.

Hm, I think that that ramp draws away from the similarity a little.

Oh, its not a ramp. It's a long staircase. I dont want to copy the drawings. But they are a good inspiration source.

that can be done in HL1

I'm attempting to make a hl1dm map, to play with Parabot (and my friends, too.) I'm kinda doing more programming than mapping lately though.

Yes, I have played that demo. But that's not the HL1 engine as we know it.
The engine itself (spirit or no spirit) has problems with high polycounts, no matter how good the PC might be.

From the same map. This has something of Roman architecture about it.

Last time I checked, Spirit of Half-Life supported reflective water, mirrors and several other nifty things that would make this surely possible in HL. Playable framerates might be a whole different story here, but hey... 
Looks nice bytheway, Kasperg. Seems you do a good job with your architecture classes.

Thanks!
What I meant about "not possible in HL1" is similar to something like:
"That car can't reach certain speed". Of course, you can argue that the car can be tweaked to infinity and maybe it works, but I meant HL1, not a tweaked engine.

Kasperg that looks amazing! Your the first in my opinion to make such nice arches! My god, saves image and tries to mimic! I got a new role model!

The fun part is that there's tons of arches but framerates are excellent. Now THAT cant' be done with the HL1 engine

Reminds me of Morish architecture. Something like seen in Granada or Sevilla. I once created a map in that sort of style in HL, but indeed, framerates weren't so good...

It might look like the Mezquita of Cordoba but the idea is actually from one of Piranesi's drawings of invented places. Maybe he had the inspiration from there, but his work is usually much more like Roman architecture

since i can't source map for anything besides HL2 itself, i'm gonna just make a line of the strangest maps you'll ever play.
I'm liking the entity system, so i'm thinking of throwing out some eye-candy maps with a crap load of puzzles in them. Kinda like what i tried for hl1 with my "l33t tests" idea and the mini test chamber. With source, it would be so much more versitile. mwaha...

I almost fear for Gordans mental health while he's in the source 133t tests.

Yeah, i believe it would rise a challenge out of the l33t players around here. That's the point, mwaha...
Viewable distance of 5000? ... this is the dumbest thing ever. some of my maps have viewing distances of over 6000.
Bumpmapped stone textures? ... if your that worried about stuff like this, you can put together a lighting wad and apply it's textures additively where ever. I tried this and have actually got some alright results, i just haven't made anything serious with them.
Reflective water? .... nopeControl of shadow resolution? ... YES! I've found that you CAN change this in the bath compiler. Can't remember which parameter it is at the moment. Only problem is that it takes 8 years to compile and the limit for light patches is easily exceeded with larger maps.

A good way to fake bumpmapping is to take a texture and photoshop it to make it look like there is light on the texture. Then add a light entity where the texture's "light" is.

Bumpmapping can technically be simulated at a high texture memory cost, yes. I've tried some stuff a few years ago as well. Some things worked, some things looked awfull, in the end it's just too much of a hassle.
Dynamic bumpmapping may be doable as well, though limited and with some more significant overhead of trickery.
In other words, I'd go with HL2 all the way...
Then again, I'm probably just stating the obvious...

I followed the trend and made a G-mod Comic...
Didn't wanna start a new thread, so here it is. The idea is kind of ripped off from Ravenholm Armory (Hilarious comic), but everything else is made by me. Except the setting, wich is d1_trainstation_02.
Comments, suggestions welcome.

Since you dont have to worry about framerates doing these comics, I'd say everyone doing hl comics should enable full Anti-aliasing for better looking screenshots. It's just a suggestion.
BTW, does Gman die or is it just a daily beating from the combine?

Radiant has shitty draw distances, so I can't really show much more unless I take 1000 screenies.

Kaspberg: You'll see on page 2 ;).
Aye, I used shitty-ass settings when making that to speed up load times. I'll run on full everything next time.

I prefer having most of the screen covered in grid in radiant, but I suppose it's personal preference.

An experiment made with hexagonal shapes in the floorplan. It might become a map some day.
