looks great Don! Looking forward to more pics....

My only complaint is your image hosting.. can't you link directly to the image or use imageshack like everyone else?!

What's wrong with photobucket?

Post #280032
nothing, except link to the image directly and not to the photobucket page, like i said above.

sorry captain....I too use photobucket. I will forthwith change to imageshack for further image postings.
lol
all you have to do is open it in a new window and it comes in fine (no edit)

there's nothing wrong with it afaik, but like image shack, you can link to the user page or the image iteslf. I was just trying to say people prefer being directed to the image itself, and not the page with the ads, that's all.

edit: when you click "open in a new window", the thumb comes up instead of the regular image, gah..P

It's a lot more convenient for the viewer to not have to wait for the rest of the page to load, especially since the image is the last thing to load on websites like Photobucket and Imageshack. It's also a lot more convenient to not have to click a downsized image on a web page to view the whole picture. Nobody ever actually views the cropped image. Ever.
Less clicks, less waiting, more happy time.
That's why it's better to link to an image directly.

Yes, very good. How far in development are you now?

Post #280154
I'd say about 10%.
I am going to use the teleporter method of doors. Just think Fallout 3 and you will instantly understand what i mean. SO all of these structures are hollow. All the interior will be in a seperate 'void' area of the map.
As far as the overall grid size, what you see in the most recent pics is only about 15-20% of the total area. I am also making in inside of the city (refer to the 1st pic in the thread), and there will be a set of caves too(under the current part I am working on now).

My mapping method is as follows right now:
A. Map for 20-30 mins
B. Play HoN for an hour
C. Rinse and Repeat
Updates. Almost done with this section of the map.

My only criticism is that the grey texture is very repetetive and boring, and makes the map look blank. I don't know if you're going to leave it like that or put things over it/change the texture around, but in my opinion, I think you need to mix it up, add more foliage, more details and colours. Otherwise, the map is beautiful!

@ ashephard: yea, I am planning on making some custom blend textures with detail sprites and models to fill it in.
@ Rimrook: good link, I been looking for some more pics of that scene. As you can see, I started just as a recreation, then started making it my own.
Thanks to those links I actually got in contact with the artist.

not excatly sure, it was in my gmod folder, so who knows
model name is: models/cherokemodels/palmy/tree_big03.mdl
on the subject of models...
can anyone link me to a download of a haystack or wheat(or even a good corn model) for source?
I tried to find the one from l4d2 or even l4d, but had no luck extracting them.

I lost almost a full days worth of mapping today fixing some potential problems. All those fence posts (with weird angles and verticies not on grid) where eating up my planes, so I busted out good ol' propper and had to replace and posistion every fence on the map.
However, I did complete the bounding area of the village.
This is where you will be teleported to as you leave the wasteland and enter the village.

That box building room station/platform thing looks too heavy and unbalanced for those thin pillars, and looks like a very unstable structure overall. I know it's not finished, it's just an observation.

Yea there is a lot more to it than what I have done yet
Edit:
You got me to thinking, I was just gonna do a set of beams around those poles with a ladder system, but that wouldn't add any support, so thanks for the CC on that one man.

zomg how did you get map to match the concept art so perfectly?! that's insane!

Is everything made out of world brushes or are you modeling too?

Post #280441
to in the last pic above your post, there are 3 visable brushes in that structure (including the rails and supports). Just the floor, and 4 walls are brushes.
Everything else is a model.

Redid the water fall, this time using the particle system.
The way I did it previous, and the way I still have for the lower falls, is using a basic scrolling texture.
Little different in source, but its only 1 line in the vtf.
This new waterfall is actually about 10 particle systems and 6 env_steam's working together.

Gonna be pushing some limits if I fill this all in, along with the rest of the map.

Started on some of the interiors today. Working on an old run down mall in the city.
The city will be broken into 2 unequal sides. 1 side, is the 'New City' that takes up about 4/5 of the area, the other is the remains of the 'Old City'
The 'Old City' is where the train comes into, right on the border of the 'New City'.
Anyways, this is a model I made for the inside of the mall.

Ignore the large solid buildings, they are place holders.
Haven't posted in a while on this, so here is a bulk update.
Been working a lot on the city side, it is broken into 2 parts seperated by the tracks.
1st side (small) is the old city, the pre war side. It is run down and for the most part forgotten.

I'm not sure if you've addressed it yet, but something needs to be done about the sunlight It's very dull. Needs much more contrast, or at least it needs to be brighter.
