I think for goldsource that is incredibly detailed, very well done noSICK sir. I like those hi-def textures a lot.

noSICK, that looks awesome. I especially like the cell-shaded style textures, you don't see those very often, in either games or mods.
Urby, those are some nice models. I kind of want to complain about the vending machines though, because while the shape is a cut above the standard, they don't look functional at all.

HAH! I spend about 30 minutes just trying to figure out how to do this and another 30 just building it and getting it to texture correctly, but I bring to you...AN 8 PIECE CURVED SIX-SIDED PIPE WITH ACCURATE TEXTURING!

I don't care if someone has done this already, I'm really impressed with myself for this one.

That is impressive. Is... is that hollow, too?
Holy crap.

Yeah, it has to be hollow. It needs to be made of pyramids/triangles because if you try to acheive this with flats you'll get invalid solids. In all, it's 128 solids and 64 rendered faces.

Oh, and its 8-sided...I can't count :P

Theoretically, I could make it actually hollow and player crawlable, but it would double in brushes and faces.

EDIT: There, I actually did it. It's hollow inside now, with double the amount of brushes and faces.

You know you can do this very quickly by creating a pipe with the arch tool, chop it up into many segments and vertex manipulate it.

Is that how you did it? Though both ends become parallel with my method instead of the pipe actually curving.

Not bad. Similar to my one I posted before.

I was so excited with the skyrim creation kit, but I got back into goldsource mapping, and now I have to do unreal editor 3. Damn youuuuu!

You might remember this from 2009-2010. Well I was a noob at displacements when I started it and it eventually failed to compile at all...

Fast forward 2 years and here we have the brand new reboot. Totally built from scratch over the past two weeks, none of the original map survived and it compiles an 80mb BSP in around 12 minutes.

Some experiments. Note the complex geometry metal walls, made of brushes by hand, also one my first texture painting attempts.

Also some logic behind it:

/ - Low weight
Y - Medium weight
X - High weight

To save metal ^^

Im PRAYING Valve takes some notes from the UDK devs so i can mod HL3 easily when i comes out. I like the idea of Half life and really like all you guys here so i don't want to move away from it!

That is really neat stuff Bruce, it's reminding me of the cargo containers and ship from Pitch Black :P

It's a shame Goldsource fucks the lighting up on those smooth corners. Nice work, none-the-less, Bruce
Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
Posted 12 years ago2012-02-28 20:57:34 UTC Post #303821
Thank you. It is inspired by Pitch Black! Haha. Those corners aren't really that nasty, VHLT does great job on smoothing compared to previous tools. Such bugs happen when a surface/polygon is tinier than a single unit of the lightmap on it. You can fix it by lowering the scale of lightmap (by lowering the scale of texture). Anyway, GoldSrc is just too old for such level of complexity, especially when it comes to brushwork. But if you map very efficiently, I'm sure you could use it in some places.

Here, some up-close texture testing:

From left to right:

1.Original 1024x1024 to 512x512 (scaled by nearest neighbor)
2.1024x1024 to 128x128 (bilinear)
3.1024x1024 to 128x128 (nearest neighbor)

Really nice work on the texturing, Bruce. Loving the little highlights, etc. Gives the structure a smooth look.

Indeed they are smooth they look like something to eat =)

JoeBAMba: 'tis looking pimp sir. WE TRUE HOMIE.

Still working to improve de_747, hoping to upload it to the vault in a couple days if i hit no major snags, but i'm not releasing it 'till it's "done". =)

Optimization: DONE
3dskybox: 90%
Brushwork: 95%
Lighting: 50%
Custom textures: 05% ='(
Clipping: 80%

Improved mostly the 3dsky and outside areas of the map, added detail, and major optimization improvements to fps. (i may use fog_controller to increase it more, but right now it plays very smooth on my computer at 60-80 fps)

Industrious is one of Joe's old maps.
And I like that water tower. It reminds me of the one in the town I lived in when I was younger.

Industriosus, btw. Though, now that I think of it, Industrious sounds cooler.

I would say go play the original map but, my god it sucks.

Get some details in and make the lighting a bit less uniform!

This has great potential.

I'd take another look at those cables. They are far too curvy and... well, no cable is going to fall on the ground the way you have them laid out. I know you just want those curves to come off as more detail, but they look too sharp.
User posted image
Also, in that first screenshot, don't have the cables crossing over each other. Take a look at how I build the cables in this map. I've included the rmf.
