r_speeds... haven't heard that term in a while. 7000 doesn't sound like much. That bus model from the other thread was 7000.

yeah i thought it looks like a castle yet its vaguely inspired by two abandoned-in-construction soviet hotels ive been to

edit: oh i didnt know what that was

Skals tbh, without all the shaders you could do better results in hl1.
Still it looks pretty good.

So stuff i would change: ( CONS )
  • The Room design looks pretty blocky, try to add some round corners or some trims.
  • The floor looks like a roof, the texture doesnt fit, this just confuses me.
  • I think you use tooooo much glow, it is a cool feature but dont overuse it, this small inside area looks like a rainbow of neon colours.
  • The Copy Paste Lights @ the bridge, you should remove some of them, it doesnt make sence to have 200 lights there and doesnt look good too.
  • Feedback you will like :D ( PROS )
  • The outside "Generator thing" looks stunning and intresting, i want to see more of this !
  • The Roof of the Room looks intresting, i like it a lot.
  • Textures are pretty nice.
  • I like the tentacle lights :D just less glow and neon.
I dont want to crush your day, just try to help :)
( and i know you can do round thing @ your hl1 maps )

Very cool work Skals!

I still use Hammer for architecture. Working on a barndominium I may build as my first home/workshop. Spiral stair case.

Cut an cylinder to fit the requirements, remove unwanted pieces, orient them in space and add other stuff. Also the real question is did he manage to fit those cuboid in space so they dont create invalid solids or did he use pyramids.

I used the arch tool for the rail and steps. I used vertex manipulation on the rail. For the steps I used the increase height option in the arch command. The vertical bars were added individually. :)

Do you use HLFix because I just tried that and it made a load of invalid surfaces.

Don't mean to intrude but I actually wrote a tutorial on how to create something similar a couple of months back, maybe someone will find it useful: http://www.half-lifecreations.com/forums/index.php?topic=1977.0

I've done a few of those in maps I never finished and never posted. Never got it to look right.
Posted 10 years ago2013-12-16 21:45:12 UTC Post #317141
Indeed, Stu. It's not hugely difficult to make a spiral staircase, but what Zeeba manages is making it look so... I don't even know. Elegant? Bedded-in? I almost want to say 'natural' except that wouldn't make sense.

I just think its cool he's using it as almost a CAD program :)
Well Done Zeeba.
I agree with Archie, its very elegant.

Posted 10 years ago2013-12-16 23:58:01 UTC Post #317144
Thanks Tet. Yep I even have a scale i'm going by, sixteen units equals one foot high and twenty units equals one foot wide or one inch equals 1.67 wide and 1.33 high.

I've always used hammer as sort of a cad program it's so quick and handy and you get to walk in your work.

Posted 10 years ago2013-12-17 00:43:35 UTC Post #317146
Why isn't your scale square?

Curiously, I have a personal scale that's about the same. 48 units equals 1 metre (and since 1 foot = 30cm, it's pretty close). But I never thought of it being different vertically than horizontally.
Posted 10 years ago2013-12-17 03:40:02 UTC Post #317147
I seem to recall reading somewhere that if you use the height of the player bounding box as the height of the average person and then assume a square coordinate scale, the width/depth of the player bbox makes the "average person" in the engine comically fat or thin. A non-square scale makes sense when you look at it like that.

Penguinboy PenguinboyHaha, I died again!
Posted 10 years ago2013-12-17 05:37:47 UTC Post #317148
True. But I could argue that 32 units is only the bounding box of the player, and not their full width. I'll accept that while 32 units (actually 33) in-game are the tightest spot the player can get into, 32 inches are pretty comfortable for an average person.
Posted 10 years ago2013-12-17 12:31:48 UTC Post #317155
this whole short fat gordon fuckery is because of fov, on average monitors take up way less than 90 degrees of our vision, more like 50, but that's too little for a fps game, that's why valve came up with those hacks like inflating guns at the end and the latter one too and stuff like that

I was testing my map after a compile and found one of the combines near a door. The thing is, this combine had no way of arriving in that state... because there's nothing to cause him damage:

Hey. There's a lot of talking here, not a lot of pictures. So how about we post some stuff from the past, to.. uh, bring in the new year? Okay. I'll start.

This is the oldest thing I created that is still available online, (thankfully) the rest was wiped from existence long ago.
It had jump-pads a la Quake 3, and a pit of doom with a rocket launcher hovering above it for only the most courages to attempt to get.

edit: scratch that, http://www.dedust.ru/?id=9644 is the oldest. Who's sharing this?

My barndominium. Also built a model of it. I'm hoping to build my first house in a couple of years and this is my second proposal. This one has plenty of space to prefab tree houses and other projects and room to ride flatland.

[Zeeba's COOLification Mode] - Activated.

Though, you could round the window corners a bit imho. Unless you want them like that, of course.
Did you used texlights for the upper wall light textures?
Seems cool enough btw. :3 Nice one Zeeba. ;)

Loving your barndominiumim, and that metal walking frame for your Lost Technology map is boss! Of all the brushwork spiral staircases posted here(including my own), the one in your barn is my fav! =P

Two more brushwork spiral staircases to add to the mix...
