I continued working on my Sven Co-op map pack "Sandstorm". It's doing very well ever since the update that fixed the enormous lag on OpenGL.
And here's one of the much older screenshots:
This is pretty much the basic setup behind it:
And, yes, I used teleporting func_trains for that one. It's the 2nd level, sandstorm1

I do love the teleporting func_trains method.
I don't suppose sven-coop has fog? Could maybe use some of that to simulate a/the sandstorm and mask the draw-distance point (unless that's just where your skybox bounds are?)

Well, they ARE the skybox bounds, because I increased the view distance to 8096. Also, the func_trains look like they "pop up" when they teleport. In Software mode, they used to be visually blocked by the sky brushes, because I created another sky room.
Apparently, entities behind sky brushes are displayed even though they should not.
Actually, I can use sprites to simulate fog. I think fog isn't a thing in Sven Co-op, HOWEVER, I can use sprites with the following:
(look up, it looks like a white blob)
The glow sprites disappear when you're far away, and shine when you're very close. So it makes a wonderful extra smoke effect.
EDIT: Yes, it's 640x480. I don't have a high-end card like the GTX 1080, but rather an iGPU which is worse than Intel HD Graphics.

- Render Color: 255 200 128 (let's give it a sandy colour)
- Filename: sprites/wep_smoke_01.spr
- Scale: 2 to 10 (varies from each "particle")

@Solokiller
Thanks, but it apparently won't work well with my truck. It's because the camo net has Render Mode set to Solid. And it says that entities with Render Mode other than Normal won't be affected.
But I will still use it on the second map, with the osprey ride.

@Admer456 Are you going to have Darude - Sandstorm play on a loop in the background?

@Dr. Orange
Good idea, but not exactly where I plan to insert it.
Darude - Sandstorm will be in the credits and a cinematic cutscene,
Foghat - Slow Ride will be in the osprey ride,
and for the rest, I'll make my own, probably. That includes:

For the osprey ride, how about have another helicopter or 2 flying along in formation in a spot such that they cover up the draw distance/skybox cutoff point?

@Dallas
It wouldn't work, because the players can move around freely and I don't want to freeze them in a spot
Hmm, but then I would have to control the players even more, because these rushers can go out everywhere. When the osprey's tail explodes, you can actually get out through the window on the osprey's top.
Still, fog is my #1 option.

Don't let the water fool you - the competition only covers HL1 maps as originals 
With that in mind, it kinda looks like the Surface Tension map where you start in the pipes and canal before coming up to fight the tank and a bunch of grunts. But only kinda.

It's not Surface Tension, keep guessing
Either way, here's an in-Hammer overview that doesn't show a lot.

Hmm, from what I see, this is a perfect setting for a harbour, or a bay.
I don't have suggestions other than placing crates and ladders on some spots.
Maybe you could add some shelves somewhere and a couple of buckets, along with a static forklift.
Also, since you're using Imgur, you can go into your account's images, and click on any image. Now, you'll see embedding options. Select Large Thumbnail, copy the BBCode, and paste it here.

its a concept map, im working on.
i know its blocky, empty and wall sizes are bad. but it is much about concepting. ill add crates, barrels and stuff.
idea: minimalist hardcore cs map, distinctive colors.
first time embeding a screen hope did right

its 48*48 modified original half-life tile placed on 64X units thick walls and also not alligned one brush texture to another i was hoping nobody will notice but you noticed
im gonna scrap it and remake new and more spectacular map
main reason of making this concept map was thinking and experimenting on color concept

On a note of my own, I'm pulling an old project out of stasis to continue working on not only my level design, but texture and 3D art skills as well. It may feel a little familiar.

poor me i was thinking "people concentrate to my concept so they wont notice flaws, so im gonna upload without fixing it yet"obviously there is not enough concept details to make people concentrate, just plain walls
but my mistake i didnt think at the first time "its not yet detailed much so flaws will be noticed instantaneous." thanl you guys, your critics are good for a rookies like me, i didnt even notice some flaws without you
im continuing to develop mapping skills
im planning to give lots of details to this map, i wont let this concept die i didnt recognize these first 2 pictures but it seems office complex, first i thought its for somekind enhanced goldsource but after examining, its for source(lol :D). goodluck on it.

Been messing around with Blender to try and copy an electron microscope image of a record player stylus.
I wouldn't be happy with it normally, but I'm not too invested in this. I actually only started it to test an idea I had for how to convert waveforms into heightmaps, a technique which I used to make the record grooves in the image.
I also added some chromatic aberration, mainly to see if I could make it look realistic enough. I'll just ask everyone to ignore the fact that it wouldn't appear in an electron microscope image.
And Crypt, those are some sexy looking screenshots.

This is my first "serious" mapping project. It's a competitive de_ map for the more general audience (pub servers =3). If not public servers, then at least one clan will accept it (I'm making the map for them):
Therefore, it won't contain breakable stuff, vehicles etc. Just a plain, classic CS 1.6 map with 2 bombspots.
When I finish the de_ version, I will make the fun_ version which will contain breakable stuff, barrels, pushable boxes, vehicles, mounted machine-guns, and so on...
The map itself is basically a mix of de_storm, de_cbble (1.6 and CS:GO's Cbble), and de_forge. Storm's aesthetics and visual style, and the layout is a mix between Cbble, Forge and my own planning.
Also:
Hehehe... the power of J.A.C.K

Update on my map:
The Ts can get to site B quicker than CTs.
So, I was too lazy to change the layout, and I punched a hole in the wall.
I, hopefully, balanced the layout now =3
@Urby
I believe that my physics teacher wrote that on the blackboard once, in 8th grade.
c stood for specific thermal capacity and its value was 3. But also, the unit for c is J/kgK so I don't think anyone noticed the mature joke, lol.
