Looks beautiful as always. Does this mean The Core is likely to be out by the end of the year?

Archie you guys should totally be using the Dreamcast version of the sodapop.

I must have my wires crossed somewhere. I'm sure that the only difference with the Dreamcast cans was that the labels were all changed to real brands.

Nope, higher quality skins of the originals and higher poly model to boot.

How lovely. Our leader has decided to stop using the Granite engine and instead use Source. Not only has that wasted a tonne of my time, but the game isn't going to be open for everyone any more. Oh well, at least I don't have to deal with those bloody spotlights any more.

Nearly done the mesh, just need to do a few details on the body.
Then figure out how to texture it well.

The Camo text is just a joke related to a comment I received about an earlier iteration.

I think the lighting is a bit bland. You can tweak a bit the light_environment( look at the sky clouds- they surely seem lit to me).
Additionaly you can look at Archie's Color Correcting tutorial and perhaps apply some of the theory from there too.

Nice map!

Atmosphere is a trigger of memories and deep instinctive memories caused by natural, familiar environments... or parts of it.. However there is nothing natural in your scene. For ex your sky is totally different from your lightingg

Moaby, I think a subtle blending of the fog and skybox would clean up the slight discoloration of the elements in the fog in the furthest parts in view.

Also those 4 stars in the skybox that are pefectly spaced apart and straight is bothering me. How odd.

Very nice mate. I am actually looking forward to the core because it's been a while since I played on the HL1 engine. I had a quick game of HL1 a few weeks back so I could get used to the combat again :>

@Archie:
I suppose those are placeholder textures because THOSE ARE THE WORST VEHICLE TRACKS I HAVE EVER SEEN.

The cliff, however, looks pretty good.
Posted 11 years ago2012-09-09 09:29:05 UTC Post #309735
Feels weird posting a WIP here. Pretty sure it's been a year or so since I did. Anyway this is a CSGO map I've been working on with a bloke and the area the pic shows is bomb b. Of course those who playtested the map should recognise it.

Lighting is placeholder and most of what you see is model based. They finally made models light the same as brushes.

Yes! Material lighting, here I come! No more placing lights for every signel fixture! :crowbar:

...But I don't have CS:GO yet. And I probably won't until at least next year, when I move out to someplace with internet access. :cry:

Also, everything I can see on this page is looking good!

It was possible to achieve the same results before, they probably switched to default some settings.

Posted 11 years ago2012-09-09 11:24:06 UTC Post #309740
Maybe. All I know is shadows cast on everything so suddenly my map became sexy and then there's the giant models. In old Source they'd only use one light source so if half was in shadow and the other in sun it'd look odd and now in GO when I compile on full it blends it in with both shadow and sun.

And that makes me a happy bunny since I spent a year and a half making levels out of models ;P

Heh I take it you're asking because that one guy on FPSbanana said make it more detailed without an explanation? :D

The buildings actually seem fine to me. It's the terrain, lighting and skybox that bothers me. I'm sick of that grass texture so my first suggestion is grab a grass texture on cgtextures, make it tile and use that. Also maybe make it a blend texture so you can paint some dirt.

Honestly I think the major issue is that grass. It's too bright for the lighting and buildings and you could add a nice dirt road going into the entrance of the compound.

Habboi speaks a lot of sense, it's definitely the surroundings rather than the buildings themselves (although some rooftop details wouldn't go amiss).

Ok, I made a custom detailed grass texture looks a bit better now! CS:GO custom textures really suck. Oh, here's a question, how do I make grass props appear on the texture like they do to most textures in ep2 for example, none of the CS:GO grass textures seem to do that either.

So I made a custom grass texture and custom textures for the building wall, it looks a lot better now (the building)

I should make custom textures more often, I made that sexy thing in a few minutes :P .

Also; I tried adding detail sprites to the .vmt of my texture by adding this line to it:

"%detailtype" "detail/detailsprites"

and made sure that details/detailsprites was the one selected in map properties, and yet the detail sprites did not appear on my texture. Unless I entered the wrong command, I'm going to assume that detail sprites do not work for CS:GO, so in that case, is there any other way I can add a lot of grass everywhere?

2. Make it tile in Photoshop
3. Save it as .vtf with Photoshop plugin
4. ???
5. Grass

Someone on interlopers said their custom detail grass was lit black...maybe they don't work.

Regardless much better! And you can still push it, get a mud texture, edit VMT to say basetexture2 and paint some dirt paths. Maybe add some puddles, replace trees with better ones, GO has some great ones that cast shadows and everything.

This map has a good surrounding woodland, study it. http://gamebanana.com/csgo/maps/166494

Yeah, and maybe sharpen the texture and paint some bits onto it. Oh and normal maps too!

Edit: I'm trying to insert the materials into the bsp, how do I do this? I have no idea how bspzip works, could anyone tell me the step by step process to using bspzip to insert materials into the bsp?
