WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

[Startacker!]

My very first point in my very first attempt at a map! Here's a few angles:

Don't forget to disable the shadows on those rails!

While this does get rid of ugly track shadows, it can lead to the tracks appearing to "float" on the ground, since they should be casting a subtle shadow on the ground. The proper solution is to compile with -staticproppolys enabled, but it'll make your compile time longer, which you might not want.

 

[Another Bad Pun]

Since arena mode is broken right now, I've taken some time off to work on Dog3 some more. There are gameplay, as well as many visual changes in store.

 

[Vel0city]

I see these things about arena being borked.

What's borked about it?

 

[Urban]

Something in arena mode broke which means that people waiting to play do not get allocated to a round correctly. When we played Mocha the other day it forced 2v2s and 1v1s even though there were 20+ people waiting to play a match...

I haven't mapped for a while, but now I have, and here is what I've got so far:

 

[Corvatile]

More Saluto detailing.

Might not look much different but the lighting in this room is a hundred times better now imo

Perilous!

Don't brain yourself on the rocks.

Sometimes you gotta take a big step backward.

Edit:
And when I mean huge step, a goddamn huge step

Edit 2:
Earthquake!!!

 

[Muddy]

Looks super neato, but there's a couple things I noticed in this screenshot.

First off: those wooden planks sloping upward look rather thick. Are they 16hu? I'd try 8hu instead.

Also, try increasing that water texture so it doesn't repeat so much.

@zahndah

Done and done. Some more detailing by mid:

Also built this crane from brushwork. Not finished yet.

 

[Crowbar]

Will you get a model for that crane?

 

[Atlusia]

so I've pulled myself from my reoccurring depression and decided to work on a paused map project so here is cp_gryphons first point and blue spawn.

 

[Dr. Orange]

This map have some more things in it now. It's just stage 1 for now. I'll probably upload it later today.

happy new y

2017-dewm update#1
updated outside of spawn a little

lower ventilation/cave area, will prob reduce the repeating 45-degree-support, too many

upper ventilation/cave, missing some wires and lamps

started tasting the rocks, wee too dark, will update it before next playtest

dewm facility exterior in the skybox, missing dome, some pipes, wires and decals etc

~25-35 more models and 20ish textures to do before next release, hopefully I'll get some spare time soon

 

[Etasus]

holy shit, i NEED you to teach me your wonderful ways!

 

[Yrr]

skybox loooks kind of overdetailed compared to usual tf2 skyboxes

(to be honest the corridor does too, you could town down the amount of detail a lil)

Instant Doom vibes. And still waiting for that tutorial

But yeah, as Yrr said, that skybox mountain can be toned down a lot in terms of detail.

 

[Asd417]

I made a small detail practice to test out this tropical theme.

The skybox was created by Killohurtz. I hope someone would make a map with this.
Isn't that glorious.

This is my first time making the 3d skybox and I noticed that water only works partially.
At least the view from here is good.

Overall view. Everything outside this screenshot are all part of the skybox. Trees are in the skybox too

 

[saph]

Had a rough week, and decided to take a little mental break.

Spoiler: I screamed when I forgot to func_detail the arches.

 

[ProfHappycat]

workin on my map and trying to decide if i should change the lighting or not

original lighting (highpass/hydro)

new lighting (dustbowl)
