Nope, no custom model. That's just a skin from fpsbanana.

And yeah, i know i forgot the cubemaps. I'll do them next time. :p

EDIT: Now that i think about it, a long time to finish + too much free time + Blender = Custom Models!

With Cap A, you might want to rotate the barrels and crates behind the chicken wire around a bit. They look too similar to each other.

But it's a great start.

Haha, thanks FearTheMango :)

And yeah, point A is still very WIP so i'll probably rotate them or do something else to them later.

Any thoughts on Image #6?

Looking great! I really like the map. But some of your buildings' roofs are cut at the end. If it's because of the low skybox, you might want to raise it a bit. And if you don't feel in the mood to lift the whole skybox, then make the buildings lower.
Good luck!

Yeah, I am raising the Skybox a bit at the moment actually, if you were to look at it in hammer you could see all the holes in it. :p

The skybox is too low anyway, you can rocket jump up to it.

EDIT: Can't thank you enough Kiwi :)

The lighting (ambient or env lighting) is really screwed up in your map! Look at where the sun is in the skybox. Now look at your shadows, now back at your sun. The possition is all wrong - and it makes everything look really weird.

Fix'd the env lighting, but now it needs a lot more light fixing again... :p

Will update OP when its worth it.

Please comment.

This map makes me want to start hyperventilating. Especialy around your first point, you have TOO MUCH DETAIL. It is too busy, and distracts players from playing. Choose one major detail to keep, and you will see that it will be better. I do like your second set of screenshots, though.

Thanks, ive got an idea of what to remove now. Those screens are old though, they were mainly for testing aspects of what should do with the entire level afterwards.

@ Grim Tuesday: I dont know about too much detail. It seems pretty clean to me, though some of the detail choices seem a little odd. The towels and locker bench inside the garage stand out oddly, as do some of the pipes. Look at those short ones sticking out next to the door near the catwalk in the spawn room. That's weird. Dont do that.

Most of the vents, crates and other junk seem alright.

Thos pictures are old, and those objects are all gone anyway. :mellow:

Should really update the pictures soon, they're way out of date.

What do you think about changing theme to a more gorge like alpine theme? Im not to sure about the snowy theme. Also contains a little progress update.

Eg:

Ill update OP later once ive got a solid theme opinion.
