Custom brick rubble texture made combining a TF2 texture with a stock image

Of course, Valve for the base map and TF2Maps.net for their community work.

(Thanks to ZPQ for allowing an exception to me for my not following the official entry protocol on the forum.)

(I'd still like to do a few touch-ups... Argh!)

Displacements. Lots of displacements.

the theme looks like something from half life 2. it looks cool. How you did the broke walls?

You make a wall normally. Then chop it up into four-side pieces. Then delete a bunch of the central pieces to make a hole. Then vertex edit the remaining pieces to deform the shape (make sure the remaining pieces are rectangular and the corners still touch). Then select the faces of those pieces, turn into displacements. Then a little bit of displacement editing on the exposed rubble faces in two axes only (depending on the direction of your wall - for example, if your wall goes north-south [i.e. divides a west yard from an east yard], you only shift the faces to the north, south, up and down, never east-west). Also, you need to texture the interior faces to be brick or something that looks like exposed masonry.

For the big one I also added the little brick pieces as func_details.

You're style is very unique and I think I like it a lot! It strikes me as the more literal take on TF2's americana/industrial setting, like Well or Granary shifted just a little towards real industrial. Very neat!

Thanks. I am really interested in the brickwork. They don't make buildings like that anymore.
