Decided to go digging into my older map ideas, and I found one that looked interesting a few years back. Figured I'd do it over again and give it a better kick to it.

It can look cool if you get the seam right on the edge of the brush.
We must have different definitions of "cool", because to me it makes it look like an asset from a cartoon game accidentally got put in a TF2 map.

I think day might be nicer.

Yes I KNOW it's too dark for players.
Yes I KNOW it's a fast compile and the lighting isn't correct on the trees and props and point.

Looks really good, but I think it's really gloomy looking for TF2. That first screenshot is almost entirely shades of grey.

Soho doesn't give you a lot of options so I'm trying to use warm lights. I'll punctuate it with signs and small colored lights later on.

grey isn't bad, makes player contrast really readable.

You could try and use some of the "lit" window models and use lighting coming off the windows to give it some more warmth, and colors.
