Currently working on a KOTH map that I may or may not change into a 5cp map later down the road. I plan on lighting up the area a tad bit, but I like the overall tone of the area.

Would displacements work to make actual holes? I thought they were just for hills and things.

It's a bit more difficult, but yeah, it's possible. I did it in arena_charlotte (though I'm hardly an expert in displacements).

But don't use power 4.

Unless you absolutely have too. Even then you can still probably achieve it with 3. Power 4 isn't as bad as say carving, but do it sparingly if you do.

Eh, most displacements I see at P3 could probably be P2 also. I don't think anyone should ever need P4.

Particularly as the engine has collision issues with P4.

Those sculptures though, I wouldn't recommend hammer for those. I'd recommend 3d modeling packages. 3DSMax, Maya, Blender. Then they can have a much better shape and texturing.

What's with you and 3-point stages?

Standard 3-stage payload is 2 2-point stages and one 3-point stage, actually.

Can red come from the left there? Seems like they're going to be able to cut off blu once they push past the top of that big ramp. Unless they come from the back-left. But then, again, it seems like blue can cut red off by taking the left route before they've pushed around the building.
