artpass

When playtesting one of my maps (headquarters, to be precise), I noticed a recurring piece of feedback of people saying that the map has prop spam. Isn't the whole artpassing thing to cover the map with a bunch of props? Or am I doing it in a way that doesn't look coherent? What are the ways to...

A single misaligned wormhole is all it takes. A single wormhole, through which we could never see the destination of until we arrived. And where have we arrived, exactly? Well.. it's a bit of a long story. You may want to stick to the spaceships until we land, it might be easier to get your...

As a mapper, you should always try to make the map less repetitive. One way of achieving this is by adding texture variants to spice up the layout. However, multiple texture variants can cause your map's file size to increase by a margin. Let's say you have a 512x512 texture that is ~600 KB...

Hello! This is a half request, half interest check to assist the artpass of my map cp_overload if/when it reaches beta. I say interest check simply because I don't want to bring someone on until I know for sure that I want to see the map through to RC. The last thing I want is to lead anyone on...

Since the discovery of cement artists have desired to create building-sized art pieces to push the boundaries of their medium and show off in a very humble and modest way, but they have been shackled by the laws of land ownership with extravagant magnates and humble farmers alike prohibiting the...

Back in 2010 there was a contest in which Valve gave the TF2M community a base map to artpass. Since then, most of those maps have been forgotten with the unique styling some of them used. Some of the maps had cubemap problems or were outright corrupted. I grabbed what I could. Enjoy. Two...

Hello all, I've tried to make a few maps but on each one I've had trouble refraining from doing art passes before the layout is proven. This is mainly due to the fact that my usual orange/gray dev textures are painful to look at and don't distinguish landscape and structures very well. I was...
