Drawing a lot of inspiration from your work, doughnut.

Looks incredible

so as some of you may already know, I've been dabling within the bsp file structure for a while now and I came up with a lightmap editor to edit lightmaps, by hand. As soon as it was operational, I couldn't resist the urge of vandalizing cp_orange.

You ruined that map's devilishly good looks!

You monster!

Oh man its the robot factory from the spy vs. spy game

Woah. It's scary how close in concept I was without ever having played that game.

To anyone that also hasn't played the 2005 Spy Vs. Spy PS2 game, this is the part that Vaconcovat is referring to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biwqK3RpISg&t=9m13s

Same cave/canal concept, same airboat, same usage of yellow cranes. Subconsciously channeling that shit, yo.

A corridor.

You know you have to have a spy v spy reference in there now

detail-less detail experiments.

this one became a dead-end as i'm uncertain of what to do with it.

Less than an hour for this one. i feel like i could spend days on it tweaking and improving it, but i don't feel like it.

another spam-thing, 2-4 hours maybe? still working on it. might turn into an actual map...

little tip for later, rewind:

circle to square brushwork is possible with one solid (for your beams)

 

[re1wind]

oh nice, those pillars are displacements though. i could make them more fancy, but i pushed myself to make that last scene as fast as possible... and i have a thing for displacements.

 

[Seba]

Holy shit I love that area. Make it into a map or I'm stealing it.

 

[Prestige]

tbh is looks incredibly awkward to climb that staircase, looks fun to defend from there tho

 

[ForbiddenDonut]

I'd turn it into a spiral ramp and make it a road - it'd look more natural in my opinion. (Although you might need to give it a bit more space at the bottom to make it more believable for vehicles).

Also, I'd severely cut up that yellow railing on the top ledge. You're going to want people fighting from up there, and those rails might get in the way.

Oh, that's how you got it to not be an invalid structure. merging the vertices of the top side of the cylinder into a square results in an invalid solid, yet that is what JP has.

TO fix that, and get what JP has, in vertex edit mode select two vertices and press ctrl + f to create an edge between the two vertices. see jp's image to see where that edge needs to go.

 

[Ælement]

huh

I don't see any way you could make that an invalid brush

 

[re1wind]

24 sided cylinder. go make it in hammer, see what i mean.

been there, done that, still no comprende

 

[fubarFX]

come on, there is only 2 flat polygons that could go wrong, everything else are triangles, how do you make that invalid?
