its a texture used in the underworld in viaduct_event.

use the word "event" in the texture browser and you'll find it.

edit:
random displacement detail thing.

this april fool contest is somehow encouraging me to push my displacement-fu and environment-fu to new unheard-of levels. :-\

teach me to displace, master

This is adorable, mappers freaking out over basic shapes.

Go pick up blender or any other decent modeling package. These would take you like a minute to make, as an added bonus they'll be like 40 tris, instead of 800.

It has been significantly upgraded.

Sel, I think people are freaking out because this is made in Source, not in a modern 3D modelling program.

Last I checked you can put models in source. Also it doesn't take a modern modeling program, these shapes are so basic that you could have easily made them in 1995.

Redesigned Sohvi's mid.

Man, I'm so guilty of that - trying to use displacements or brushes for what should be a model. The last few weeks I bit the bullet and got a free student version of Max. Modeling really isn't as hard as I thought it was, just a little daunting with the whole .smd/.qc compile stuff. Once you get past the pipeline the first time, it starts to become a lot more natural.

 

[re1wind]

Yeah, the pipeline from any modelling program to mdl is a bit bothersome the first few times.

also, this if you're using 3dmax. You are quite welcome.

If you have any knowledge of how subdivisions work in 3d modelling programs, the same is approximately the same for subdividing displacements in source.

7 brushes, displace the appropriate sides (not the top), then just press the subdivide button. in this case the buttons/actions are simple, but requires knowledge of how the subdivide function works, and intimate knowledge of displacement-fu.

What have I created

oh god

help me

 

[LeSwordfish]

Its... beautiful...

 

[Sergis]

oh hell yes

edit: can it fly

 

[Burnout6010]

I'm smelling April Fools in the air ...

 

[Micnax]

Not as impressive but...

Aly, get help

 

[GPuzzle]

Oh god i'm starting to infect people.
I shouldn't have gone to the gameday yesterday.
Someone, keep her in quarantine.
I need some sleep.

 

[Freyja]

Clearly you're not quite aware of my history of maps. It's probable I started the infection.
