And i discovered a major problem with the outer edge... its too steep to simply walk on and you need to jump. It brings the angle from 45 to 90 because i used subdivide for it. I need to change the way it creates the edge using connecting displacements to give it some control.

And that takes at least 1 hour to figure out and 1 hour to try to fix it and get ideas.

Anoying moments when creating something nice.

Make it flat, like the normal Hydro dish

how'd you get them wires to shake when the train crosses?

nothing too special, could be interesting though
animated of course

As I told you on Steam, Alias, you might wanna look into making clipped stairs so that the bots can get out.
Normally, if you make very steep stairs, as long as the steps are not higher than 16 units, it should work.
Other than that, the map looks complex and I like it

this is dumb and i hate it

 

[Freyja]

I think it looks pretty cool!

just needs some cut out sharks and it'll be perfect. Also, look into bulletcrops content pack for oceanic models and textures.

Is that even tf2?

That was the idea. Now its a circular displacement and thats exactly the problem. It has to be more flat to fit:

Not having the circle is going to give issues at sewing it. Even though i managed to do that at first it still made it have corners and wasnt a good dish anymore. That circle was to cover up the gaps of the displacements while still maintaining a good look. But atm that extra displacement came at a cost.

I can't tell if you put the texture all the way around the capture zone, but if you did, put $nocull on it.

What did you do to get it looking like water from the side?

So far all my attempts at a similar idea have been in vain.

 

[Exactol]

I think you just texture the sides with the water texture, instead of nodraw

 

[Beetle]

You can try colored fog

 

[Prestige]

yeah fish tanks always looked weird for me. by always i mean that one time i made them in that bad koth map.

2 refract textures that look like tf2 water tied to a func_brush so its nonsolid

water brush that is invisible but acts like water (egan gave it to me awww yea)

and then a transparent texture that is lightblue for the sides on the tank, also a nonsolid funcbrush. best i cold do and it still looks poo
