WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

That looks great Could you try stronger, more directional environment lighting though? Either that or turn down the env brightness and use more spotlights, right now the lighting looks a bit flat and uninteresting.

 

[Idolon]

Looks awesome! Don't forget to slap on a big team logo somewhere: the hallmark of all great base facades.

Rotated the light to face the facade, rather than the backside, brightened the env lighting and lowered the ambient and shadow lighting to emphasize the shadows:

Already looks a lot better. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey Berry - map looks nice but that first image is off.

You have high ground on the concrete and an almost full sewer - it might look more natural if the ground was lower - or keep it the same but make the sewer lower dirt lower - it's unusual to see the sewer ground the same height as the surrounding ground.

BLU facade WIP for Thermic Springs:

 

[Dr. Sasha]

Very nice-looking geometry, Captain Clam.

May I suggest you use for the two curved 'pillars' in front of the building to use a white concrete texture instead of the blue one used before it? It would add texture variation and look much more Valve-like

Sounds cool. I'll try it.

 

[radarhead]

Like this?

 

[Zed]

Looks pretty nice.

 

[SSX]

Maybe add a line of blue somewhere through that plaster of white, just to give it variation.

 

[RubbishyUser]

Yeah, I think it needs an additional overlay sign somewhere. And something is definitely up with that roof, but we can't really see it from this angle.

 

[Dr. Sasha]

Perfect, exactly what I was thinking, Captain Clam

Perhaps a bold logo somewhere?

Not sure what you mean, what's up with the roof?

 

[Pocket]

It's a roof. What isn't up with it?

In all seriousness, though, you seem to have an angled roof that's textured in the same basic blue as the wall; it's a little weird.

 

[Ælement]

Still trying to make this work.

 

[Another Bad Pun]

It's still in pre-alpha, but I think I've come a long way anyway: :cool1:


<3 cool1

 

[Sheltr]

So I started working on a new map which at first was going to be an arena map. but ended up being a mid for a CP map.

 

[Freyja]

First compile, hooray. So much stuff looks bad in game. But most of it looks cool.

Also the red roof stays. I think it's cool.

I love the Granary theme, it needs to be used more often. Great job so far Aly!

 

[puxorb]

Manoman: I love the vibe that map gives off. It looks like a scorching hot desert. Can't wait to see what it turns into!

And Aly: That looks really nice as well. Granary theme is the most underrated of them all.



And to everyone else: It's nice to see all this progress on the work-in-progress thread!
