WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

The material looks great. You may want a complimentary material that has some rougher texture to it to help accent the edges and perhaps even the top surfaces how crumbly ice looks. You could even make a nice blend that goes to a dark dirty ice gray.

is this crumbly?

Now we need a clear ice texture that refracts the underlying surface in real-time and add a func_fish_pool under it.

Does it have normal maps?

Refraction only works with func_brush, which would mean bouncy stickies.

This is snow texture + cubemap + ssbump.
None of these things are custom made. All ingame already.

Hahaha, possibly too crumbly.

That image sans the cracks is kind of what I had imagined, that kind of snowy ice that's tightly packed but still reflective. Not quite snow, yet not quite solid ice so it has that somewhat uniform semi-gloss texture to it.

Guess the map!

It... doesn't...

I had a real-time refraction texture on my map for the 2014 Detail contest (the elevator doors behind the spawn position). Those things weren't even func_detail'd. Just world brushes.

cp_glassworks_spoooky?

I highly doubt that

It's cp_glassworks, the chandelier looking ropes in the foreground are around the doomsday devices above last.

I was hoping it was a Wubwubwub sequel that was completely pitchblack except for neon lights around.

Just finished making some extremely-clean sign textures for the Arctic Theme Pack:

I imagine this delves into more of the spytech side of the theme. I might make more to designate the payload, as well as some arrows. Enjoy (I stuck to the palette this time)!

Oh, and a special thanks to Crash for this wonderful tutorial!

I'm liking the contrasts, but I feel like they could use something else. I'm not sure what, though. Maybe more worn?

I like these! I'm not sure about the thin black outline they have - those looks a little strange to me. But I can definitely imagine these in an arctic setting.

I see where you get that from, as many of the similar stock signs are worn. Still, I don't think I'll be applying that technique here, as I wanted to give a viable option to flesh out clean, sterile environments in maps. The wall texture might've not been the best choice to convey this...

I think that rescaling the overlay would help, and I can see the texture being used as the 'defining sign' of a capture point (the large sign right above or to the side of the designated area).

Thanks to both for the feedback. I might personally use these textures in a map of my own, and then we'd be able to truly get a grasp of how they would look and function in a gameplay space.

Here's a quick update on the status of the spray paint can:

Next up would probably be to add some wear-and-tear to the label. And remember, this in actuality should be pretty small (just like a real-life paint can!)

 

[radarhead]

If it's going to be something so small, I'd go for a simpler texture like the spawnroom spray can does. Currently, a can like that would be hard to identify on a shelf with that wraparound text.
