Sound. Gotta have sound.

And then this:

Dynamic shadows done perfectly.

 

[Vel0city]

Dynamic shadows done perfectly.

There's not a lot of dynamic shadows stuff going on there though. Just the Scout's shadow, but that's done on countless maps.

Speaking of which, why is it that one map has the stock top-down-view shadows, one map has both top-down-view shadows and the shadow cast by the light_environment and another map has just the fancy shadows cast by the light_environment? I mean, surely it's not some weird light_environment setting right? RIGHT?

Dynamic shadows aren't controlled by the light_environment, and it sounds like you had low and high quality shadows enabled at once. But at this point im not sure which type of shadow you mean, and especially not which maps.

Talking about these:

Shadow straight under the player's model (ignore the civilian Scout staring into your soul).

Shadow being cast in the direction the environment light is set up.

Both of these screenshots have been taken at the same graphics settings: everything maxed out except texture detail (because TF2 doesn't do memory management properly on OS X).

I like the new lighting. Proper angling makes a huge difference, especially with finer details. You still have painted overlays on glass though. Looks odd.

I recognize that! That scene is from the TF2 concept art, correct?

You really went crazy with the brushwork in a lot of your work. Are all those domes done with brushes or are they modeled? That's some high-detail shit...

 

[Yrr]

You still have painted overlays on glass though. Looks odd.

They still look painted? I made custom ones to look like decals, what could I do to make them look more like decals?

lower the opacity so they're slightly see-through and get the reflectivity properties the same as the glass it's placed on

Intercept after adjusting some light and fog

That looks awesome! But unless you know something I don't, that is not an Egyptian-style pyramid.

Thats the pyramid i did base it on.

Hi!

Most of you probably won't remember me — I am the author of cp_dusk, a map which I finished in July 2012. After that I went into a long mapping coma — lots of other things happening in my life kept me busy, but I kept checking what's going on in the mapping world from time to time anyway.

I'd like to let you know that I've recently begun working on a new mapping project (mostly detailing so far, cause that's what I've been longing for the most) and I'll be around again, so — to those of you who remember me — hello again, it's been a looong while!

Anyway, enough of my shitty welcoming speech, here are the screenshots:

That's one way to make an entrance. Holy balls. Looks fokn brilliant.

@Yrr @MaccyF I don't see any problem with Yrr's decal. Opaque images are often painted on glass is real life!

 

[Unh3lpful]

The Force has a UI right?

RED (Droids) currently has...

Smoke
Summon distraction bots
Earth quake
Force push all nearby enemies up
​

Any suggestion for BLU (Aliens)? I was thinking force push to sides and maybe rocks rising from the ground but still room for two more.
(Only two or three people per team will be force-sensitive.)

Was bored made a doom/quake thing.
