Work on my map koth_roadstead. This is pre alpha.
View from spawn. Map theme is about a coal port. Those props are just to set the feel in my mind while I map, not necessarily set in stone. Note: I haven't placed any lights yet, this is just the power of the sun.
View of the capture point. Of course, the coal port is just a facade for a secret rocket launch that the control point sits on. The lighting is messed up, but I'm not too concerned for it just yet. I'll note that the random computers on the left are place holders for what may become the missile controls so if they look odd and out of place to you, there's a good reason.
Overview shot. There is glass in the top right dark window there, I just messed up the texture.

I hope I got this right. GIMP is a b- with transparency.

Do you like brushwork crates? Well this is the map for you!
CP_Soma is technically working. No optimization, no clipping, Blue doesn't have a spawn room, but technically working. If I crammed I could probably get it presentable by the next gameday, but what with the April Fools gameday going on, I'm not completely sure there will be one, so I think I'll take my time
The point I have done I had originally intended to be Cap A, but it has turned out harder to assault than I intended so I may make it into Cap B.
Bot tests I ran showed Blue had great difficulty capping, but that probably had more to do with the fact that they spent more time tripping over geometry than they did fighting, so we'll see
When designing the layout I tried to employ verticallity to do... something, I don't know, it's kind of a mess. The end product will probably bear only a passing resemblance to the map it is now
Plus, I whipped together my own Tag! Does this mean I'm in the club now?

You are the roast beef! You're in the club sandwich after all.
Jokes aside, I believe I have fixed my leaks once and for all. But I got a new monitor so I'm not sure if it's too bright! Could anyone take a look for me?
Spent a bunch of the day starting detail (mostly displacing) of the B point of Rebirth (cos I'm happy enough with that bit), and some other big gameplay changes on A and C. Tryna go for a whole fairytale forest vibe (big mushrooms and bright trees and junk)
I've not touched lighting at all or props much but I wanna get some of that in there. Buildings next, yay (then maybe 3D sky? not sure if I should do that if the other bits of the map are pretty alpha still)

My entry to the intel room contest
(my first post here I hope I didn't break any rules)
This is awesome. I think you should turn up your lightmaps in general to catch the shadows better, but what I really think you should do is set up your lighting so that one of those nicely shaped windows casts a long shadow on the floor, use brush work or blocklights and a high lightmap power so you get a really crisp shadow of the shape of the window spread onto the floor to really show off the architecture. I also think that scene would just love some god rays and dust motes too but that might be overdoing it heh
I dont know if its bad form to post pics from an existing thread but here is my baby, first version of my first Tf2 map
