The new cave texture does wonders to improve the atmosphere of the map.

I really like your voice.

 

[RataDeOrdenador]

That voice is just...

BTW,this does NOT look like a hotel... for now. ;V

Spoiler: Dat Hotel

Spoiler: Reference (sort of)

And yes,the hotel is going to be called "SandMann Hotel"

That's my I'm bored with 20 hours of no sleep voice

Lovely waterfall @fubarFX, the bottom level seems to have a little harsh of a transition though.
For the dangling leaves, have you disabled using surface normal for vertex lighting? if that on it's own doesn't do it, I'd recommend also disabling self shadowing and the combination of those two should give a much nicer lighting for that type of prop.

 

[fubarFX]

I'll give it an other try but most of the lighting problems in this area come from the fact that the light comes straight down which has been giving me many headaches.

"SandMann Hotel"

I like it

 

[Corvatile]

More Genesis detailing and more ugly lighting

Fairly happy with this building but I suspect it will look 100 times better when it isn't surrounded by grossness

Inside that building

And a cheeky hitchiker on the payload:

 

[Muddy]

Looks fancy pancy, but..

There's something off about that staircase on the right. It looks really flat. Might look better as a slope instead.

It looks really long, it might be better shortened and the top flat piece being longer

I made a big goofy dragon head statue thing for rolling the PL into. Maybe try and do a big explosion and temple collapsing effect.

Stupid Mayans didnt know how to make arches though apparently so I'm gonna redo this whole thing with straight pillars and make it more of a cylinder than a dome, thought I may as well post it before i delete it because I thought the arches were fun. Stupid Mayans

My first map in Hammer. its called mvm_oilrig. Very WIP
EDIT: sorry for the weapons blocking view, forgot to go spectate mode...

 

[Empyre]

Having the map dark looks good, but plays very poorly because a player can't see what team another player is on.

"Very WIP". He'll definetly add more light... I hope.

Yet it looks really good for your first map... and going with MvM? I failed so hard with a PL map. Hopefully you don't go the same way as me. xD

@Hinur There is already an established MvM map called Oilrig: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=463499205
I would suggest finding a new name to avoid confusion.

Abraham Lincoln didn't invent stairs either. I don't think historical accuracy is all that critical in this game.

I will change the name then, something like foundry.

yeah, I'll look into adding more light, this was just a rough draft of light so I could see where I was going. #

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll continue working and post an update soon.

FYI, Foundry's also already taken by a Valve map already in the game.

Alright, perhaps mvm_oilfield?
