WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Reposting this seeing as the forum ate my post last time.

Combining wood and steel framing is unusual, and it's not unrealistic for wood joists to span that length.

This window frame looks like it belongs in a bunker or an explosives testing facility, purely because of the texture on the inside of the window frame. I'd make the whole frame that generic grey metal texture. As an aside, glass doesn't have to be placed in the direct center of the frame. While this window is a lot more detailed than you should ever really make it in a map, it should give you an idea of how the glass is attached closer to the outside of the house than the inside.

Oh well, that is far below my expectation.
I think I can continue with my project. Thanks

lol look at the lightmap under the tracks

 

[Asd417]

Is it because it was compiled with fast mode?

5 Stars map, 1975 Evaluation, I love that workshop.

 

[Viemärirotta]

That good ol' workshop.

 

[Asd417]

people outside tf2maps.net give 5 stars to any completed maps with no visible dev textures

 

[Viemärirotta]

More like everybody outside of mapping communities/have little to none knowledge about mapping will want the map in the game just for the looks. Just. For. The. Looks.






ps: then complain on the forums how shit the map is in their option

 

[Asd417]

True, but at the same time, Most of them ignored the fact that all that author did is changing some texts and adding some random Halloween light post in a random location. (Sigh)
Also, They give no star at all to all the alpha maps while giving all the positive rating to Orange.
Valve should promote mapping community a bit more so that people are aware of how some of the most basic things work around here.
But again, Valve already did it with cosmetics community and now we get banana heads.

This is how so much garbage ends up on Greenlight. The general public cannot handle so much responsibility!
Just as a social experiment I want to put up my first map on the Workshop, see how far it gets before people figure out it plays like ass

So this is general Hammer WiP thread, not just TF2 themed? Awesome!

This place is more a community of peers than an actual tf2 mapping site tbh.

Something I made in Reflex while trying to learn the editor, which is fully in-game btw. No 3d views, you literally create and edit brushes in real time. So you can do changes to the map even when people are playing it, it's absolutely awesome, even if it is a little bit clunky compared to 2d viewports.

Expanded this mayan scene a bit:

It's really fun to play around with Mayan architecture.

oh my, the laser on top is a nice touch despite the fact that it makes no sense at all. Good work!

@Di Gorgonzola Please tell me this is actually for a map, and not just some detailing practice?
