I tried converting the C building on Gravelpit to a Gorge-like style. I haven't added any lights yet, besides the env_light.

How well did I do?

Just wondering, are you going to add dino sounds and maybe some breath to indicate that there are some dinos in there like in opening scene from Jurassic Park? Gives a bit more life to the map I think. Anyways keep up the amazing work man.

Making the cages shake a bit from time to time would be a nice touch!

Most of these are supposed to be empty (these cages are replacements for those generic red shipping containers i have scattered around the map)

Plus those cages are meant for transporting things, not storing them.

i love that one of the road signs is made of this totally superfluous tech. Next step is "solar freakin roadways". Looks great, Darren

So I;ve added an additional exit from blu spawn in stage 1:

But im not too happy with it.
I may toss out that rock pillar in favor of an arch leading over the river, but im not sure yet.

Suggestions?

Haven't mapped for about 3 months now, so I am making a 2-cp A/D because I don't know any better.

I don't know what to do after the first point right now, so I'm going to keep whacking at it.

 

[Muddy]

it's always a good idea to keep whackin it

 

[Benoist3012]

Im been making doors with brushes because i dont know how 2 prop

I hope you won't hit the brushes limit, and it looks so cool.

Wave goodbye to old warehouse in stage 2. Welcome the new Security station:

Well, we are still (kinda) on that time of year, so here you have a bit of detailling practise:

 

[Crowbar]

I honestly love it when kinda new people pull off mapping skills beyond "dunno wtf I'm doing".

 

[Tutankabron]

Actually I have been here more or less like four years, but I only write once in a while, and I'm that awful at designing real playable maps that I only post random detailling stuff here and there

 

[Crowbar]

Whatever, that, polished up a bit, is real cool.

A few tips: it looks like the texture on the handrailings is misaligned, remember to use Alt+right click to align it to the face. (Here's a tutorial in case you didn't know how to do that.) I also think that the wood texture on the side of the stairs should be rotated 90 degrees, making it horizontal (just my personal opinion). And it would seem as if the carpet is underneath some of the wood posts at the side of the stairs; I would recommend placing it as an overlay instead of texturing the brush with it; that way you could also rotate it slightly to make it look more realistic. These are all just little nitpicks though, looks great!

Thanks for the input, I forget to align the handrail, but thanks for the reminder anyway. About the stairs, I think the most logical way to build it would be cutting the wodden planks vertically, instead of horizontally as you suggested.

I already noticed the rug while I was working with it. Some mansions cut their biggest carpets sometimes when they don't fit with the house ornamentations, so I suppose that can be an excuse. Also, it is a prop, not a textured brush. I don't remember any tf2 carpet overlays that are not that two green and red manor textures.

Thanks for the help anyway

If you want to resize the rug, you could make it a prop_dynamic and change the Scale field to something like 0.75 ( although it doesn't show up with the changed scale in the editor).
