Trying to experiment with lighting.
I really like the look of the sun being cast from behind the rooftops, but I feel like the RED bases should have the fronts lit, with BLU's in shadow, to work with the brightness and ambience.
Also the sunlight's supposed to cut through the corner. I can't tell which is better.

Thanks for the feedback on my previous picture. I have reduced the number of fluorescent lamps and changed from using point_spot to using a func_brush using world space glow with a gradient texture. On an unrelated point, Here's a bit of a cave in the same map.

Spoiler: Picture

I'm re-detailing lumberyard to look more like the concept art (and also add a bit of my own flavor to it)

(Roofs on this are a bit weird, I'll fix that)

Also it turns out that I really like making 3D skyboxes. I like trying to make it feel like there is actually a world outside of the playspace.

EDIT: I'll also probably release a KotH version as well, even though it probably won't play all that well.

Idk why but can't upload new images when I edit a post :/

New japan-themed pl project. Lets see how it turns out...

Barren is now fully finished.

After all this time, Hammering out a new Alpha still feels wonderful.

Ooh! Angles!

I love it already

Makin' an SFM map

I took a fair bit of inspiration from the early badlands concepts. I think it's going pretty good, probably gonna make a blu version soon.

The rock texture looks weird

The beta rock. There are some in dustbowl stage 1.

it's been awhile

maybe this angle is more familiar

Credits mostly go to Freyja.

So for a school project, I'm making a hammer map. Tell me if this seems note worthy enough to be shown off.

(that's a death hole. Don't go in there)

Buildings could use some beams and maybe a sign here and there.

Also a skybox would be pretty dandy, but I imagine you've got that planned already

That's already a skybox, sky_haze I think

 

[Tumby]

I'm pretty sure he meant 3D Skybox

 

[I dinne ken]

That makes sense, but he could've specified. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Assuming the sides of the hole are separate displacements surfaces from the flat ground, you should texture them with a darker earth texture (one of the ground* textures) or a dusty rock texture.
I also think those raised buildings on the side with the grain conveyor belt between them could have supports beneath. Otherwise, yeah, very impressive!
