Could always just use a 3d modeling program to make the tree instead of using brushes.

Can't you get a joke when you see one?

[Usaf_pararescue]

Not a very funny joke.

This is the start of something I've been kind of working on for the past month, on and off.

It looks really low poly.
I'd suggest loading up a tree model for R&L and looking at how they did theirs, then try to emulate it.
You need more 'tris'. I'd suggest making each branch sections shorter, then dragging the vertexes in and out to make it look more natural and less box like. As well, make a "Branches" texture to place along the upper tree branches, it will make it look a lot more natural.

Edit:
Oh, it was a joke? Well, why not finish it? As Oskutin said, Propper it.

Aside from obvious porno lighting and 'nanners, what else can I put in there?

I suspect i'm not the only one seeing stiffy's joke as pointless spam.

3 posts. Compared to the hundreds of posts about your mod (not even source engine) and diverting topics to whales.

How is that spam?

What mod? It's a fucking game. And my posts go in the right section, ie yap and blabber, for off topic and mental chat.

[GameDev]

Yeah but stiffy your jokes are terrible and you dont really need to post calvin and hobbes every page

Typical, i post in the pimpage section for the first time in ages, and it's in response to stiffy's spam. That kinda sucks.

Wow. Grow up.

Still pretty new to Hammer even though I have 46 hours in it, so here's a few screenshots from the map I started working on yesterday.

About an hour or two after starting, I came up with this.

Day1

Maybe about an hour ago, I completed much more than I had expected to do when I first started making the map.

Day2_1

Day2_2

Around 10 minutes ago, I had messed with light_environment to make it a little darker to make it more like night while making the ambient light a little more noticeable. I am satisfied with the results. I still feel like I could make it better.

Day2_3

Since then, I've also fixed the light entities to blend in more with the light_environment settings which isn't noticeable in the screenshots.

Any criticisms?

[CRASHFORT]

Good start, keep going.

[TurtleeyFP]

Right now, it just looks really bland. There's nothing that catches the eye, or any interesting colors. CS:S is probably the worst engine to make a city in, there's not really any good city content (excluding assault). I'd suggest finding some way to add some variety to the textures, walls and floors, like stains, graffiti, vents, etc.

What game do people use with map creation in Hammer? Specifically the best one to use, if there is a best one to use.

The best for a city would either be any of the Left 4 Dead's or CSGO

[Kopimi]

i got carried away and did lighting and texturing and all sorts of stuff lol

i think i'm going to develop the surface more before i create the actual metro, because the metro will mean modeling huts and stuff and ugh i don't want to even think about it

Edited:

by create the metro i mean put content in it so its a bustling metro like in 2033 rather than an empty underground metro

I have the CSGO beta, but I can't seem to access the content through Source SDK. Is there something I need to do to get it there?

CSGO has its own Authoring tools, check for it in the tools tab.

Cityscape map for TTT / SFM. This is using the half life 2 night time skybox until I can get Firegod's to work right.

They look really decent from a distance.

Also improving the skybox n' other shit

[hear me purr]

nice to see some quality posts instead of bitching about who is more mature than the other.

nice work guys. loving those trees, grenade man.

Thanks to firegod's help, I got his skybox working!

I'm aware of the lighting errors and spots with bad lighting overall, I'll need to work some more on them.

The outside lighting actually looks good. Your brushwork is okay. I'd suggest adding a lot more to fill in the overall bland look of the map. I suggest large unenterable skyscrapers. an mountains in the distance.

[wauterboi]

I can see a lot of tiling on that wall. This might be on of those times where you should make your own gigantic texture to tile! :D

I make my own textures when nothing else seems to fit.
