I can give you some of my life. Obviously, you have none
No, really amazing work! The detail is overwhelming.

[ThePain]

Those screenshots are so amazing...but... the sky looks so cartoony. it just doesn't fit with the (very) realistic look of the world.

[mky]

I think the sky fits fantastically!

[Mess]

pretty much dicks on anything i've seen in a long time

one thing i would suggest for gameplay-purposes is to reduce the brightness of ambient light so that you get more contrast and darker places for special infected to hide

[Vilham]

yeah thats incredible joe.

[R26]

Shiny!

Joe, I know someone mentioned this earlier in this thread, but I'll say it again: Those screenshots doesn't look just good. THEY LOOK FUCKING PHOTO REALISTIC. Pic 3 and 4 in particular. Seriosuly, at first glance, you don't know whether you're looking at a screenshot or a photograph. That's damn impressive, to say at least.

thanks for the complements guys, so noone notice I got detail sprites to appear in L4D? Not that its technically hard or anything, just saves alot of hammer time. I have so far used no refernce photos to make this scene save the first three buildings to appear in here, which i then ghettofied. As far as everything else goes, its off the top of my head.
@ ThePain, heres my light_env settings ripped straight from the VDC

sky name
militia_hdr

Sun Angle
0 298 0

Sun Pitch
-60

Brightness
235 222 177 600

Ambience
75 92 118 400

And no I haven't spent countless hours on this, in fact it's rather hard to find time to work on this. lol

[srredfire]

Did you take the pictures for the textures? Or where did you find them? Obviously without these amazing textures it wouldn't look AS good, ( not offense ), but seriously, how did you get these amazing textures? They look so lifelike.

[joe_dirt976]

actually the only custom textures are a couple of road signs, the highway sign, and the stripes on the road. The rest is what L4D shipped with. Oh yeah and the sky which i made with VUE

[mky]

STOP

Disable the shadows on you garbage props.

hmm i dont like the L4D grain though.
sunny + Grain looks strange.
i think you can turn it off in options.

Yeah, it looks awesome, but if you turn off the grain it will look even more awesome.
