Interlopers.net Forum - Half-Life 2 News & Tutorials

Hello, my name is Brian, I'm new to mapping and found your little forum. Been stalking awhile but decided to create and account. You seem like a group of very intelligent people that can make good maps. It would be great to get some feedback on my work.


I only started it a few days ago so go easy please.

I look forward to many years of coming to this forum.

Ah, welcome! To start off, you could make the bloom not as bright.

There shouldn't be extremely thin buildings either. And all of those floors and windows protruding on nearly every building just look odd .

Look at how valve maps things, then try to re-create it.

That tutorial may help you get started on buildings

'Hey, man. Welcome.
I like your work and I think it looks good, 'but the buildings look a bit cramped, unless that's how the builders inside of the game thought it would look. 'Either way, I like it, but you can slightly lower the bloom, I think it should still stay pretty bright, but try and lower the strength of it to match the skybox, if you can.
