I moved this here from the model section as I was looking for tree models there, it's a castle type map slightly bigger than dust2 I suppose, there is still a long way to go on this but it's coming along. The lighting and sky is not final that will all be changed as well as a custom texture set.

Sweet! It reminds me of one of the maps from the Cube engine (which is a good thing). The ground in the first shot could use some displacements and the hole in the ceiling would look great with a light beam. Other than that, it looks awesome!

I did do a light beam it's a model actually but maybe I should try a brighter brush based one.

Wow, looks really good. Some nice brushwork.


But I agree, you do need some new tree models : P

Also you need a better transition between the stone and grass in the first pic

seee we don't bash your map right away

I am not overly fond of that texture anyway doesn't fit well, it's from militia I think. May look at changing it.

nice work. The lighting is IMO a bit bland [maybe because its a multiplayer map]. And the shadows that are showing seem to be off to where they should be.
Have you tried any other variations on outside lighting?

In my first post

The lighting and sky is not final that will all be changed...

Yeah lighting is a bit bland from what ive seen in the screenshots a bit darker bluish lightning would match better with the skybox (as seen in the second screenshot)

Hmm I agree the lighting is a bit bland, perhaps you could-
N'ah I'll shut up I read your post ^^

I can't really fault the architecture and geometry of it, one look at screenshots 7 and 8 said that. I know some parts aren't finished yet so I expect the rest of the map will begin to look a bit more like that'. It looks nice so far. Perhaps when you get to the stage of tweaking the lighting you might wanna detail the higher points a bit more? It's not massively important right now, but maybe some archer slits, (Could just be a decal to keep performance up, since you won't get too close to them) few more decorative brushes and func_detail-worthy architecture goin' on.

I'd love to see a catapult or trebuchet somewhere in there xD Not necessarily working, but it'd become a trademark to the map
