CS:S [de_prypyat]

[Menno21]

Hello Interlopers.net

I am working on a ambandoned map, like the real place prypyat.
Prypyat ( chernobyl )is my inspiration to make this level for counterstrike.
Swimmingpool is based like the real one, all the rest is just imagination.

Any tips, comments, advice are welcome and nessecary to complete this map well

Here some wip pictures ingame:


swimmingpool, my idea to make a bombspot ?


swimmingpool, vieuw from entrance from upperhall way


ambandoned closet rooms


Gym, bombspot A


Vieuw from outside


Vieuw from outside, my inspiration stops left of the walking lane, any ideas?


Upperhal (connection between gym and swimmingpool)


Counter-Terrorist Spawn


Basemant ( Entrance ) Hallway, little bit dark, but I need to hold in mind there is no electricity..

Hope for some usefull comments ( specialy, how to make the ambandoned feeling outside?, thanx alot!

Looking really nice. For the second pic I'd apply some smoothing groups on the skewed wall brush and you should also 'face' the texture correctly so it doesnt look stretched.

[Sathor]

I am rather impressed. I can't even make my usual suggestions to add pillars to the walls and such stuff, because you already did that stuff. Good work!

[Ark11]

Add some colour correction. Otherwise looks good.

Thanks for this advice, It was not get my attention before! I will apply some smoothing and correct the "face".

Thanks alot!

Were exacly you like to see some colour correction? I think mainly the outside area.. giving it a more older, not maintained look?.. Thanks!


- How can I give the outside area a best abandonned look? ( using other textures? more darker?)
small inspiration example:

[Sathor]

Well, your current lightning is very warm. Play a bit of Stalker and try to use a similar greyish lightning. The indoor areas I'd suggest trying to add more blue, while outdoors trying to get a more brownish look.

Just play with the values

[Major Banter]

Less bright green. Use a more overgrown road texture. It's too clean.

[Jordash]

I love that pool area, good job

[Sathor]

Use a more overgrown road texture. It's too clean.

Now I notice the tree in the middle of the street. I agree with Banter, of course. And you should go further. Use displacements for the road. Around the tree it needs to be lifted up. With some modelling skill you can even have roots coming out of the surface of the road!

Not sure if it's intentional but the map name doesn't seem to match the different ways of spelling the city:

Prypiat (Ukrainian: При́п'ять, Pryp’at’; Russian: При́пять, Pripyat’)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prypiat

Looking nice though, very authentic! If you need some more reference shots I have a few of the pool in this set.

Working on it now), I am not skilled enough in lightning yet, but practice and try, i will come far!
Reading about collor correction, cause I only used a ambient lightning. so far

Had that in mind already! thanks for the tip, will work on that.

Working on that, lift up the road in the middle.. and make the right and left part more to the ground ?
About my modelling skills, its 0 but try to figure some out!

My bad, you are very right! thanks) lucky the map has no name yet! and its only this topic Title
By the way, I saw you visited the area in your photo collection! Nice job! very jelous guy you maked of me, I planned this summer, tickets to Kiev already bought. But the zone is closed for tourists/visitors now
I can use your references thanks for it!

Thanks for all comments so far, it really helps me out with routine and look of the map

[Stormy]

That photo has a young tree growing directly in the way of a door, that screams desolation and abandonment to me, the fact no one has been there for so long that a tree has been allowed to block a main access way for humans. I think you could augment that a bit more. Try to think about what makes the place distinctly "human-used" and then destroy that functionality with nature.

[zombie@computer]

Sad how that swimmingpool is probably the best known swimmingpool in the world...

Priviet Interlopers))

Have some updates about the road I fixed, added all comments to the map.
About the lightning and color correction for outside (browning and greying)I need some help, I cant figure it out at my own)

Pictures (WIP):


Added displacemants in the road, grass and decals, dead tree in front of the main entrance

Ok, it looks really good, so anything I say is just trying to help to improve something good!

1st screen:

Most likely the curb would break with stuff growing over from the lawn before anything grows in the middle of the street. The bushes are too many, use them only carefully and perhaps rather in groups - like a single one here, then two of them there and so on.

2nd screen:

Where did the missing tiles go? If you "destroy" something, think about the consequences! How the rubbish would behave and where it would remain.
