map based off of GTA3

[leadphalanx]

I got very bored a few days ago, and while playing gta 3, I thought it would be cool to make part of portland into a hl2 map.......so this is what I have so far, I have alot more to do.

oh and no, I am not making hte whole island, just that area. (harwood and part of st. marks if you've played gta3)

anyways, tell me what you think.

 

[FictiousWill]

I recognize the area - well done that's some nice brushwork.

 

[63]

Yeah I recognize the area too

 

[AtomicSpark]

Heh. Nice. Now if only you had a working sports car to drive around and shoot out of.

 

[Afterburn3r]

lol, nice job, good representation, just add a little more detail with textures, etc, and add some good lighting and it will be great

A good 3D skybox will really make this map rule

 

[Dekstar]

Man I definately remember that. It's a very good likeness!

Keep it up and release, and then get to work on another part

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Ah yes i remember this place. Theres an 8 ball to the left i think, and a fire station on the right side if i remeber correctly. It's looking really good so far, shaping up nicely.

Looks very good, but maybe once you've finished the replica you could add some Source detail

P.S. The owner of that sportscar is gonna struggle for 4 inches clearance on that incline

Just a thought, but if you worked on one small area and used the rest of portland in a 3d skybox you could have a decent DM level.

 

[Boogymanx]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice map. Very good job.

 

[Unarmed]

Hmmmm.. good start... But VIS is gonna give you troubles if you do it too big..

 

[Captain M4d]

That is very cool and well-done. Now where's 8-Ball's place?

 

[-Psy-]

Looks just like it. Looks strange though with little AF

Just a thought... for better performance (if you are going to test play it or so), make sure to taxture the roofs with NODRAW since they arent going to be seen anyways.

 

[leadphalanx]

actually.....most of them will be seen, most of the roofs will be accecable.

Just a thought... for better performance (if you are going to test play it or so), make sure to taxture the roofs with NODRAW since they arent going to be seen anyways.

besides, the performance gain would be little...

besides, the performance gain would be little...

I mapped before source came along. That has given me the habit of treasuring every polygon.

But if the rooftops are accessable then they should ofcourse not be textured in nodraw for obvious reasons.
