CS: S Map (cs_church) WIP

I started this church map for CS: S. So far, it seems to be coming along well. I am using some of my own textures.

The sanctuary is VERY rough. It will have a some side areas, a podium, etc. I'm hoping this will turn out really well. I know there are some problems with cubemaps (the really shiny hands), but those will all be fixed once I finish the map.

The wall texture and the tan carpet texture are really crappy. I'm gonna make a better version of those soon ..., hopefully.

Also, this is based off of a real location.

Yeah, right now the lights are just there. Once I build the rest of the building, and get an light_environment in there, then I'll start tweaking the lights.

The lights right now are just fillers. Once I build the building, then I'm going to go back and see how many lights are in what locations and then tone them accordingly.

Also, compiling the map isn't really that much of a problem. It only takes about a minute (probably less) to build the entire thing. In fact, I think VRAD is the shortest of the three.

Also, I suggest you spend time finishing one small area before attempting any other section of the map. This helps you avoid future problems, and lets you carry a consistent theme throughout the map once one is established.

I've expanded on the sanctuary a bit.

Pretty much all of these textures are fillers right now.

Thanks. I don't necessarily think it's too early for screenshots, I think it's moreover that I'm taking too many, especially on the little details.

Anyhow, yes indeed, I will continue to work in this. Maybe I'll post a few more screenshots once the upstairs is finished.

lol

Well, I'm trying to make it look as close to the real one as possible. I guess the church I'm mapping doesn't look too much like a church. :Þ

I've been sick these past few days, so I haven't worked on it for a while. I'll be working on it again soon.

It's been a while since I've worked on this map (over 2 weeks). Everytime I go I keep on forgetting to bring my camera with me. >_<

Anyhow, I've added a couple new things and put in some better looking textures. I know I haven't added that many new areas, but they will be in there soon.

First off, I've updated the carpet and wall textures, added a nice little overlay to the walls of the sanctuary, and made better looking textures for one of the shelves.

From these two screenies you can see how the foyer has changed since the first time I've posted.

The stairs now look closer to the real thing. The second screeny is just to show off the physbox.

I have added another area that contains a couple of physboxes.

For the desk in the cry room. I couldn't get a good pictures of it without the flash (for the texture). So I'll have to do with the shiny spot on the texture.

Now that I've gotten these areas pretty much completed, I'll be moving on to the other side areas of the upstairs.

NOTE: All these screenies were taken with only the VBSP build of the map. I didn't run VVIS and VRAD. I just wanted to get the map built so I could see if everything was working properly.

offtopic.. geocities sucks... its continue unavailable..

ontopic.. i agree with junks.
Have you any idea what the map will look like in the end (where the hostages are/ spawnpoints etc), or do you map a room at the time , and let time deside of what your map will look like in the end?
Keep it up !

a fRon is jusT a smiLe up-sIde d0wn

Okay, I've moved all of the pictures to ImageShack and have changed all of the URLs to the ImageShack images.

So, now you guys don't have to deal with Geocities telling you that my bandwidth limit has been reached after looking at four pictures. :Þ

Okay, so here's what it looks like with lighting. Remember, the lighting is only temp for now, until I get in an env_light and start matching it up with the real thing.
