so, textures, ive spent so much time, allmost too much, looking for textures on google so i wonder if you have any comments on that? If you for example know a site that has textures, hopefully free ones because i cant afford to buy any, then tell me. :D

I have been wondering quite a time now how i could get my stuff up on moddb without creating a mod. You maybe wonder why and that is because its maps, and it could be used for a mod. Or, it can be used by me as a way to get in to a mod, a portfolio of some sort. Ive tested to do many map styles, some old, and some of my own. I can name em if you want.
Half-Life 2 or Gmod : rp_cooking, rp/gm_ratslife and rp_farmlife and that is like rp_cooking but it will be a far more extended one.
Counter-Strike:Source : dr_deathwheel, mg_ratslife, mg_trapbox and mg_planewars. mg_ is minigame maps and dr_ is deathrun maps.
There you have my work so far, sadly non of them are completed, and it will take a long time to complete them because i allways go back and do new stuff or set some finishing tutches, and that takes looong time^^

Okey, thanks alot^^

just read yer post on one of my screenshots. I can't really tell you how to make things realistic. The only thing I can tell you is that I created my own textures, based off of refference, in the case of the screenshot, it was my own area I live at. other then that I use photos for refference. I never built maps 1:1, but I take in alot of ideas on how to create a texture and then the building, or vice versa. It takes alot of effort to build a map, keep going back and add to it. after one or two months you should have quite a detailed map. Ohh yeah for me the source engine is just awesome to work with. But yeah it depends I gues on what games you like.

So, im a mapper, yes. and i would appreciate if you posted ideas here too. Maybe suggest a game, or just a plain old conversation.
