After a little break (due to all the awesomegames that have come out) we have finished out latest map, Testament. This map takes place on a Mars militart outpost that is old and rundown. We used many custom models and a custom skybox to really make this map feel unique!

I kinda wish I could map as good as you... Would you mind posting some tutorials? It'd be helpful.
I second that. If you have time I'm sure many of us would appreciate a tutorial or two on how you do some of your advanced, neat little tricks ;)
I never thought the Source engine could handle that level of detail. You guys must be pushing the boundaries! How do you tell when to stop? Is there some sort of benchmark that you're working by?
Good job on this mod!
A big part of the look is $detail. Developer.valvesoftware.com
Looks good. Really packed with detail. Nice custom props.

Keep it coming! Your Skills are awesome!
Sweet. But the Lighting is very poor. In the most maps of your mod it's just like RBG 200 200 200 .. more colors an fog would bring a lot more athmosphere !
Nice map lighting needs to be improved plus use env_cubemaps.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
About the lighting comments. I did infact use env_cubemaps, and I was going for a dull lighting atmosphere because the base is old and decrepid. I didn't want to overlight and I thought fog wouldn't look realistic on Mars.
:)
It isnt just that map on which the lighting is really crappy .. and if this map is setted on mars, why do you use this rbg 200 200 200 ****. Sry, but i think this are some bad excuses.
I think you could improve your maps alot with a better lighting. Think about it ! ;)
looked like unreal 3 for a sec.. wow
The RGB fot my lighting is 255 210 210. I did at one build make it much more red. But it didn't accentuate the shadow effects I wanted. It made all the shadows have a reddish look to then, which in my opinion looked horrible. So I toned down the redness of the lighting to get those cool shadow effects. They are not "bad excuses" I think of everything when it comes to lighting. Your thoughts are just opinions from someone who has radically different(and bad) opinions on lighting and validate them as "the correct way to light."
