UPD: All DMCA removed from my addons and another user. Justice has prevailed. Thanks to the adequate work of Steam moderators. 😎
1. I found the thief, he had previously posted my works without permission, this was somewhere in March 2022. Then I was also able to get the content removed and blocked the user on Patreon.
So who is this:

Today my morning was bad again. It seems the thief has not calmed down, this time he was simply not lazy and threw DMCA strikes on all my past works in the workshop related to GTA V. I don’t understand what he is trying to achieve and how he is going to prove his right to these products.
If moderators on Steam delete everything without looking, I will simply post these works on Patreon for free.

It seems that all the stolen addons have been deleted, at least through the links or through the available “all” works of this profile they are no longer available. 👍
Meanwhile I'm making Trevor's trailer 😸
Things seem to be moving. The casino penthouse map and content has already been removed. I had to spend a significant amount of time filling out DMCA statements for each of the 12 workshop products. (there is a completely inadequate captcha there).
Also, apparently the person who uploaded all this started spamming me in the steam comments from three accounts at once, and started spamming me wit...

Today I was informed that the casino map was again stolen by some “KenyaVR” and "Nastya" and passed off as his own. Please press the report button and let us know about it.

Hi people.
As usual, things didn't go according to plan. I wanted to rest - failed. I wanted to make a small map - failed. I wanted to make a small piece of the environment around - failed.
In general, at the end of the month, I caught some kind of infection, I still have digestive problems, strange random pains... I run to the doctors, take tests, today I will probably find out what is wrong with me. It has also become very cold here, and at the same time I have caught a cold, I ...

Hello. Damn, again at the last moment SFM gave me an unexpected gift, I spent another hour trying to fix the reflections on the map.
In general, almost the final version of Franklin's house on the hills. Perhaps during August I will make several corrections, I corny again did not meet the month.

Hello. Two years later, I still took up Franklin's house on the hill. In general, somewhere around 2/3 of the month I killed for the construction of the very geometry of the house. Ask any mapper on SE, trying to build geometry at an angle and diagonally is just hell. Until now, there are a lot of all sorts of imperfections, I will still redo a lot, everything can change, all models can move.

Damn it. I regretted a hundred times that I decided to take on this project. I did not expect that he would give me such a gigantic amount of problems. I did not expect that I would encounter so many polygonal models, inadequate content, a bunch of materials that I had to manually find, view a text file, find textures, find the color of the skin, tighten texture tiling data. I almost had to make many models from scratch, they had some inadequate number of polygons, not even needed for the Unr...

Hello. This month I got sick again and did not have time to complete the map, the progress is somewhere around 40%.
Also, I always forget how many unexpected difficulties the port with Unreal Engine brings. I have almost no coordinates, I have to look for every texture, every bump map, look for the color that tints the texture and even how often it is tiled on the model, it takes a huge amount of time.
I also have to adapt some models and completely rework them so that they are su...

I present to you the works of three months: Michael's house from gta v. All rooms are present and even two that the developers seem to have cut out during the development process. I turned one of them into a workshop, the second is located on the second floor and it is empty, you can place some of your models there.
I tried to transfer the exterior of the house as accurately as possible. Various dirt and overlays on t...

Once I was asked: why don't you just take the original model of some building, apartment, etc. Why are you building everything from scratch with brushes. Here's your answer, Source Engine 1 is not able to correctly illuminate models, and even more so such large ones. You can't even make different properties for different walls, or use more than 32 textures per model. Because of this, I recreate the level geometry from scratch, and it takes a lot more time, but the result is worth it.

The heading "a few screenshots" is on the air. I decided to share with you the current progress, I really hope that I will have time to finish everything this month, every day I face a bunch of problems, something breaks that already worked perfectly before.

Changes:
- Minor fixes
- Completed the second floor and all rooms
- Started to build the outer walls of the building (WIP)
- Built a garage
I plan:
- In March, completely finish the house from the inside and build around the yard, pool, court and everything that is in the original to the fence.

Hello. After 5 years of porting locations from gtav and gaining experience, I nevertheless decided to take on a big project, namely Michael's house.
This is not a small project and most likely it will stretch for another 2 months. In February, I plan to complete the second floor completely.
Two more additional bonus rooms and the exterior of the building will be added next, most likely along with the pool and court at the back of the house. This version will be only for $5+ subscr...

Hello. Here is a small map with Aunt Franklin's house from gta v. As usual, there were many plans, many of them did not come true, but at least I completed the interior itself.
In general, as usual, in the _sfm_fixes folder you will find the corrected vmt for sfm so that the mirror is not transparent. It was not possible to make a mirror in the aunt's bedroom, 2 out of 3 of its parts reflected something from under the map.
Bathroom mirror is called "mirror_bathroom". Command to ac...

An example of constant self-improvement, on the left a ported model in December 2019, on the right - December 2022. I'm ashamed of myself and I want to redo the apartments that I have laid out in the steam workshop, this map has not met my quality standard for a long time. 🤔

Today I received an email from Payoneer. They stop working with Russian users in December. The only payment I can get from you is for November. After December 8, that's it. The news for me is very bad, I have less than a month to find some workaround that does not seem to exist, because I had only two options, PayPal and Payoneer, and both of them refused to work in Russia.
As an alternative, I suggest someone who can move to my boosty next month. Boosty can be paid with PayPal....

I bit off more than I could chew. I should have looked more closely at the source material. These were levels that were only used in cutscenes, as a result of which all the sizes are mixed up, the textures of the city are very low quality, I had to draw almost all of them from scratch, trying to fit the buildings to an adequate size, even the diner building from the outside turned out to be 1/3 narrower than the interior. In general, I'm exhausted, I don't want to see this damn card anymore, ...

A question for those who really live somewhere in New York or America: did I guess correctly that this model was supposed to be a phone booth? I'm asking because it's not completely finished and it's the most complete model I could find in the game, so I'll need to place the phones inside??? Right ?
Last month I didn't feel well and barely managed to finish at least the GYM myself. In the same month, it seems that the disease has progressed even more, I sleep almost all the time, it's hard for me to be at the computer, I managed to make several buildings, but it turned out that I again mixed up the dimensions as it was with the island and built them almost 2 times more (maybe even more) than I should, I will have to redo everything again.
Trying to find the right dimensions is the ...
