Halloween pumpkins

Random models, I hope someone will come in handy. Their initial quality was far from ideal.

There are 3 skins, two glow and one off. I'm not a pro in SFM rendering, I did everything I could)

VR Paradise stripclub Halloween🎃 version [SFM | Gmod]

In short: This is just a Halloween-themed version of the strip club. I did not just conduct a survey for how long before the holidays you start work))) If I'm not confusing anything, Halloween is celebrated at the end of October. 😁

The rest can be read in the main release - https://www.patreon.com/posts/vr-paradise-53645851

Sport Pack v[0.9] 😁 [SFM | Gmod]

I apologize wildly, but I did not have time to make all the models that were in this pack, there were a lot of problems, especially I regret that I also undertook to make lods, I can say I did each model from 3 to 5 times (depending on the number of lods). There were a lot of problems with the materials. I also tried to make the models in gmod look like ragdoll, but the technical capabilities of the engine did not allow me to implement this. Some models are ragdolls, but they are very difficu...

I was about 8 years ago.

An interesting find. About 8 years ago, I created my own maps for hl2, and then hl2ep2. I did not port anything, I came up with some kind of my own huge bunker, I remember there were many rooms, a dining room, bedrooms, a bar ... all this is unfortunately lost. I also built some kind of wooden house from a photo from the Internet))) And some kind of pier, it seems from Just Cause 2.  And the parking lot was partially built based on screenshots from Mafia II.

And then an arrow hit m...

Middle Eastern Courtyard [Gmod | SFM]

I decided to make this little map unexpectedly for myself. Once on twitter I saw one VR demo, but I could not start it because I do not have VR, and the usual mode was not there. But recently I found an interesting tool that allows you to activate the console in almost any game on UE4 and was able to see in full glory the location that I immediately wanted to port.

As usual, almost all my dreams were shattered about the possibility of the old engine, I have previously made posts on how ...

Thematic content

I would like to know mainly from SFM users: in how many weeks / months do you start preparing thematic posters and videos? For example, on the topic of summer holidays, Halloween, Christmas...

some screenshots...

As usual, I post a few screenshots of the future release. I really miss lightmaps on models and cascading shadows, without this all the columns and arches are evenly lit and it doesn't look pretty.

Now I will still do the night version and that I will have time from the sport pack.

Sport pack [WIP]

Hi. Here are some screenshots of the progress. I have already regretted a hundred times that I decided to port all the lods, each model has to be practically created 5 times. But lodes will be useful if I still create a map of a fitness center or gym, these models have a fairly large number of polygons (ue4) and optimization may suffer.

The rest of the project is still standing still, I want to at least finish one thing to the end. I also caught a cold and spent 4 days in bed altogether...

When your dreams crash against the old engine

The other day I saw a very beautiful location and could not resist starting to port it. But unfortunately the outdated engine could not illuminate correctly even such small models. Here are the comparisons between csgo and gmod. You will have to build walls and floor from brush geometry (i.e. map). In graphic terms, this is worse (you cannot use phong), but the lighting will be correct.

Here is a video showing this location.UE4 engine.   -> 2021-09-01 18:23:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Plans for September.

To be honest, I am terribly tired of GTA V and of the direct ports of the levels. I have plans, yes, yes, again, to port one house from the Unreal Marketplace, it appears quite often in many games, both on UE and Unity.

But I'm not going to make a direct port, but just take the house as a basis, but come up with rooms, textures of walls...

GTA V City pool

In general, this is a strange project. I've been going to make this map for the whole summer. Quite small but interesting. I made two versions day and night. At night, I added the illumination of the pool itself and other objects. I also added something like a motel room with switched off lights. Yes, yes, the light turns off. I revised this place a little, made other windows and doors. Collected partly skybox from what I could. Some textures had to be changed, they were too poor quality.

Soon.

As it turned out, night maps turned out to be more difficult to do, a thin line between light and darkness. Simply putting the sun in a bright spot is much easier. Here is one of the final versions of the night version.

I do not know what to call the map, this is not a direct port from gta v, I partially made it my own way.

It remains to make versions for SFM. Expect in the next couple of days.

what's new ?

Forgive me that there has been no content for so long, I have a hellish heat again, for the third day the temperature has been kept at around +30-35 degrees, in such heat it is difficult even to sleep, especially to work. It turns out only a few hours at night when the heat subsides.

I have been planning to build this cozy place from the city of los santos for a very long time. Something like a city pool with a motel. I'm currently looking for a solution to the skybox problem, trying to...

CAMEHEDZ arcade model [Gmod | SFM]

In short, I was asked to make a model of a new arcade machine. I didn't want to take money for an hour's work. Let it be for all subscribers...

- Has 3 screen skins. The first logo with breakage effects. The second is static. The third is an emulation of the gameplay.

The weapon model is from "Badlands Revenge II", but I have archived it just in case.

A little disgrace

Learning Source 2. Trying to implement switchable light  🤣. So far, everything is bad. Hopefully the developers will improve the lighting performance.

Make switchable light...

Let this post be like the answer to all requests to make the lights on the map switched off. Unfortunately, the Source Engine is totally outdated and it is very bad at it. Here is an example of what artifacts appear just on a small map, I fought with a bunch of similar incomprehensible black squares on the apartment map back in 2015 (map in the workshop). For this reason, I never want to mess with it again.

Floyd's apartment [Gmod | SFM] $1+

Hi everyone. Here is a small but cute and detailed map from gta v. This is floyd's apartment. The same temporary apartment that Trevor lived in while he was looking for Michael.

For sfm users: there is a small mirror in the bathroom, if you want to turn it off, type ent_fire bathroom_mirror toggle in the console. For those who still do not know, the mirror is not friendly with the AO. Disable it if you want to avoid artifacts.

I couldn't think of anything better h...

Reflections

One of my old hdd started to fail, which has probably already seen 3 assemblies of computers. Its operating time is over 7 years. I decided to make a backup of the most important files from this disk, just in case, and came across an archive of my source maps, which I have been keeping since 2009!

Here are the source files for the Mass Effect 3 map. I updated this project three times. I even wanted to continue it (this can be seen from the date of 2017) but it was not destined to come t...

About the gym.

I have in mind a good pack of models with various sports equipment. On the basis of these models, it is quite possible to build some kind of map of a fitness center, a sports club... In general, someone has ideas, photographs, some kind of room diagrams, I have a very bad fantasy 😁

Personally, I imagined this map as just a big hall with a bunch of treadmills...

Several screenshots...

I just posted an illustration in the steam community as an advertisement and notifying those who still do not know about the existence of my Patreon that a penthouse map is ready, maybe someone will be interested. But as usual it started. I needed to turn off comments. 😕

Penthouse night version?

Do you need a nightly version of the penthouse map?

GTA Online Diamond Casino Penhouse v1.0 [$5+]

OK. I call this map version 1.0))) Added a bunch of small details that I would never have done if I had stayed in mode "the map for a month".

All models for penthouse decor can be found HERE 

Read about skybox HERE.

I left all the instructions for installation inside the archive. Mo...

About the penthouse.

In general, nothing worked for me with the creation of a 360 screenshot or a fully 3D skybox. I decided to leave the usual blue skybox, but made a separate small room where sky_camera is located, it will increase everything that you place there exactly 16 times. To understand where the building itself is located, I made a hint, this will mitigate the problem.

Project for August

I want to know if anyone is interested in the parking lot from the latest GTO update or, for example, a workshop... There is one problem, parking can be done on the source engine, there is just a bunch of different small parts, pipes, wires, decals of dirt, peeling paint and so on, it will take just a colossal amount of time.

I would not mind making a new workshop, perhaps together with benny's workshop, I have been looking at this location for a long time. As it turned out they are the...

Again about the GTA update

Hook and trainer updates have finally arrived. I was able to fully examine the new locations in all details.

I shot a video. On the youtube page under the video, you can find time codes to understand where and what.

Also here is a gallery where I compare the "new" update and a very old location from the lowriders update. Rockstar just took the old location, mirrored it, added a couple of new elements and passed it off as a new location. ->> 2021-07-23 23:17:10 +0000 UTC View Post

About the penthouse map

In general, I want to devote the rest of the week of the month to finishing the map with the casino penthouse. I have a question: are you satisfied with just a blue skybox? It's just that all my attempts to make a sphere with a screenshot of the surroundings (360 degrees) are not comforting, I always get a crooked picture or not the appropriate size.

I even "demolished" the casino in the game with the help of the map editor and took a picture, but nothing happened either.

To creat...

284 decor models for penthouse gta v

Hello. All the same, I made up my mind and made all the existing models that the player can place in his penthouse. There are a lot of different pictures, figurines, plants, flowers and other little things. I didn't expect it to take me a whole week! Many models have multiple skins (except pictures).

I myself did not place these models on the map, I think everyone is free to choose where and which models will be located, I think it was a good idea to release these models in a separate p...

About the GTO update

1. They built a giant underground (?) Parking lot measuring 11K x 16K, that's 1/4 of the engine's available grid. (see screenshot). I did not see anything useful and interesting there, it is a corny huge dirty room with supports and there is nothing else there.

2. They took an ancient update of the lowriders, more precisely benny's workshop, and slightly changed it, adding a hall where a few cars will most likely simply be located. Also, nothing interesting.

3. They copied the met...

I compiled the map for CS:GO.

Hell, shadow maps on models and cascading shadows work wonders. Here are some comparison screenshots. Unfortunately, I have to work under Gmod and SFM (by the way, sfm has even less possibilities).
In the last screenshots, you can see how the shading of models is competently requested, for example, a pink panel behind the beds or a rug on the floor.

And there is also a huge difference in the screenshots from the terrace, where even beautiful shadows are falling in real time, and in g...
