Angels Isle - Environment

Today I want to share with you all the end result of an amazing opportunity where I got to make a mid-size environment for Leartes Studios. All models are game-ready, and the environment runs at around 120 FPS. The windows are made using cubemaps, for which I also created a documentation for Leartes. I made everything from scratch for this project. Leartes provided me with concepts. The project lasted 4 months. Big thanks to the Leartes team that gave me feedback along the way.

Guys. I have balls of steel. And they’re super high res.

THE CUSTOM CUBEMAPS ARE HERE!

In continuation of this post

I’ve gone the full mile and converted it to a cubemap that Source uses and applied it to my test objects, as well as Scraps here for demonstration purposes.

Yup! They are featured most prominetly in TF2, like with the Ubercharge, golden items, etc.

As for how I do it specifically (like in SFM), that’s another matter. I was thinking of doing tutorial videos on how I do stuff if enough people are interested and I get enough YouTube Subscribers. ;)

I asked nsk13 how he made his retextures cause I´m very bad at them and feel lost about how to start improving and making what I want...

He (I think he is a he but not sure :D) was kind enough to send me the reply below , some things I already know and others not so much specially the importance of cubemaps and reflection maps.

For Trip outfit I edited an ingame cave cubemap with a purple hue and made a new one from a panorama picture for the Dragonfly. Here is the link if you are interested.
