Attached a demo of things I noticed walking around. Looked at r_speeds afterwards... I can see why you don't want to care, 40000! But yeah, looks really nice.
Very thanks for this demo. I could fixed textures on some surfaces. That was great post.
Fixed in B4:
- I saw that you couldn't reach vent door and climb on the chain ladder on pool
I made it easier and add some clip brushes.
- Windows are fixed, diagonally cut and textures are rotate 90 where it is needed.
- I didn't change wood texture in the wall corners - I just think it looks much cooler like this
But thx for showing hah
It's not wood - it's plastic wood-a-like thing
- Stairs are now much slimier and looks more naturally. I didn't add any support because can't figure out what would look good
I think it's not much problem - it's paintball
- I didn't know that white texture in pool is metal haha
I just like it
You said it should be concrete so I made it like this and add this black lines. I think it looks cool.
- Wood stairs with leds also are changed. Now every step look the same
I didn't even think about it earlier.
- I redesign lounger. Now it looks so much better
Not just texture, but also I changed brushes...
- I know that the kitchen feels tall
I add chair so now you can jump on worktop much easier.
How many hours did this take to make? The level of detail is insane. This would work well with siege and dm, if not for the insane r_speeds. Two things I noticed:
1. Pianos have three pedals. What piano in the universe only has two pedals? Because I am a pianist, I find this insulting and hurtful to me and the pianist community. I want to see three pedals on that piano by beta 4. Edit: This statement has been proven wrong by Cameron. In fact, such pianos do exist. In this case, it is fine to leave the piano as it is.
2. It would be cool for that computer to have digital paint open and showing the menu screen or something like that.
- I don't know. Just making my map during breaks beetwen studying to exams.
- ad. 1 Fixed
- ad. 2 You should earlier shot this monitor xD And you woudn't ask about that
To all ppl arguing about piano, this is stupid in english language that "piano" means TWO things. We should know that tehre is "GRAND PIANO" with always 3 pedals and "UPRIGHT PIANO" with 2 or 3 pedals
In Polish GRAND PIANO is called "fortepian". Grand piano (like this one in my map) has alwayes 3 pedals
We played yesterday on here and i did like it but, i did experience some fps drop issues i don't have the best pc but, still. Maybe look into making this map playable on lower end pc's.
P.S. I only got lag issues when leaving the front of the house.
Making this map playable on lower PC will be very hard :< It will looks worse. Lag issues is like you said - in front of the house, around the garden. But most time all shooting have place inside house so that shoudn't be so much problem.
This is one good looking map. Congratulations!
I notice that you have a lot of lights on the ceilings that stand out and I think if you embed them you could reduce the r_speeds quite a lot. There are also the windows and a few other places that could be optimized to lower the r_speeds.
I know that it is a lot of work to do and changing the lights might affect the lighting too but I think it will make the map more playable.
Keep up the good work 
What do you mean by that? How can I optimized windows? :< Hint brushes didn't work =/
I was trying to embed the light's but it' didnt help. I made it in the room with fish on the windows because there is a lot of leds. Nothing changed :< r_speeds is exacly the same, but lights ray and shadows look worse. Do you really think it would help? :O
I also make chandelier a little bit lower that now triple to the top floor is easier.
-Some other fixes like table in the main livingroom. There were some mess with brushes, now it looks great
Also fireplace, doors etc. were fixed. If you have time - please check and give me your advice!
