FMPONE

DE_SPLINTER has arrived for @CounterStrike 🇨🇦🪵 (link in replies)

@Bakscratch @s8box @FcpnchStds Congratulations!

s&box is here! store.steampowered.com/app/590830/sbo… It's been a labor of love for the over 5 years I've been working on it! @s8box @FcpnchStds

@cs_loops I love the authenticity in their version, a lot of those material ideas (the subtle white bricks and tile) are actually really tough to pull off and integrate cohesively and they make it look easy and effortless. Like I said, they are the best.

@FMPONE They had such a different vision in mind to the rework u did actually impressive

@speedlapse nope. no input whatsoever. this is just Valve being the best at what they do, pure and simple

@FMPONE Did you help in the making of the map?

Today we are excited to release de_cache: steamcommunity.com/games/CSGO/ann…

Welc☢️me back.

Here's a first look at the remake of Cache in Counter-Strike 2

Let's have a great week.

What are you doing next week?

@MadsenFK @CounterStrike @Fnugz @yanzl_ @iamandik your scene is also... really dark, so this lamp is quite literally going to be the most memorable thing about the area. worth figuring it out

@MadsenFK @CounterStrike @Fnugz @yanzl_ @iamandik something like this, more conceptual, is going to read as more sophisticated IMO. you're going for such a realistic, arch vis style that you want to keep going in that direction, layering sophistication rather than retreating to simplicity

Extraction update cooking 🧑‍🍳 #CS2 #leveldesign

@MadsenFK @CounterStrike @Fnugz @yanzl_ @iamandik also think four light barns shooting out of the sides would sell the effect better than what looks to be an omni hitting the puddles? just get a bit of cognitive dissonance from them in general

@MadsenFK @CounterStrike @Fnugz @yanzl_ @iamandik really like it, however those floor lights always stick out to me as overly geometric. maybe they are based on real reference but something about them feels unconvincing

@ichhassemotive No, not my map anymore

@FMPONE Is there an optimisation update planned for cache when it comes to faceit? (90 fps on cache workshop and 380 on mirage)

Lattice deformers were a game changer for Splinter, unlocking more organic shape variety. For *decades* on Source engine games, you were stuck manually rotating models or creating entirely new models simply to tweak their shape.

@EfeYazgi That version of Cache is quite literally unfinished, and I don't think it would be appropriate of me to try to finish it considering when Valve bought it. The decision to put it on FACEIT servers simply reflects how popular the map is IMO, I would have preferred it not be used rn

@FMPONE Faceit'e gelecek Cache için yeni bir optimizasyon yolda mı? Uzun zamandır bir güncelleme almamış çünkü.

@xTimBx I've worked on optimizing this area a bit, we are rendering a lot of logs there!

@FMPONE The area on the edge of the map just outside of A site. I'll talk to the guys later and see where they were getting it as well. I'd be sitting on the little ramp looking down that right lane when I was ct and my friend was catching it on the outside corridor coming towards me.

@TheYuri4amba It is a more efficient way of creating the levels. So, more for convenience of making things

@FMPONE Это для оптимизации? Или для удобства?

@xTimBx which areas did you experience that in?

@FMPONE Fun map but we had areas on the map that were causing lag. Still loved it. Wish you would do abby

@JamieCooperB I don't have enough technical knowledge to answer that, but maybe somebody else does

@FMPONE This is interesting, I wonder if this is functioning with a form of WPO under the hood or if it is making a new mesh component?
