@SaintMarc2001 @novacheska4421 @oliver_irl I'm really unsure whether the people saying this have eyes. The second picture literally has a wider range. It gets both brighter and darker, that's contrast! What you call contrast in CSGO is the game just being uniformly darker and grayer.

@novacheska4421 @oliver_irl Idgaf how its calculated, its just looks less washed out. The 2nd pic says it all. Looks like haze and washed out, Who gives a shit how technically accurate it is if the end product looks like there is no contrast whatsoever

What I get vs. what I do with it

@SaintMarc2001 @sean_gause @oliver_irl Cyberpunk only rivals the lighting quality of CS2 if it's set to path tracing. That's because CS2 *is* path traced. It just does it when the map is made, and then you download that existing lighting information, costing your PC close to nothing. It's called baking.

@sean_gause @oliver_irl here, Cyberpunk has far more sophisticated lighting than CS2, yet its colors and contrast look much better. everything in CS2 has that weird, ugly milky tone. I just don’t find the look appealing at all

@kinzykenzie @rythin_rta wouldnt happen in the glorious east hungary RAAAAAA

@rythin_rta Yeah that shit confused me in the UK. Hell you mean the park is closed??

am I too European for this wtf do you mean "parks hours"

@mrpotato44_ Do you plan on eventually cutting back on all the 7 million hotspotted concrete surfaces? I feel like more deliberate texturing would go a long way here already

Started remaking and adding some signs around the map. I might stream again tomorrow or sunday with more work on the map and textures, feel free to stop by then.

@mrpotato44_ I think your #1 focus should be more area differentiation rn. Separate the 2 bombsites through art differences, and that will give you ideas for the micro stuff too. Maybe have one of them slightly more overgrown, more worn, something like that. The map is very samey currently

Once again asking all the cool artists who follow me: How can I make these areas more interesting/look better? Any suggestions welcome, I'm kinda stuck because they might be passable but everything looks extremely bland:

@_Mikopath_ @mrpotato44_ the moss blend is not global, its only on the ancient assets, but yeah he could make his own

@mrpotato44_ The castle is old right? Maybe some moss to blend with the bricks, the new moss blend is gonna give some much needed color contrast.

@kinzykenzie @tenfosi It looks odd but its completely possible to drive like this, your brain registers both views at once and at some point you dont even see the flashing anymore, just take in double the info

@tenfosi I am going to throw up so violently I stg

it just never stops being funny

@SaintMarc2001 @JimWoodUK @mrpotato44_ @CounterStrike I honestly expect a source 2 DZ map to fit into 3 GB with smart asset reuse. Keep in mind, things that already exist in the files dont contribute to the file size. Only custom textures, the geometry, and the lighting information. Its probably doable.

@hossel8 @JimWoodUK @mrpotato44_ @CounterStrike Yeah, I know, but at least 2 GB is expected. By the same metric, DZ maps should be at least 10 GB, if not more. In CS:GO, they used to be barely 1 GB. So if they add DZ and multiple DZ maps, the game size could become huge

Danger zone announcement and showmatch tomorrow @CounterStrike ??

@SaintMarc2001 @JimWoodUK @mrpotato44_ @CounterStrike Cache could be at least half the size, and I suspect after valve works on it, it will be. Its not a good benchmark

@JimWoodUK @mrpotato44_ @CounterStrike Brother. If you do a full remake of ember in CS2. How big of file size you are expecting? Cache for example is probably not even 10% of size of ember/or dz map but it's 3gigs. Seems like DZ will cost a lot of space

@marcus9180 very based, keep it up maestro

So over the next while I’ll be trying something new. Everyday I’ll post around a handful of sports betting tips, with the first ones being posted later today. After each day I’ll also keep track of the results. And I guess we’ll see what it all leads to.

@mozze_here @YtJinqs @JimWoodUK @CounterStrike its unfortunate how stupid you are

@YtJinqs @JimWoodUK @CounterStrike Train remake made by bunch of people outside valve. Overpass/Inferno remakes by valorant dev. Anubis made by 3 silvers from matchmaking. Ancient is sh**t. No info about other maps before. Skins are from steamcommunity.

The @CounterStrike team have done so much over the years to evolve CS into what it is now, and all people do is complain still to this day. Yes they could do more with more staff, but so could anyone in any business. The vocal minority need to appreciate updates when they arrive and stop snivelling anytime one drops, it's tiring to read, so I can't imagine how tiring it is to read for them. The same people crying about skins updates and a lack of constant content updates are often the same people who cry when there hasn't been new skins in 6 months. Compare CS to other games like COD and the difference is insane. I'll take free-to-play over £70 yearly releases full of pay-to-win skins and features, thanks

@R1lzu_ @FMPONE @CounterStrike Mirage was made 13 years ago with a solid chunk of textures coming from a game from 21 years ago. Yeah, there will be a difference sadly lol

Another DE_CACHE update is live with FPS improvements and more. Full change-log: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…

"oh I can't fall asleep while cuddling" you are weak and will not survive the winter

Train Fixed a gap in geometry. @CounterStrike

@Muty71 the famas left on the ground completes the look

if your loadout looks like this hmu

@FortniteGame old movement for build or bust

THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL. OG is coming BACK and is here to stay. Relive Battle Royale from the start and explore the OG map, collect OG loot, and relive OG seasons. Drop back in on December 6.

@joywave cologne was sick

Berlin tonight 🇩🇪 Thank you Cologne joywavemusic.com/tour

You can make spider man style fake parallax windows in CS2! There is no room there, zero geometry is drawn apart from the glass, just a neat way of using the parallax corrected cubemaps source2 offers #counterstrike

@ESCalationOffic Number 1 has much punchier contrast due to the blue in the backdrop, it just works better as a result imo

Which thumbnail is better?
