Every time you post pics my mouth waters HMS. From the minimap I'd say it looks awesome!

could you elaborate on that?

you didn't see quite some parts of the outpost so far anyways since it has a underground shelter (for sleeping, ammo storage etc)

i'll get some more pics of that area soon..

Well, I don't know, I think western camps look a little more organized (not that this isn't) But more like.. how the romans made their fortress, you get what I mean?

It looks like this complex has a lot of strong and weak points, it's not evenly defended on all sides but ofcourse, it's well protected anyway.

It looks more like an Afghanic police outpost I think

but I like it anyway..

I don't know,.. it looks a little choatic but still realystic..

Reminds me of that brutish map vs the insurgents helmand province or something like that

Thought this video would be useful on some level to the mapping process - an apache travelling low and fast through the river valleys

it's been quite a while so i think some new pics are in order.

recently done:

- extended the green zone along the rivers.
- added more compounds and agriculture.
- repainted almost the whole colortextures, but i'm still not happy.
- reworked the overgrowth/ undergrowth to get more variety.
- added an old russion occupation era mountain base (VERY WIP, so no pics yet), wich will - once captured - bring in the option to get some air-support (if so, then it will be very limited transport)
- added some more roads.
- lots of minor changes.
- thanks to dr.ranks' magic - the fog, the mountains and the undergrowth look way better now, so TY very much!

.. as you can see from some pics, i've got still some very crappy lightmaps, that will be adjusted when i don't make any serious changes to the terrain and objetcs layout anymore. strange thing though is that the pr objects seem to get decent lightmaps, while the vbf2 ones just go pitch black. i guess that's just a matter of lm settings but i didn't look into that too much yet.

i will have enough time for the project again as soon as i got my finals off the desk, so i'm planning to get the map to a stage where i can u/l a version to hopefully get some feedback.

that's it so far, enjoy the pics and just ignore the crappy lightmaps.

more to come soon...

There are a lot of empty areas, but what was done until now is great !

looks pretty good. the main issue I can see is the moutins are looking far too man made, and epically far too tpainted, give them some veration and some hand texture/modeling love.

Nice Buddie, in fact you map looks more real than mine!
