i dont see ANY map at 120 fps, so you cant dissapoint me! looks bloody good too, downloading.

Yikes it's maps lile these that make me want to reinstall HL2... Well someday :(

Is that the house they used for A Clockwork Oarnge?

Wow.

That's awesome! I wouldn't know where to start with that.

How many trees? hehe

My only tiny complaint would be that the waterfalls below the house look a bit square compared to everything else.

But completely deserving of 5 stars!

I got around 40fps on most of the map. It dipped a few times to 20 (18 was the lowest I saw) but mostly wavered around 30-40fps.

That was in 1600x1200......so I wouldn't say the performance was toooooo bad. The new official cs_militia hurts my FPS about the same amount!

Mind you, I bet Hammer was lagging like a bitch during the late stages of putting this together, Kasperg?

OMG... slowest EVER server!!!! dloading it still... but PLEASE!!!!!

I forgot to mention something. For people who hate the Source Engine: Try doing this in HL1.

Nice map ,I would like to see how you did some of these things, maybe you could release the RMF file.

Mmm, I stated on the readme that I would never ever release the vmf file, but I'll be happy to answer any questions on how things were made :)

1)Find the floorplans and scan them.
2)Use them as a texture in HL1 and make the first floor layout on top of the image.
3)Search for pictures of the house (I found 254)
4)Map, map, map
5)Make custom textures
6)Map, map, map

Very good vertex manipulation. I dont see why it chugs, you should of used a 3d skybox for all the trees in the map, maybe put brushes end to end? I only say this cuz it looks like a cool map to play in, but it will never run anything more than 1v1

very impressive. Though i ran it at less then 1 fps, it was still pretty. Kinda relieved to see another art map on here.

Marvelous!

Shame on you Xyos :( Decompiling is bad IMHO and you shouldn't do it (unless to recover your own lost work)

And the reason Kasperg didn't optimize, is because he didn't WANT to.

As a mapper Kasperg absolutely owns almost everyone.

The likes of me and you cannot tell him how to map!

I am thinking about the possibility of making a lite version of the map for hostage rescue like Satchmo suggested. Although it wont be anytime soon I'm afraid. I was balancing the possibilities of making the new version in winter (snow) or spring (trees with leaves and more foliage). Area portals wouldnt solve all the problems because the house was too many windows and entrances... The map doesnt perform that great either because I didnt run a full VIS, for reasons stated in the readme. But thanks for the suggestion. I myself feel like it could be a good map to play with some tweaking.

Dats ok Playbus. I do understand where you are coming from, and understand. There are people out there who do that though. (Those people should BURN IN HELL)

Kasperg PM me when you make the lite version, cuz that map is just amazing! Cant wait to battle in the water below :) Favorite part of that map! All the little details and texture choices! IT RIVALS professional maps from any fps game!!!

this is seriously cool stuff. i am also an architecture student, spotted your stuff at the digitalurban blog <A HREF="http://digitalurban.blogspot.com/2006/08/fr
ank-lloyd-wright-architectual.html">here</A>. i really want to learn this sort of game mapping to use as an architectural tool, the walk and fly throughs you can produce are excellent! can anybody recommend me somewhere to learn the basics in game mapping?

haha haha you say that like i've mapped on hl2 before... i've never mapped on anything! the closest i've got from the modeling side is my cad 3d architectural models and the closest from the gaming side is playing hl2 and css! but this site seems excellent thanks, it'll be my bedtime reading for the next few weeks i think.

that falling water model is superb, you would be able to make a fortune doing architectural models for companies!

Ryo made a few buildings for HL1 and HL2, but I'm not sure if the downloads are available. Check his blog >> http://archlife.skynetblogs.be/

As for the source file, as I said in the readme I can't release it...

Hi, Kasperg.
I'm an italian architect, graduated at Politecnico di Milano.
I've seen your work about Kaufmann's House and, interest around it, I'd like to discuss with you in private form.
Unfortunately I haven't found your e-mail address, so this is mine:

matteo.lo.prete@libero.it

Hope to can read about you soon.
Thank you for any kind of attention

Download link is down meh!

I'd like to see this as a survivor map in Left 4 Dead!

indeed great work that is a biggg map like captain terror said no visible errors at all,Mapquest and Google Maps could use adding some similar features
