Zumthor's Thermae of Stone in Source SDK part 2: HDR light.

[jjdaballinbeast]

For my design studio, this building is my precedent study. This video has helped me better understand this space and its layout for the creation of a study model

[piepotatosandturtle2]

this turned me on?

[MetallicDoom16]

sexy!

[Mariuspersem]

Too much light for my liking.

[NoginLogin]

How do you do the blue lights above the pool? Is it a simple blue block with a spotlight on it? I'd appreciate it if you could show me.

[alvaroignc]

@NoginLogin Just make a spotlight pointing upwards, to the roof.

[unbrokenjack]

This is as inspiring as the place itself. Job well done!

[alvaroignc]

@unbrokenjack ty, i appreciate it :)

Beautiful.

[NoFatGamer]

nice map

[SchulZzz007]

which water texture you use ? please tell me

[alvaroignc]

It's dev2.

[Yitohr]

@alvaroignc When I try out dev_water2, it always seems to have an ugly greenish fog which you seem to have avoided here somehow. Am I using the wrong texture or otherwise missing something?

[Yitohr]

@Yitohr May have solved this myself, actually. That's what I get for designing a spa with a lap pool : /

[kkaayynniinnee]

Are those Light_spot entities?

[alvaroignc]

yes, three of them per light bulb.

[jfu12450]

@alvaroignc Why do you require 3? Does it make a difference?

[alvaroignc]

Yeah, if you want to create a hard falloff quick and easy, you'll need 2 bulbs on top of each other for the effect, and an additional one in the opposite direction to light the ceiling. I guess you could get a similar result with 2 bulbs, messing around with their falloff curves, but i found out the 3 "lights per bulb" is the best method for the intended effect.

[anyproblems123]

Holy... that looks awesome.

[alvaroignc]

Thanks :)

Though, youve got to give the architect credit for designing those amazing spaces.

[rashiqufied95]

Woah looks so goood!

[alvaroignc]

Hey, thanks :)

HDR lighting is awesome, it just makes every map look great.
