Lobby World Map Wallpaper

[color=black]These are basically my attempts to recreate the world map screen in the main lobby. (Or make something that somewhat resembles it :meh :slight_smile: The screen I’m talking about is obviously the one on the left side of this official screenshot:

Obviously, they are not the best in the world. But seeing as I’m not terribly good at Photoshop in the first place, I thought they turned out all right. So, what do you guys think?[/SIZE]

Hello new wallpaper!

That is awesome!

Very cool man, thanks!

steals away 1280800 version*

These are brilliant. :smiley:

uses

abso-fucking-lutely awesome.

That’s good, but I see you’ve recreated the spotlights as well. FYI, the original made by the devs wouldn’t have had those bright spots, it would have been, I think, flatly coloured and those bright patches are from the actual lights placed in the level with the map editor, Hammer.

All your base are belong to us!

Great job, bro!

Thanks, guys. Im glad you like them.

You are correct, but I thought it would add a little more to the wallpaper itself.

I saved these in a photoshop format, PSD, with all the seperate layers and effects by themselves. So going back and removing the lighting effects would be no problem at all, if that is what some people would prefer. Or if some wanted a version without the Black Mesa logo, ect.

Great job! I’d totally nail this to my desktop, but I prefer darker wallpapers. :stuck_out_tongue:

Fukken saved.

It’s my new wallpaper. Nice job!

Top notch wallpaper; best I’ve seen on the forums yet.

It replaced my aging surface tension vista wallpaper, but seriously, how did you make it? Did you just take a world map and overlay it over a background pattern and then overlay the BM logo?

Background -> World Shape -> Line Pattern -> Logo -> Text

sweet. Simple, effective, and looks badass.

Just found my new Avatar and Desktop! : P

I think you’re a year late.

QUESTION! I like this background alot, and I don’t know if it is in the mod’s version, but I remember that there was a little indicator (a star-like glow-spot) at Black Mesa’s location on the map. That little spec would make it complete for me, but I’m still putting this into my desktop rotation.

Er, I guess the question I never outright asked was if you could add aforementioned point.
Oh, a 1400x1050 version would be badass, too.

1920x1080 plz :wink:
