RIP fridge that died to bring us the media previews

Found through random_map. Very interesting. Don't see too many vertical maps like this.

the map is polled, the textures are white and not black.

Excellent work. Would love to see more brutalist-style maps on Gmod, as of right now I only know of this, gm_frame and gm_smog_city. The world needs more Blame!-inspired maps :D

@CookSavon If you have the Stormfox addon, open the Stormfox settings from your context menu and then disable and re-enable it. Otherwise, it might be another addon you have that modifies brightness or contrast.

Hi, like the first comment i have lightning problems, everything is bright unlike the pictures, what can i do (i tried HDR, mat specular, and shadow settings)

have sex with brutalism and kill them

@Gulp not if I do it first

im gonna have sex with brutalism

This is a pretty cool map. Personally, I think there should be more maps like this that follow the whole gigantic, concrete, brutalist, empty style.

I hate brutalism, but this is really cool

This is what I imagine being trapped in the dreamworld (a la Inception) would look like.

Reminds me of the demo tower on bestinclass. Good stuff.

Pretty crazy for a gmod map to rival some real life buildings lmao.

@mforddog That's actually pretty cool, I knew when I was making this map that the building would have to be be towards the upper end of what's been built in terms of skyscrapers but I didn't realize it would fit comfortably in the top handful of buildings in the world.

Oh, this building is huge then, the worlds 5th tallest building has 120 stories, so this would most likely be the 5th tallest building in the world, pretty tall.

@mforddog There are 60 floors, I just counted them for you. 30 in the map itself plus another 30 in the skybox. Though each "floor" (measured from the height of one walkway to the next) is about twice as high as a building level would normally be, so the map's height is equivalent to a 60 story building or 120 stories including the skybox.

Outstanding.

how many floors you think it has?

Looks exactly like one of the massive, vertigo-inducing unsafe skyscrapers I often find myself high up in in my nightmares

this is crazy

I did mat_specular 1 and 0, and the lighting was still miserable. Got anything to fix that ?
