How did you recreated the map?
I mean it looks like you ported it, but you said in the descreption that it is a recreation. So how did you manage to recreate the style and look of the original?

Oooh man, yes although it says port its technically a recreation too. I don't wanna get tooo into details yet because I want to make a detailed video on it but basically to kinda give a rough idea unity maps typically are all one giant mesh with a few other meshes tied into it. You obviously couldn't port the entire model(map) into source because of limitations. But that doesn't mean you can't port the model over still just collisions and the materials may not work because once again depending on the game, a lot of unity maps use a texture atlas now I'm unsure how well they work on gmod but I just opted to not use it. But anyways so I had converted the .obj of the map over to Source and basically from there painstakingly recreated it by building over the model in hammer. As far as textures basically I had removed every single texture individually from the atlas into its own separate vtf file using point sampling to ensure it doesn't have any weird blur issues becshse of the texture size. As far as props certain props were rebuilt In the editor and turned into props using propper and some were painstakingly removed off the original untiy map mesh I'm blender which by the way is another long lengthy process. But yeah there's a rough idea of how I did it like I said I'll make a video soon going into full detail on how I did it. I'm unsure if there's and easier way of porting over maps but with limited resources online I just did the best I could

I would love to see a video about that. Thank you for respond!

Sure! what exactly do you need, the .MDL scaled for source or the original .obj from Pixelgun3D
