nah that's fine, I also think that a dark vignette could have made this better.

ohh ok

sorry for the misunderstanding

None of this was made in gmod this was SFM. it was my first favorite art I created, I know that the different props from different games clash, its just that there were few props I could use to make it have the same feel from a single game. I had not known of updating SFM manually at that time. I also had no access to photoshop and I still don't, i just use a simple website with premade graphics.

the addon i wanted to link is in this guide

alright, i can tell that this is mainly in gmod, so luckily i'm good with that

first, use vignette post processing effect found in the robotboy665 addon "more post processing effects" for abandoned feel

secondly, use tf2 foliage props so there aren't any clashing artstyles, like the tree next to the stack of briefcases. i'd say you should search for tf2 style props, or just use portal 2 props, as they're within the same style as l4d and half life / black mesa props

make sure props aren't clipping

you could use some green light as if some plants are growing in front of lights

use softer lights for smaller objects

those are all i can think of right now, i'll try to link an addon and a guide

i love adding small details
