When we think about Counter-Strike, we also think about the forgotten textures and the famous pink and black checkered pattern, which loyal players of Counter-Strike: Source remember. This is also what makes the irresistible charm of CS.

But we must not forget also that the orange textures of the maps have marked more than a generation.

This skin refers to the very popular AG_Textures maps on private CSS and CSGO servers. These are maps created initially to quickly load the game but also to not have losses of "framerates" for smaller PC configurations. They became very popular because we considered it like training maps. Our focus remains on the enemies, and the characters are easier to see than in traditional maps.



I called it "Architecture" because the AG_textures maps are very "cubic" and "stylized", with many axes of different orientations and linear. This fits perfectly with the architecture, the drawings and the plans.While drawing this texture, I immediately thought about the axes, ruler, the lines of constructions, sketches etc ... The orange color allows to remind the walls of the maps AG_Textures, the gray for the ground and the ceiling of maps.

There are also graduated rulers but without numbers but which refers to the architecture and complexity of construction in general.

This skin has a very futuristic and high-tech style. It can be seen from very far in game and very well thanks to its orange color toned.



I would like to thank Valve and the CS's development team for putting our designs and creativity into this 20-year Counter-Strike contest. Being an unconditional fan of this game since my childhood, and having started in LANS then Steam, it's been a long time now that I approach CS as a player, a designer and a passion. The Workshop revealed talents from all over the world, but also a shared passion. The best FPS game in history is called: "CS".

Do not forget! If you are a skin creator, test your skin directly in the game to highlight your creation and to test with the lights etc…! Here is my guide allowing you to realize it. Lights and tests are very important! Good luck!
