Nice, I like the little details like that tiny green computer screen in the back of the 1st pic. Lighting is great too. The thing that looks odd is the glow brushes on the vertical lights in the 1st pic. The tops of them go down at too steep of an angle. I know it probably needs to be like that for it to be a valid brush but I remember a map I did where there was similar glow brushes that were invalid and still worked fine ingame. Maybe it has some bad side effect though, I wouldnt know.

Invalid brushes are corrected during the compile process. The compiler adjusts the vertices so that the brush has proper flat planes. This usually causes the brush to be warped a bit, or sometimes it can't be adjusted and it spits out an error.

I really like the second picture, almost reminds me of good old Quake 2 levels with its dark textures and dim lighting <img src="http://66.78.33.98/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> Those 3 red lights on the door in the first picture nicely break up the whiteness of the room too.

/me praises merk. excellent work.

Greedo · January 2002

Uhh...
Umm...
/me drools

Not to be wierd or anything, but what I like most of all is how the NS logo justs blends into your pictures so beautifully. That map will definitely turn out great, and it will certainly be one of NS's finest.

Merk is fast becoming the king of gothic industrial. Brilliant work! I especially like the electromagnet cargo gantry.

MonsieurEvil · January 2002

More shots tomorrow afternoon. I have quite a few in my bag o' levels. All tasty.

Howling, how did I miss your site!? Dang. Be sure to give me a news submission address so I can add you to our mailing list. Thanks a ton for the coverage! Great page.

edit: I just added a news blurb to rr.org. Hopefully that will give you a small traffic boost.

looks great but you should change the lighting in that hallway. maybe just make the corners dark and misterous.

Actually I quite like the warm glow it gives off; its one of the few places in Hera which actually looks so light. Rest assured, there are plenty of other moody rooms in the map for you to crouch in as an alien <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
