Now that people are used to the editor, I think they really need to release a guide on designing levels for flow and strategy. So we can begin to get layouts down. No?

agree I wanna know how to create the maps using the new grid system, but then again the current version is not for making maps, just to give us early glimse into the tech, try buliding 5 rooms with lots of props and see what happens. This version is only ment for getting us used to the editor so when the "final" version comes out we are ready to go.
Heres my infestation attempt. The lighting in the hole was almost impossible to get as light reflected terribly on all the surfaces. Hopefully dynamic infestation comes through and maps infest themselves automatically; alternatively real nice infestation props similar to the rock props.

Thanks. I got about 50 something lights in just that one room alone. I added some more props and lights too. It's looking good. I'm almost done this room on a first pass, and I'm nearly ready to expand.
Guys, some of you are crazy! Looks fantastic, great ideas, great work! But some of you guys need to fix the light, looks terrible, but indeed good work with the level designs or trys =) Is it just me or look some of this like UT?

Damn 50 lights per room is 2 much for todays CPUs and GPUs ! This means totally there will be more than 500 lights. But i really dont know how much it should be ? Also we should consider number of lights for a room or for a map ?
Sorry. Didn't know how to make thumbnail previews, so you'll have to click into the links.
Enjoy. This is my first one. Going for an underground mining kind of feel. Haven't added rocks yet, or much detail really... although I am a simplistic dude when it comes to design anyway. Sadly, It pails in comparison to the brilliance i've seen in this thread already. Hope you enjoy.

Is that inspired by Jedi Knight: Darkforces I swear that looks exactly like one of the first levels where you use to ride up a slanted elevator. Looking good.
My guess would be ns_bast or co_daimos. Anybody else wondering how they get the crates off the elevator with the railings in the same direction as the door on the bottom? :p

Those exterior models, however nice, do not serve a multitude of maps I guess :(
these two rooms took me about 1 hour each - i'll never map for real, so feel free to rip :)
i still am having trouble lining things up as much as i would like - i'm a grid person

Sure but i also like design modes in Spore game.
