<div class="IPBDescription">nothing amazing.</div> ^_^

This first one is the "control Room" for the cargo bay. I will add a computer screen around there as its all too green now.

This next one shows a corridor that ends up in the engine area.

    some of the rooms seems a little empty at the moment and some of the rooms are a little too bright..
    apart from that, looks pretty nice.

    And last but not least, the current overview. (missing a hive and some corridors)

    BTW the pic is in black/white only-

    Very nice work! I especially like the engine ceiling. Musta been hell to align those textures right...
    Keep it up!

    Hey blueman . . . Stick loads of monitors in controls rooms. . . maybe even a hologram screen . . . make it look like really nice and superficial. If you need anyhelp I can do a 2d drawing of what I mean . . it will boost the map alot.

    I really like the lighting and some of the geometry. Nice work!

    Nice, reminds me of caged. Although I've never really been a fan of some of the textures used in that (and, consquently, your) map, the texturing is nice and varied, and the brushwork is interesting. Another minor texture complaint--in the engine room pic, the door texture you've used for the main structure in the center could use some realignment and scaling so it doesn't tile so much, as does the blue metal texture you used for the walls.

    About the lighting, while you've got decent variation in color, while it may be the screenshots' fault, most of the shots seem too bright and shadowless. Creating good shadows that <i>don't</i> rely solely on light_spots is tricky, but can add a lot of contrast to your map's lighting.

    Other than that, looking good <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    well. im a lover of light spots but i havent used any in any of the shots....ill put some around if im not happy with the texture lighting. The thing is i dont want to put too many entities until i got a full version of the map with all the rooms and hives. I still havent created any PS effect and already got 200 entities used so.....

    very very nice work, and yeah, the engine room ceiling looks sweet. Hope to see this in playtesting soon!

    Well. I dont want to do a complete new thread for this as im just posting the complete overview of the map. I finished just the layout, but still have to add some detail to certain areas.

    i think vents can be seen clearly.

    RED = Resource Nodes
    GREEN = Hives
    BLUE = MS and CC
    PURPLE = Weldables

    Nice Blueman, I think your vents suit the purpose, the one on the East Side of the map / Right Hand Side could be a possible new corridor about the same size as the one leading from the Nancy "Unnamed" hive. Well, I hope testing goes well. Can't wait for a Beta1.

    The red of your room really feels like it would engulf every part.. yet the white light is, which makes your lighting highly unrealistic.

    Seeing last overview, I think aliens need some way to reach the resource nozzle between those weldables. This situation remainds me ns_caged with that nozzle only accesible via welding or via vent.
