<div class="IPBDescription">feedback</div> hey people, why i wait for my brand spanking new video card to be in my hands sometime next month, i started work on some of the other elements.

i drew out quite a few doodles of my marine start, and finally i have it layed out as i want.
Ok, this is what i have planned for the Marine start:

the marine start itself will be familiar to all those who walk through the first set of doors in HL.
The command console will be placed behind the reception desk, which is below an "arch" brush, (only 5 sides, to reduce r_speeds). Of course no Map would be complete without the odd "hologram" somewhere, so just in front of the arch is the rather nice Omdi logo, which i decided to make myself. (moultano made me a nice one, but i decided to see how if i could do better. But credit is due for telling me how to use them in wads <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

there will be at least one alien only entrance (well, before JPs anyway) in the form of a central heating vent (its on a dam ice planet, why would you need ventilation?)

There will be two rather cool looking skylights, the architechure of which i stole from my school canteen ceiling while thinking of my map.

I would scan in the doodle but i'm on a different comp, so you'll have to bear with me and use your imagination for now. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Here is the OMDI hologram logo. I tried to mimic the "Join" textures glowy bits, but it didnt go too well, not to worry, ill work a bit harder on that bit later <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

No new screens of Omdi yet, so youll have to make do with these rather unsatisfying concept images and stuff for a while...

Feedback on the logo and what you can make of my MS would be appreciated. You like? or no?

    Love. It. However, it looks a little too "sharp" for a wall stencil. Blur the edges a tad so it looks more natural.

    thanks.
    i'm sure Half-Life excells at blurring nice textures, but ill do it around the edges anyway <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh, and the "join marines" area is a HUGE LIFT! (hold your excitement in!)
    which doesnt move, you just walk into it and..spawn into...The lift again!, this lift is the one in the marine start. if you have any sense, you would be able to figure out that it is meant to be the same lift, and you take it down to MS, once choosing to become a soldier.
