    I'd like to just thank Carbon 14 for his textures.  They rule <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Bah, you can play with high resolution :F

    Nice looking map!  I don't know the layout of the map but it looks like some nice tight, confused, cool battles <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Looking good, nice architecture and lighting.  There's not much to improve on here, except maybe a bit more color in the lighting.  I don't think that's strictly necessary, but it could help.  Nice job.

    Oh! So sexy!!!
    The one thing that looks cheesy is the stair to the door. Try making it look like a real detailed metal stair instead.

    Looks great! I like the texture and lighting combinations. They remind me of ns_caged... an obvious good sign. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    My biggest gripe would be that it looks far too dark overall. At least in the last shot. Though, considering that no one else has made that comment, I'll assume that maybe it's just the morning glare on my screen. I'll check back later and see if it still looks that way to me.

    Looking awesome. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I think it's mostly JPEG compression that's accountable for the over-darkness, it may also be, as you say, the moring glare on the screen.  The light levels seem just fine to me ingame, but maybe an env_gamma would help out a bit.

    Thanks alot for the comments guys <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Nice texturing, the shadows are very atmospheric. I especially like the bulges and stuff on the walls of the first pic.

    BTW, I have question that's kinda unrelated to this map (go ahead and nuke this if you must, mods <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->): What's the name of the white circular light texture seen in a few of these pics? A lot of maps use it, and I can't find it in ns.wad. Is it a custom texture? Is it just a white circle drawn on a back background? How does it work?

    Leave it to me to not notice something as obvious as that... ::imaginary rolleyes smiley::

    Thx, I was worried I was gonna have to actually get off (er, stay sitting down on) my lazy @$$ and draw a white cirlce on a black background.

    Yea I agree with infi, its amazing lighting and its converting it to jpeg made it a little darker I say change it to look like that because it has that dark industrial look to it.
