maybe retexture the beams on the ceiling or near it whatever you call it. and the signs look a little to bright and cheery if u kno what i mean <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I think it looks great! Excellent use of textures, and you've added a lot of deapth to the construction.

Yeah, I have nothing but good stuff to say about it now. Total improvement.

Black_Wolf · April 2002

its really nice looking, though some texturing doesnt really fit, such as the roof crossbeam texture in the 1st shot, looks very out-of-place with the other cleaner textures.

but awesome nonetheless.

Looks outstanding. I like the signs. In fact, I liked them so much before that I *ahem* 'borrowed' the idea for use in ns_bast. The only difference is that mine are monochromatic blue and I made all the signs holographic models. I think MonsE has a screen up on readyroom.org that shows some. I hope this is okay. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I'm probably the only one who would notice this, but the ladder texture is showing more than it was designed to. This will be hard to explain verbally. In the texture, there are 'extra' uprights on both sides of the ladder. These were meant for use on the sides of the ladder brush. The front and back faces of the ladder were only meant to have 1 upright on each side. Does this make sense? Anyway, it really doesn't matter that much, and as I said, I'm the only one who would have seen that, and only because I made the texture.

Really gorgeous work, Manah. Please send me a .bsp when you're ready, I'd love to run around on it.

but allround it looks great!

pielemuis · April 2002

very nice, Lighting is perfect ,textures seem alright, don't think you should change anything....
Sorry have nothing bad to say about it <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Everytime I see shots of a NS map, I'm always staring at the sharpness of the textures, unlike HL or any other MOD, dunno if these textures are Cory's but it looks very detailed...

realityisdead · April 2002

Excellent work, manah! I love the way you've got some very contrasting (heh) clean vs. dirty texture use there. The lighting is also done wonderfully.

Great job! No immediate criticisms come to mind.

shoven · April 2002

Wow, manah. You continue to be an inspiration <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
I love the way you took the ladders from the middle of the hallway and put them into side corridors. I can't wait to see some more of this beauty <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Yamazaki · April 2002

I'd say you've got that area nailed, I wouldn't change a thing.

F4WN · April 2002

Looks great. Great use of textures, and the detail is outstanding. Personally, I think the beams are a great addition and the shadow they cast looks just as good. Very good lighting. I love it.

It's almost perfect, just a few changes are needed: the ladders seem really wide and the signs seem too cheery. I also think the door texture in the first screen shot could use a replacement.

And yes, it's defanitly an improvement.

Cremator · April 2002

This looks great! The textures and colors are fabulous.

manah · April 2002

Thanks all …

Yeah thats fine, except Relic, your signs look better than mine <b>*weeps*</b> ... although more figurative, so closer to those seen in the movie.

I know what you mean, although I hadn't noticed it before.

<b>*gets sent into endless processing loop if whether to change or not, will it become one of those pointless, inane things that bug me*</b>

shoven · April 2002

lol manah, I know exactly what you mean...
You don't gotta, they look fine.
