<div class="IPBDescription">Pics of one hive</div> Ok, maybe some of you remember my map, most of you don't (obviously).

I'm too lazy to write one of those big, big, big, BIG texts just to show you a pair of pics of my hive, so...

Don't flame because I've used the wall_lab textures, I'm not using exclusively that set of textures. *cough*

You can see more by clicking <a href='http://nsworld.ns-central.co.uk/Map.php?UniqueID=40' target='_blank'>here</a>.

Now, tell me your opinions, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, etc. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    you need a lot more infestation. the hive room looks like a normal room with yellow wallpaper, seriously. The second pic's texturing is also pretty bad, no offense. You need to infest it all or not infest it at all. (having a strip of organically-shaped infestation put into a geometric shape doesn't look good) (a strip of infestation with straight line borders and clean walls above and below it also doesn't look good)

    You need to make <b>brushes</b> of infestation, not just textures and whatnot. Make it look squishy!

    Oh, PS, your lighting rules (especially on the roof of that little house thingy)

    You need more infestation textures too. I hate it when the infestaion just stops.

    Yes, I know, the infestation :\ I just don't have that textures infested.

    The PSD link stopped working a long time ago D:

    I'll try to do it with the alphas in the ns.wad.

    The ardchitechture is nice. Although I would do something with the lighting. Maybe over one area put a RGB formation of lights? I found in my map making things like "Star" patters and a RGB formation can make the map look more interesting without people completely noticing the pattern

    Ok, I infested it a little more.

    I won't infest everything because it will look TOO infested (but that's my opinion).

    I haven't added infestation brushes as Windelkron said, but I probably will.

    It looks like it has potential, but the area at the back where the hive is just looks really empty at the moment, kinda like a shoebox room. It looks a bit strange the way the hive tenticles just stop at the ceiling.

    You could perhaps make it so the lights face down on to the hive, so it's darker at the top. You could also use those alpha infested textures to shroud the top of it a bit, or perhaps trash the end of the room. Put some wires hanging down, or broken walls.

    Otherwise, a good effort. I like the dark patch to the upper left, above that doorway. Nice place for
