please use another glass texture than valves default glass.
seach mapping forum or ANY texture site for "glass texture" , there are some nice semi infested and much better looking glasses.

well i wouldn't put semi-infested glass in the marine spawn, but i'll take note of that.

Not a bad start, but the excessive hazard stripes are slowly searing my brain. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

It seems to have a very 'flat' ambience. Try dimming the lights slightly so you'll get some shadows.

Rizzmond · February 2003

yes, i think that the light_env has too high a brightness level, i'll lower it

I would rotate the warning stripe about 35 degrees that is on the floor around those red lights.

i agree, it does need a see thru glass for the roof, it took me a while to figure out that it was glass! looks a lil empty too, maybe a console or a crane for loading those crates?? the final thing i see wrong with that screenie is the vent to the left, a skulk or anything else that can shoot can pick off that comm cponsole without fear of a quick retaliation unless someone was either boosted or stood on top of the comm console.

You would be supprised at just how much a little darkness makes the room more believable. If you lowered the light alot and added some light_spots allont that walk way this room could look really good.

Rizzmond · February 2003

will do <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> I've followed the lighting advice, and the results are much better, the difference can be seen here <a href='http://www.geocities.com/rizzmond/plark' target='_blank'>http://www.geocities.com/rizzmond/plark</a>

Yeah that's much better. Make those lights in the ground give off a fade texture, put small (maybe 50 brightness) lights there to add a glow effect, and change the glass texture and it should look really good.

Looks good, my suggestions are:
Make the glass more transparent
Make the red lights, not so bright and not so red
Make the light cones a little more dim, do the spin?
Make the glass roof arch more round, and if the r_speeds are low enough, add a few more sides
Add a few lights from the roof, to brighten it up a bit.

thanks for the suggestions, and yes, they do spin
