    the machinery in the middle behind the grating spins around to from the propulsion of the water, creating power for the rest of the level. There will be a control panel somewhere that will stop the machinery, locking doors, and other such things.

    looks very small... imagine this situation: <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo-->
    marine will die for sure because he has no way to get out...
    and:
    maybe you should take another texture for the top?
    and maybe you should align the light texture, think it's not alignt...
    whats inside the cage? maybe you can build a little podest where the cage stands on.

    don't make the cage so close to the actual stuff -- it makes it look very cramped, clumped together, and hard-to-see; so make the cage larger so we can see what's going on inside.

    Also the cage looks kind of wierd. I think the bars on it are just too big... might want to look into playing with the texture scale. I agree the room does look small...and where's the hive in all of this, can't find it. Also having some piles of infestation near that machine sounds good to me. For some reason I see the machine on/off being dependant on hive presence.... kind of like the hive grows into the machine and stops it. Other than that i'm fairly happy with it, and hope to see the same kind of quality growth your last room had.

    Not a hive room <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> its a room quite close to the hive. The cage in the middle houses a turbine which is propelled by flowing water which you cant see in this pic, i admit it is quite hard to see it and that will change.

    update, changed the lighting around, moved some textures, and made the cage easier to see through

    that looks much better - and u also fixed the lighting

    the blue lighhting looks much better on the eyes then the green in the old shots

    I like how the new cage doesn't as closely resembel the grate in the upper left corner. I also think the lighting is better. The blue manages to accomplish a "dark, otherworldly" feel with being... well, dark. I think it looks good for a hive area. Personally I don't think that infested areas should be well lit... the textures always come off looking bad to me. Good work so far.

    You might want to look into making the brushes for the grate thinner though. It seems like on the left of the center brush in your latest pic you can see the edge of a support that is on one of the butting faces. It's a picky little thing.... but that's about all the commentary i've left to make.

    great!

    rofl...monitor too dark. the pic looks good !!!
    don't you have a graphics card with gamma correction tools, anty?!? this should be standard since 5 years.
    most of the cards today also offer a brightness and contrast setting for each color.
    Or what about a picture editor that offers these effects?

    (I used my graphics drivers to make the colors of my old monitor some more friendly. They were contrastless, blueish and dark <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> . Fortunately I now have a nice cheap 19" monitor with sufficient gammut.

    Ive added the elevated area on the left with a railing, some grey pipes, and a res node. I think its looking rather plain. any ideas on some ways to add detail to it?

    I am not even angry that you spam the forum with dozens of pics and a thread for every single room! I like screenies.

    Update!!!

    okay ive added some interactive stuff in my map <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> fun fun
    ive "neatly labeled" everything that you can interact with so far. Now im going to tell you why you would want to.

    Say the marines take control of the hive and the surrounding area, they would then press the button which starts the turbine. The turbine powers the main doors in the area. because the main doors are now activated, the vents and emergency doors (the emergency doors are have smaller hallways and take longer to get through all of it) would close as they are for emergency use, the emergency being that the turbine is no longer powering the area. Basically making the area more marine-friendly.

    Now lets say the aliens took control of the area. They would press the button, which turns off the turbine, which closes the main doors and opens the emergency doors and vents, possibly switching to dimmer red lights. making the area more alien friendly.

    **EDIT** note that you cannot see all the emergency doors and main doors as they are not implemented yet, as well as the red lights.

    **EDIT** you may notice that i now have 1 post count, i was having problems changing my email and then something messed happened to my password so ya, i just made a new account without the underscores in my name
