<div class="IPBDescription">So far, not bad...</div> I'm pleased with how this is turning out. I am getting pretty good at at making curves with Valve Hammer Editor. (That used to be something I had major trouble with.) How's it look? r_speeds at about 350-410.

[Edit: The original image here had been doctored to make it look brighter. I've re-uploaded the raw output from pressing F5. It's slightly darker than in the game, but it's probably closer than my overbrightened pic.]

    My only complaint is that the lighting is too uniform and the walls are a little empty... maybe some supports?

    It's looking good <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> I like it.

    Looks like you have a good start there but the walls feel kinda empty.

    I'd like to see a more detailed texture on the lower part of the surrounding walls and some details to break up the gold pipes.

    Makes me think of 'Return of the Jedi'

    I think the lighting is fine. High-tech things like reactors SHOULD be brightly lit.

    "Return of the Jedi," huh? The inspiration was mainly "Metroid Fusion." But, whatever. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That bright ring of light is only on the floor, you know. There's still plenty of shadows overhead. Also, keep in mind that not every room is going to be this bright. As an experiment, I'll see what it looks like with alternating light panels instead of a solid strip along the generator. Also, I'm reducing the brightness of the green light inside the core:

    I'll definitely add some supports and stuff around the pipes if I decide to keep them. Actually, the pipes kinda came along for the ride when I coped and pasted the first few sections from this area:

    it needs a scorpian that hovars without flapping.

    err, I mean, actually I agree with chrome, the lower wall needs something to make it feel less blank. If anything you could throw a few computer console type things up there, you know with some flashing lights and other stuff. That would make the wall interesting, and it would fit with the idea. It also needs a no smoking sign somewhere, or at least a biohazard sign. Other than that it looks good.
