The lightning beams look like a rather fruity apple has exploded.

I'd suggest changing them to suit the colour of the chamber, or any kind of colour combination that would give the feeling of energy. Also, put an env_sprite in the centre of the beams, give it a render mode of additive, and FX ammount of 255, and use a sprite like sprites/animglow01.spr (Or any sprite of your preference). That'll make it look like they're actually coming from somewhere.

ok ill do it and post some screens.....

Battousaix

ok here it is..... i also added a new laser that comes from the ceiling...... and the thing that throws the laser is rotating at a damn high speed......

Curves and more transparent things would be nice.

I'm assuming we're critiquing just the generator, and not the entire room ('cause it's just a placeholder to look at it ingame), so...


retexturing looks great.

since this is not in the room its supposed to be in, I'm not sure how many more stuff you could add onto it, but.... I was thinking somekind of storage tanks on one side that hook up to it and you can have some particle systems for steam on those, also, some massive conduits leaving the generator (the power's gotta go somewhere)

those two things should help break up the cubeness of it ('cause it'll no longer by all symetrical)

ya i was thinkin bout some conducts leavin from the generator and some comps and some other stuff...
