    Very nice.
    The rims along the edges of the floor are good, aswell as adding some interest to the ground surface which sometimes lacks in detail.
    The faction of the floor that has been lodged out looks good, but try thining it as it looks a tad thick..or add a nice rim texture.

    The roof is interesting, although I cant really see what is on the lowered part, except from some cables which again is nice eye candy. What I suggest is to add metal grates in the lowered roof part so the player can actualy see the nice arching proper roof, which connects both.

    The lights along the sides of the walls are good and different. The design is nice and modern adding to the futuristic space feel <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    watch out and do overdo the use of green lights, it could be dangerous. The top of the roof might be a bit bright, tone it down.

    At the moment this is looking very nice <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Looks nice, however, those 966 polies are not. They're probably coming from those holes in the wall. Carving with a less detailed shape works well, and you probably carved them all from the same brush. Don't. Split the large wall brush up into smaller pieces, with sections in between each hole, then carve it, and it'll drop your w_polys like a stone.

    What if i make all the details func_wall would that help much although light goes through func_walls so i havnt used any there


    Could the high w-poly be due to the room i added at the end i mite try adding some sort of vis blocker at the end

    i did cut up the brush into smaler bits for most of my carving but thankx 4 the tip

    Dont carve. It looks like most everything is carved in that shot. On a rare occasion the clip tool might be usefull, but there is <i>nothing</i> that carving does that cant be accomplished with vertex manipulation. Do a little test...rebuild the same exact hallway without using carve. That same shot will be about 200-300 Wpoly.

    it is all carved due to me being a semi nub mapper and vertex manipulation allways gives me problems anyone know any good tutorials on it?

    The best tutorial IMO is to just mess around with it yourself...

    Besides, its not to hard, just dont try to make too complicated brushes.

    ive taken your comments/tips on board and ive managed to considerably lower r_speeds by using vertex manipulation in place and by using some func_walls

    heres some pics
