most original. i like originality. hence my liking of this map so far. good work. ^_^ and yes, try out shadows some more. while it is nice to have a well lit map again, it couldn't hurt to have a shadow or two around.
yeah, the last pic shows the advancement <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> spot on.
The lighting has created alot more spectral surroundings. The eerieness has been achieved <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> well done. Keep it up.
Just love the positioning of that res node.
Also have you re-textured the pipe on the celing? or is it just the light? either way..it looks alot better. Its more cold looking.
Im impressed. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I thought it looked a bit too bright.Im working on some nice dark skulking spots!!
Mr.Mustard:The texture hasnt been changed,i just added some supports for the pipe.
Ideas for the map are coming to me now so expect more screenshots soon. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I no its a bit bright but i just wanted to get some feedback on this hive area before i went any further with it because i've been tryin to get a hive room that looks good and this is the best so far!!
BTW: the blue thingy incase you didnt no is the "power" stuff,thingy,material,substance being extracted
Looking good. Nice relevance to the power generator thingy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
It needs more festation, but you have said you want opinions before you go any further, so it can be added later.
I think the lighting should be toned down, so the power Generator can give off light, creating more emphasis to it while also darkening the hive. Also The actual Hive itself looks cramped, and un-natural. Maybe creating a special place for it in the room would give it more significance.
More pipes or rockfaces or broken/damaged pipes, panels, pillars etc would help the Hive become more atmospheric, and alien like. And also a safe haven for them pesky Skulks etc.
Im not really a festation man myself.not too keen on it but i'll give it a go. now that you mention it the hive is a bit cramped. hopefully i'll have a revamped screeny of the hive in an hour or so <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> . thanx again <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
No problems mate <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Dont have to go over the top with festation just a bit on the walls..and stringed webs on the power generator, giving the impression the Aliens tried to layer the Generator..but the heat would not agree with their lovely fungus. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Well..thats what it says to me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

heres the last pic of ns_power you will see for a while because its really annoying me now, cant seem to do anything right or make any new original or at least decent looking parts to the map.
So im just gonna give it a break for a while a loooong while!!!
This map is looking promosing. Its sad to leave it. But hopefully when you come back you will be full of ideas.
The last pic is looking really nice. the lighting is saucy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

r_speeds are reaching 560 so i cant add any more detail and stuffs.
So after about 5 compiles i ended up with this!!!!
