<div class="IPBDescription">56k Beware! I mean it!</div> Below are five shots of the hive bit. As usual, bash them to smitherines! Ho ho ho... as soon as I can fix my plane issue, I shall release Ambeke, which hopefully won't be too much longer.

Without further ado, the shots:

    I like the cave bit with the fog. And that skybox is nice too.

    Let's just hope it doesn't get widowed.

    Map related, those computer screens in the second pic do look a bit bright, also try adding a few more fog sprites as having so few looks awkward to me (unless your worried about performance issues).

    Very nice, awesome skybox, was it you or Mr.Ben that started the glowing-organic-crystals thing?

    On another note, I don't like how those fog sprites clip against the wall, creating an abrupt change between "fog background" and "un-fog foreground" Assuming that you're using the light halo entity (whatever it's name is), couldn't you center it on the passageway and make it fit exactly *in*? That would get rid of the clipping.

    Looks pretty awesome, but I think you might have gone a bit crazy on the coloured lighting <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Excellent brush/texture/ambience work though.
    Seeing screenies of some of these great maps in here is kinda inspiring me to finish my own map :/

    an impressive skybox no doubt, but with a glowing green nebula nearby wouldn't one expect a bit of the ambient light to be tinted green? although i do realize that the artificial lighting of the station would largely drown out the light from outside, it would not be completely gone. i suppose that outdoor and darker areas would show this more. wouldn't this green also be noticeable on the rock faces?
    /end c&c

    great work as always zazi ~:)

    Looking great, just a single remark on the texture alignement of those pipe textures: it kinda sucks, completely destroying the illusion of a round surface.
    If you're a QuArK user, just use "wrap texture around pillar".
    If you're a WC/Hammer user, I believe KFS placed a tuturial on curved surfaces a while ago that should help with this, albeit with a lot more effort and poorer results. Basicaly, try to increase the texture size and make it seamlessly stretch across multiple faces sideways.

    And do you seriously need 200k per 640x480 jpeg image <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hrmm in Hammer I made a curved surface on my map and stretched the texture across it...
    From memory (been a while since I loaded up Hammer) select all the faces you want to use and I think there's an option there for "treat as one face" or something like that. I definitely remember doing it though - cos I was thinking "OMG what a godsend". <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Looks good, but, I see a really big problem in shot five.


    Notice how uneven the floor around the hive is. Thats going to be hell for both sides to build structures.
