In the control room in a hive. It's supposed to Be like a fission reactor cooling room, so it's got a bunch of pipes that go down into a pool of water in teh middle, but you can't see all that because it's outside the door <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    more gamma.

    the first shot would apparently be cool, if I could see anything.

    The second shot looks ordinary, again it would help if I could see anything.

    The third shot looks fairly intresting though. The keyboard seems just a smidge low, but it probally looks fine ingame compaired to the height of a marine, right?

    Very nice. I think your lighting in the third shot needs work; especially *in* a hive room, try to spice it up with some downed lights, maybe a blinking light, sparks, etc. Make some shadows and highlights, break up the visual space a bit.

    The first shot looks fabulous. Can you access both the upper walkway and the floor of the room? It *is* a walkway, right?

    Dude, when you take a screenshot the image comes out looking like there's no gamma. How could you not know that? It's obviously darker ingame. And yes, you can see in there ingame.

    No need to get all defensive. They are aware of it, but they thought you had gamma corrected your screenshots.

    For info on how to gamma correct your screenshots look in the Mapping Forum FAQ which is stickied at the top.

    (And for those who are far too lazy to have a look in the FAQ)

    <b>A:</b> There's this really cool effect in NS where brigher things become brighter, and darker things stay the same. It lends a more vivid and realistic view to the whole map. If you have Photoshop, and you want the screenshot to look right, use this method to fix the gamma settings.
    <b><i>Go to Image->Adjust->Levels in Photoshop. There are three values next to "input level".  Change the last value according to this formula:
