what is this madness.
It's quite possible, Toomai, that you put too much effort into making that hole round. Obviously, the more surfaces you have the more of a pain it is to calculate vis and since, in my experience, players don't really notice anything greater than a 20 sided shape for large cylinders you'd probably be fine with that.
EDIT: Ehh, actually on closer inspection it looks like that is exactly what you did. Told you people can't tell the difference.

32 sides, and it's all func_detail, so vis just thinks it's a square. It's kind of the centerpiece of the map, it can use a bit of polish. (The drill itself will hopefully be a model instead of a cone brush eventually.)
It's also deep enough that it's impossible to see your corpse hit the bottom.

You can make a func_illusion at the bottom to make corpses disappear which fell in the pit. just an idea.
Why not use this drill model instead of that uh... giant pencil tip...?

Thought of that kind of thing, but when you fall in you still have the camera follow you down for a few seconds. I thought it was funnier to never see yourself hit bottom.
It's a placeholder. I'll have to decide if that drill fits with the map.
Do visleaves with a lot of sides actually present a calculation problem? Because that's what you'd be looking at here, a single pseudocylinder (not counting the automatic subdivisions VBSP makes at regular intervals). I always assumed those were way better than, say, rounded outer corners where you get a buttload of little wedges, but I hadn't thought about calculation complexity.
Gonna junk up the WIP thread with some more model stuffs:

If you want a giantic drill as on your screenshot then you can use the model scale option of prop_dynamic to make the drill fit the hole.
Surprising amount of fog in space there, Alias. It all looks good apart from that little wooden arrow in the last pic, and in fact wood in general (Do we have A, B, C signs/overlays from Asteroid - could somebody mock them up?). If not, forget about the signs for now - just find some good arrow overlay that you can put in there.
They were there as a placeholder. Its simply the props from the alpha stage during the 2ss contest. I did reduce the fog a bit since its true, space doesnt have alot of fog.
