Some images from Kombu (the connector building of 1st and 2nd for anyone who knows the layout)
I think lighting may still need a bit of work though.

That's quite a lot of gray :v

I'm with Seba, that amount of gray is just flat out depressing. Maybe you could sneak a few browns in, or just something to break up the monotony....

You can download a vignette plugin for paint.net and create an alpha channel from that.
GIMP can also do alpha channels, but damned if I can figure out how to edit one without affecting the content of the others, which is kind of important here.

I feel like I should be offering a free service to people: Need something done to your texture that requires Photoshop or popular fonts you don't have or just more VTF savvy than you have? Send me your source file and tell me what you want done with it, and I'll send it back awesome.

Very nice use of the powerhouse aesthetic. If I can suggest something, add a little more hazard yellow on the opposing wall. There's something about a bright yellow amongst industrial grey that is so appealing.

Maybe even more lighting on the yellow that is already there, just to make it pop.

this concrete block here looks a bit odd

I already changed it to fit the wall, it took me a while to realize I didn't like it.

Edit: Here's a little bit more cleaned up version, it's not all there, but it's slowly working itself towards what I want:

Could this be a sneak peak of my HL2 puzzle mod? I think it might be.

And this crap puzzle which took me a weekend to make.

Well I aim the competitive audience with this map, we'll see how it works but it could be a lot of fun :thumbup1:

Just a word of advice, competitive players generally don't like snow or night skyboxes in maps, and your map has both. Night skyboxes make it very hard to see rocket jumping soldiers or demomen, and seeing that that's a key part of competitive TF2 I'd predict you'll get requests from competitive players to change the skybox. Snow apparently can result in low fps (although I've never experienced it myself), and also makes it hard to distinguish between players for colorblind players.

That's just my two cents. Maybe you'll want to talk to Scorpio or someone else with a lot of competitive mapping experience under their belt.

This is good, but i think the crate should be something different - my instinct is that that crate should break under that pressure.
