How'd you get that dark endless tunnel effect?

The prop is made like that ? :O

Has a similar effect to what is used in the model, can been seen in Mann Manor around the cp and broken beams

Not bad, the sprites should be larger though so they merge, or replace them with env_glow's with a low max render distance to increase performance.

Also, indent your doors in that detail room

Looks like a cross between hydro and steel.

I see potential issues with reflection seams on those floors.

That looks pretty awesome Ravage, I hope you don't come to regret all this early detailing later.

To be honest, I can see the merits of working out the detailing first, as a sort of very complex concept art. When I do my contest map, I'm considering detailing the whole thing first, and then de-making it into dev textures for the alpha release. Helps me have an idea what I'm ultimately working toward.

This just happened when I was moving a couple of overlays around:

Actually the first time I had a lol moment in hammer, felt great for a hardworking mapper and I just had to post it

I decided to make the health kit harder to reach

Grid artpass entry, almost finished, just need a bit more detailing

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Deloras that looks amazing.

@God... That looks TOO thin, imo.

Thats the idea XD

Unless you've used displacements to prevent skybox brushes culling your rooftop, that doesn't look optimised at all deloras.

 

[LeSwordfish]

Presumably Grid would be a nightmare to optimise anyway? Apart from areaportals over every door...

Though i wouldnt know.

It's an artpass entry, you shouldn't get good fps on it, it should just be good looking I guess?

I don't see what you are talking about, can you be more precise please?

And optimization is part of the notation.

Was playing around with some console commands, later on with photoshop. Theehee!

Godslayer, that healthkit looks useless. In Lumberyard, there're two ways for the health, so you can keep going without changing direction. Your health placement is way too dangerous to be worth it.

Taking that into account I have now kept the dock tie thingy and moved it back were it previously was yet a bit closer to the edge
