I would say that the tint of the light_environment's ambience needs to be a little more reddish/orangish.

i dont know how to put it, but there's a lack of subtle detail in most of those pics... you have some large props in most of the rooms and outside, but you need pipes running around, or something else to cover the walls. it definitely looks way too empty

Yep, and your lighting doesn't blend to good with the skybox you have, give it a purple/blue/orange ambient perhaps.

Jup sum more stuff and deatils, like debry, sum rocks, ....it reminds me of Crysis.

Getting there, yeah.. It's a bit more detailed!

Looking good so far m8, i agree with previous comments about the lighting though it could do with the tint being changed. You might also want to experiment with the brightess of it - the sun in that skybox is quite a glaring one yet the ground light is a bit washed out. I say spend some time tinkering with the lighting (even OTT lighting) just to see if anything clicks. Keep it up!

looking good man keep adding them details!

Nice work. Are you using HDR? There doesn't appear to be much range in the lighting.

I wasn't too sure how to tackle the lighting when I started my map either. I'd strongly recommend switching to HDR though. It'll make a massive improvement (especially to screenshots). None HDR lighting can easily be tweaked once the map is complete. You'll really notice the difference and appreciate HDR a lot more after

Massive improvement. I'd also recommend playing with the bottom lighting technique discribed in this tutorial http://%7boption%7d

It could really suite the area in the bottom pic and bringout the window shadows. I'd suggest using a spotlight with the same colour value as the sun directed at the block light brushes.

Looks like it's progressing well Meo, particularly the interior areas.

In the third pic you have a naked lightbulb with a conical glow on it. I think a circular env_glow would be more appropriate.

Are all the pics with HDR? The lighting outside looks a bit flat again though it could simply be due to the subtle sunset lighting not producing much light range. Maybe introduce some more light fixtures outside to create some stronger shadows and variation in colour.

*edit: Judging by the top down pic, looks like a solid layout that should play well. I like the various ways you blocked the player within the gameplay area.
