i've already ripped out and rebuilt this curvy track thing here because it made no sense but i like the composition so i didn't take a new screenshot ;P

there is now a turnaround thing under the traincar and a doorway in the big wall next to it.

i recognize the interior is especially quite lacking, i've been improving it but i just feel kind of bleh about this map now.

the prefinal represents about five or six weeks of work.

Looks good man! I'll give it a shot after work

JynxDaddy · March 24, 2005 at 5:04 AM

Wow, that looks really good. Everything fits in together.

The skybox is rather dull in http://ginneh.home.comcast.net/dm_zeta_prefinal11.jpg though.

prefinal means your still welcome to crits right

You should add some more detail to the building walls too.

Looks quite lovely gins, I dig the lighting. That warehouse (or whatever the fuck it was supposed to be) looks specially nice as well.

I dont get whats the porpuse of all this trash around on this part though ( http://ginneh.home.comcast.net/dm_zeta_prefinal05.jpg ) ;o

I also dont get the theme at all, but I may be being stupid since I havent played HL2 yet.

GJ at all.

Not recently. Second map I released back in June 2001 was dm_zeta for HL. I think you'll be ok. Couldn't resist the comment, though

PhilipK · March 24, 2005 at 1:19 PM

omg, sexey work ginny

really nice to see you work on a hl2 map :]

DaanO · March 24, 2005 at 2:35 PM

I'll email you some feedback tonight, ok?

Steppenwolf · March 24, 2005 at 2:45 PM

Looks good! I like your organic mapping style. Its good to see stuff that isnt in a 90 degrees angle.

ReNo · March 24, 2005 at 5:00 PM

Looks awesome judging from screenshots, and I totally agree with Steppenwolf that its great to see some none square room layouts/architecture. I'll check it out later and tell you my thoughts.

RA7 · March 24, 2005 at 5:11 PM

ginsengavenger · March 24, 2005 at 5:46 PM

re: KFS: heheh alright ;D

JAL · March 24, 2005 at 5:56 PM

I like this one

mikezilla · March 24, 2005 at 8:15 PM

only thing i hate is seeing that sky texture and that lighting style AGAIN

we need more sky textures!!!

ginsengavenger · March 25, 2005 at 3:17 AM

yeah i know, i know. i was very intentionally staying away from the morningdew thing, didn't want any of it. it wasn't til the very end that i ripped out all the lighting and relit it because the map was really crying for that extra kick. anyway i understand but the map is definitely better for it i didn't make the decision lightly.

and yesss, moremoremore skiesskiesskies

MagicTMP · March 25, 2005 at 11:10 PM

wow. so curvy. makes it look so unnaturally natural and just great to look at. the lighting helps tremendously. overall, .

so um, weren't you the guy who made all the skies in BiA?

*cough*

DaanO · March 26, 2005 at 12:44 AM

No time yet to get you some proper feedback but my first impression was that it's very, very good. This should've won the HL2DM contest imo.
