dm_archt WIP [HL2DM] (Completed)

    Excellent work, I realy like the brushwork, but the lighting needs a little more contrast in some areas and some more decals in some more empty areas and this map will be pretty sweet.

    I just have to say thanks for all the great feedback I'm getting here, It's really appreciated!

    I think this is a fantastically awesome geometric idea and could be the strongest landmark in the map but the surrounding geometry doesn't support that very well (both literally and figuratively).

    For starters, as awesome as the cut-through terrain is, the 8 (at best) unit lip at the bottom just doesn't cut it. I'd go for at least a 32 concrete support, like there's real effort going into keeping that ground up there. Ferret's general comment about thicker walls definitely applies, too; it's tough to know for sure without a real sense of scale but it looks like some of these walls and floors are in the 4 unit range, which is really way too thin - even in real-world building you'd not want to go thinner than 8 units for a wall, and typically in this sort of style you'd exaggerate things a bit more.

    First, thnx =P

    Second.. Good point, I'll incorporate that.. Wont be to much work.

    Nice brushwork! I'm really interested about the amount of brushes in the level, must be a lot. If it's not a problem, I'd add some faces to some of the arches tho. Also, the roof in the image below needs some work, at least the texture used in it.http://%7boption%7d

    Lovely!

    Right now its:

    4769 solids and 27123 Faces..

    I'm increasing the thickness of the arches in the later photo and I'm thinking of replacing the brick textures on the arches..

    Looking good! In this screenshot, what is causing the tiles to be all broken up? Maybe you could put a crater or something to show an explosion took place to upset the floor? or is there something there that does not show in the screenshot?

    You don't always need a reason to have broken up tiles. You can have detail without reason.

    Hey guys!

    Ive finished the map now..

    Or it has been finished for a few weeks, but I haven't gotten the time to release it since I'm doing other projects atm.

    Would just like to thank all of you that has given me all the great feedback and constructive criticism.

    I made a new thread about the final version of the map and you can find that here:
