    not really a map yet, but i'm pretty sure i'll kill myself if i don't do something with it. I'm going to try to develope this style a LOT before i take a go at a serious classic NS map. But anyway... yeah. i just thought i might post it here for comments and crits.

    Looks neat, almost doom 3 ish, doesn't really look like a new style though.

    it looks nice indeed, but this fucking strong gamma make it look sorta unpleasant IMO. With this intensity of shadow you can barely use textures in your favor, since they will be very "hidden" in the shadows. And the colors dont fit each other, I mean, red x yellow looks good, but yellow x white looks gay. Maybe its just me, but this is my opinion

    W00t . Orange and red comes together.

    It's a nice start Belg.

    mm.. it's definetly a new style for me at least. kind of a mix between kenbanks and blueman, but i sort of mapped similarly to blueman anyway. just taking a few extra tips from ns_nothing.

    i'm really not sure why you think adding white to the mix makes it look gay. White is very important i think. If a map is completely lacking white it feels... i dunno. not ugly, but it's as if you don't get a break. i like white. i did try adding a bounce of 1 and.. well, it feels better and worse. It's lighter, which is good for gameplay, but it doesn't have quite the same feel. and not nearly so much contrast (i liked the contrast) but as i said, trying to experiment with, what is for me, a new style.

    white is cool indeed but it just doesnt fit well with orange. Moreover you also have some red lights on the same part, this is what makes it feel weird imo, the mix of 3 diff colors, not the white itself

    uhm...I like this alot!

    the gamma is just cool and the mix of the 3 different colors does fit imo!

    but I fear player models will look out of place.

    imagine a player running down that area flshing up every time he hits a lit area!

    especially at the transition from bright to dark (or dark-bríght) it may look weird!

    Looks cool, but I agree with DD that it isnt a new style

    Just looks like a variation of the general NS style :G

    It's too colorful and contrasty in my opinion. It makes it look rather unrealistic. Brushwork looks cool though.

    yeah, i dig the brushwork, but im sorry, that lighting is just too much for the hl lighting engine to handle, im my opinion.

    Good BW , nice shadows ( although you show the old HL Engine it`s frontiers )and sweet spritework.

    Nice scene. Add some detail and make use of it as a picture map...

    (@first i thought , i would look at a UT2kx Map! )

    too many colors so that there doesn't look like it has a coherant look to it. Remove either blue, red, or yellow from the scene.
