good question, I've got both and learning to work with both of them. To see which fits me better.
I find it more a neccesity to learn to model if I wish to map for modern engine's or be stuck with using the same meshes/props everyone else uses. Rather than just curiosity.
-> Soldat <- sweet LAN game
what is it? looks like a mechanical insect leg or something with a hazard symbol on it
i'll just wait on UE3, it had lightning preview from UE1... hammer has always been behind, plus UE1 workflow feeled better to me
sdk crashes after update...steam is one of the worst inventions on the world...
cant load filesystemopendialog.dll
missing material 'materials/flatnocull'
game dir is correct
:s same problem
Looks good,
Lightning needs work imo
- it's a bit monotone, colourless
- the sources and amount of light don't always match
you can't paint lines on gravel, so making it look like gravel makes no sense.
Tone done that normalmap a bit.
Looks good but empty at places, to open. Last screenshot could use some more colour.
The road texture seems out of place to me in the first screenshot. Why would anyone build over a road?
Anyway, I would like to see more screenshots, to have a better idea of the maps layout etc...
Quote from AlgorWhile it reminds me of the Might & Magic game on source (not so good), this particular map looks very well put together and themed. Great work on the material and prop choices
Exactly what I was thinking, Dark Messiah of M&M...
On the map, crates look out of place. Barrels, baskets would fit better

how could you seriously play an international game in an outfit twice you size???
no matter how bad or unispired an idea is, it can always improve, beyond your imagination.
speedpainting? damn they look amazing.
Good job.
better than porn (not really but close)
I kind of them got them working but I can only see a few textures. Some textures I can see underneath the purple checker which is odd, it's as if it is missing a stage or something.
Got that too, I've done all the steps that should fix them but nothing worked.
Anyway, I'll wait till the SDK is released, gives me time to pounder on my idea "ctf map that puts 2 secret supervillain bases to eachother" now, don't you go and steal the best idea since post-it's 
Anyway, ON TOPIC:
Looks like you could do some more work on it, give it more shape, more variety... Looks very blocky and cubic. Textures been said. Make it feel more like a real place "in comics ..."
Keep up the good work

Those windmill thingies are way out of proportion.
Overall boring and empty, brushwork could very well been from a HL1 mod.
Quote from Rick_Dalso there is no need for a watermark - no-one here will steal your stuff.
I had it laying around watermarked
did you tile them right beside eachother
if not its really repetitious
tiling goes as:
trim | trim
--------------
clean | clean
----------------
moss | moss
Something I made for I don't know why... some time ago

Good work! hope to see it on many servers soon.
TF2 will sport some sweet custom maps if you'd ask me.
sexeh, Am I odd for expecting to see a gnome behind each rock or tree?
