Indeed, habboi's map is looking pure sex, and Dim's express map is coming along very nicely

Hey Daubster, the maps pretty balanced though we're concerned it doesn't run too well on some PC's. Like for example I get 60 fps in bomb b and have an average PC but my friend with a powerful PC gets 25 fps in the same area.
I've had to replace most of the fancy effects with lesser ones and we changed several things but other than that we're probably gonna release b1 today. I may end up making an SE version for smooth framerates and keep the pretty one for the portfolio.
It's unlikely it'd be accepted as a tournament map because they're very specific about prop placement and framerate. They want a bland map with clear lighting, no dark areas and 300 fps.
Ok dudes, de_cistern_b1 is out for the public to play. Enjoy!

Holy shit! This is probably one of the greatest maps I've ever seen!
My only two complaints are that the water's cubemaps might need some adjusting, and you can throw the bomb into the pit.
Would you mind if I ask for the vmf? I would love to take a look at your design style. (It's how I've learned mapping thus far.)

Since people are probably gonna decompile it and find a huge ton of error models and pink textures I'll most likely release it officially in a seperate rar with the textures and models. I'll discuss it with my partner.
Thanks for the feedback. The bomb issue is something Stoke said and I left it as it is for now. Water cubemaps, well I think that's a problem with the fact source cant handle multiple water brushes at different heights. It's a problem I had to fight by using cheap versions of the water.
Oh and I made a document you can read here detailing all my design thoughts:

They want a bland map with clear lighting, no dark areas and 300 fps.Too true - it's a massive shame.
Will check it out later on!

Tremplar, that ship looks like something from the Blizzard universe. I like it a lot!!!
TJB that log looks sweet. Do you use Photoshop?
I usually use Paint.net.. but i hear GIMP is pretty decent.. Suggestions?
The map that isnt going to be finished in time for the compo.
Nor do i have enough time for custom textures yippee

TJB that log fire is pretty sweet looking. I always hate how chunky the surrounding stuff in Goldsource always looks. With no shadow beneath it or anything around at a similar resolution, it sticks out.
Purely as suggestions, you could make a texture of the panel or cement slab the log sits upon. Most fireplaces have this anyway. In that texture, you could extend elements of the model into the environment, like dust, char, and parts of the shadowing that it would cause. With the space beneath the cradle, it'd look awesome. If you want to take just one step further, paint the lighted parts on a black texture and flicker an additive overlay on top, like the computer screens in Natural Selection 1.
I did a fireplace in my Link's House map. I replaced the bubble sprite texture with a hot dot and used that as floating embers... I also think I made the stuff beneath the fire a part of the model as well, I can't exactly remember.
Fireplaces are a huge focal point by design and would easily be one in any room that has one. Especially in a dark evening timed setting with not a whole lot of other things.
Whatever you are working on, I hope that this helps you spawn some creative ideas. If its for practice, practice good work.

All are excellent suggestions Rimrook. I had been trying to get it more lifelike by messing with the lighting, it had never occurred to me to think of all those extra details. And that also answers a question I've always had, being 'Why are all the fires in Hald-Life so lifeless?'. None of them had any of those little details.
And I used Paint.NET for most of the work Tetsu0, but I then transferred the file to my tablet which has Photoshop Touch so I could do the glowing embers, as the stylus makes it a bit easier to do that kind of thing. You might also notice there are faint white streaks here and there one it. I had attempted to make it look like some of the bits of log had turned to ash, but I wasn't able to do it well enough. I then found out that PS Touch has a quite limited amount of undo's available.
As for what it is, I had an idea for a fancy house made from a converted lighthouse, so I decided I would build it. It would also be an excuse to force myself to start practicing texture making.
Plus, even though it's not really my house I thought it might make a nice addition to the Map Your House Coop project if CT is still interested. I haven't posted it in the thread, or any pictures of the house itself in this thread yet because it's still rather WIP.

Dynamic brushwork? I have no idea what you are talking about. That looks really good, although quite blocky. Try using smoothing groups on some of those corners!

@Trempler, well this map started as a dream (the track area to be exact).
In my dream it was just a big vertical concrete room with walkways and ladders. From there on it turned into some kind of small secured storage/subsurface transportation area used to supply sections of the Lambda complex including a branch of the Lambda coolant system located above it.
I don't really plan much, I just map as I go. Figured I could include this thing into a map pack I'm making, nothing spectacular. Just another BM themed map pack. I don't know if I will ever release it, it's just a hobby as of now.
