This is the first REAL map i've made. There really isn't much point to it yet except for the fact that i made a button work all by myself! haha i know it's super easy and stuff...but it made me happy. ^.^
BSP now available!
EDIT: I've done a few more things to the map...I'm sorry if it's annoying to repost the same map...if it is, please let me know.
Try changing the color of the light in your next map, and also rotate the tables and other objects in your map slightly so not everything is orthogonal to each other.
Actually, I think it's good for a first map. My first one was a L-shaped corner... not that I ever showed that to anyone except for my family, but hey...
Anyway. There's a leak in the .rmf you uploaded. I'd recommend mapping with Snap to Grid on, and using a rough grid size for the base architecture (something like a 32 or 64 size). It's easier to prevent leaks that way. When dealing with detail, you can switch to lower grid sizes quickly with the [ and ] keys.
Give that ladder a Render FX - Solid, and a Render Amount - 255 to make the black parts invisible.
Other than that, keep going, and post .bsp's next time.
I liked the details!
Im giving you a 3 of 5, just for motivation to be better ^^
Good luck!
the upturned chair looks nice from the screenie
I liked the detailed chair pushables and the tables, and the whole place reminded me of my freind's hunting cabin! I also liked how random this map is, sort of like letting your subconsious flow into hammer, at least that's what it made me think of. Interesting red lighting too, and the flickering reminded me of lightning!
Nice job!
but thank you for your compliments!
