That looks interesting ninja... what is it?
Also, are the textures temporary? It's just that it could look sooo much better with custom textures.

some new WIPs and a higher-res version of one of the many posters littered throughout The Core.

Looks great, especially liking that blood stain/smear in the second pic. Just one question: Why is there a Vault-Tec style round vent?
EDIT: I just got a close up look at the text on the poster. Very nice.

Working on a CS map, made a nuclear missile as one of the bomb points.Look up de_foption - it has a very similar setting.
@Skals: Always liked the havana texture pack - nice to see it utilized creatively. Lookin' good.
@Dragos: Cool choice for inspiration!

Nice atmosphere. The lighting looks good. Add trims to the pipes where they join the wall and add some kind of support from the ceiling for them. I think the pool is a bit out of place but it looks interesting. I mean carpets, wood, marble, what is this place? As far as I know it's part of Black Mesa, but why would it need to be so pretty and expensive? I also think a few couches, trash cans and a wending machine would fit in there.
EDIT: Also I think the bright wooden floor texture is a bit too bright and clean. I mean people are walking on it and Black Mesa is a pretty old place. Anyway just make the texture a bit darker and bit more dirty with some small scratches or something. There could be a bit more contrast among the planks too.

Sorry, I posted a big description of the area on moddb and forgot that I haven't actually explained it on TWHL at all
This is the executive floor of the Black Mesa Central Administration Building. I'll post what I put on ModDB.
The executive floor of the Central Administration Building is full of laminate flooring, thick carpets and shiny glass. It reeks of excess and you'll probably feel no sympathy for the men who work here. Well, worked here.
This is the first evidence that the alien invasion is not contained to the Anomalous Materials Lab. The admin building has begun to succumb to the onslaught of aliens and military alike, as both forces struggle to gain a foothold in this major Black Mesa location.
The player will have to decide whether the enemies are worth the ammo, as a valid tactic here is to hope that the two deadly forces are too distracted fighting each other to waste much time chasing the player. Don't bet on it, though.
Pacing and atmosphere are the key words here, as careful sneaking and puzzle solving will be peppered with short, intense moments of extreme action. As always, I really, really appreciate any and all feedback on my work, so let me know what you think! If you think something looks rubbish - it probably does and I've overlooked it, so please tell me about it!

Also make it more destructed. Rotate those pictures on the wall at messy angles. You could do this with one of the hanging monitors too. Try making a pipe broken and water running from it straight in to the pool 
You could even make the pool leaked.

If you break a pipe and make it flow into the pool, a sewage pipe would be a good choice, IMO.

Players enjoy silly things to interact with.
Try and make it possible to turn on and off the tv.
Have things that when you press them, they shut something like windows.
Have it possible to break something holding up a vent that will cause part of it to fall from the ceiling.
Make toilets flushable.
Make showers and sinks and all that fun stuff usable.
Players eat that stuff up.

Interactive environments are all well and good, but this is goldsource we're talking about. As far as I can tell, they're pushing the limits of the engine as is. Adding a bunch of extra interactive buttons such would break the game.

Lol, that doesn't look like pushing the limits to me. The only map so far that I can think of that pushes GoldSource was the huge BBC building room thingy.

In terms of number of visible ents, texture memory and light faces, all my maps for TC are pretty close to the limit. It's bloody annoying, because I have to compile RAD with sparse and occasionally entities start disappearing and I have to start combining func_walls in an area which is horrible for optimisation.

True 'dat brutta.
But really, I'm talking more like in the professional games. You can use the sink and the hand drier in Blue Shift. In Half Life, you can turn off the lights, play around with a scientist's message system, and turn on the alarms causing barney to shut them off and say "You tryin' to get me into trouble bro? Well, you in a mess of trouba now!"

Dimbark: I'm not even sure if The Core has predisaster maps; judging from the story, the mod might start when the player regains consciousness after the disaster. All of the examples you cited were from predisaster maps where there wasn't really any other gameplay to be had, because there were no enemies present.

I have to start combining func_walls in an area which is horrible for optimisation.Afaik for goldsrc, brush-based entities are rendered 100% of the time in the world to all players, so it don't think combining them will impact your map's performance.

You and me both.
I'm aiming for the end of summer, but that probably won't happen, as I have at least 5 maps to go, plus I want to redo the predisaster areas (even with that fixed, a portion of the mod will still be crap quality, but I'm not going to spend another extra year to redo it all)
With all the other stuff I have to do, such as community service hours so I can graduate next year, it'll be a while.

Yeah, a little. I never really got the hang of making complex objects or rooms with non-90 degree angles. You'll never see a desk at a 45 degree angle in my goldsource work, sadly.

Why not build at 90 degree angles and then rotate to 45 degrees by rotating while holding shift?

To texture something, You use UV mapping, go ahead and look that up. Some of the blender stuff I created is in that post where I was arguing with crollo.

I've been doing a bit of mapping, and I've been tired while doing it so I may have made mistakes. Most of this is rather bland other than the fact that it's all at an angle relative to the grid, due to it's orientation relative to the rest of the map.
A door will go where the red is
These are all very far from done, mainly I'm just posting this because I'm not sure which direction I want to go with the lighting. It's supposed to be part of a large-ish tram station in Black Mesa, but I can't decide whether I should keep it so that most of the power is out, leaving it dark like in the images, or whether it should be brighter, with only the occasional darker area. Thoughts?

Here is something I have in the works. It's part of a map recreation of the original Scientist Hunt maps, Joebama and I are working together on it. This one in the picture here is Scisub:
I've created all the subway textures and have made 3 variants so far. This is totally alpha at the moment and will probably change.

The bench need some changes. it uses the same texture too many times, and from afar it looks like some kind of stack of blocks.

It looks pretty good but you're only showing us a small portion of the map, we can't really come to a full conclusion unless you show us more then one angle and spot of the map.
