Absolutely brilliant, Mr.Pro Map.
It's clearly Goldsource, but it still looks great. Maybe stop arguing and appreciate the work that has gone into it?

If I can't spot more than one HL texture then obviously he's doing a good job in texturing the area to where I can't tell if it is or not. Now, fuck off. Thanks.

Crollo: I would have at least one of those programs, but I'm extremely short on HD space at the moment. Hence the whole thing about getting a new hard drive.
Although I wasn't aware that they're unusable. I gave Joe that model and got a working one back after a while. :
I shall have to learn not to make assumptions.

After taking a break from the Duke Nukem 3D editor I decided to try out working with Hammer again. After my first release, which was over 2 years ago, I always wanted to go back and do something more. So after about a month of work I've finished two maps, the second one shown below, and another one set on Xen but it's so fucking small I won't bother taking any shots of it. Planning on making 3 or 4 maps but it depends on how much time I've got and before my patience runs out.

The first screen looks good. Maybe a bit too clean. Try adding some props. Try making one of the lamps not working for variation. The ground texture is a bit too clean. Try a more dirty, more realistic, more concrete like ground texture with more variation.
The second and third screens look a lot more poor than the first one. Very blocky and boring architecture. The lighting isn't too good. The mix of old low res textures and new high quality ones looks terrible. Some of them are very dirty while others are very clean. The ground is also way too clean. The glass is way too bright, make it more transparent. The railings are way too blocky and thick. The design of this area is just way too random. Try making a more consistent theme.

Those Screens from The Core are awesome! I think the lighting is good, though ya know me, its either well lit or high contrast. Maybe use some spotlights, and perhaps a subtle flare sprite on the lights. On the second and third image down, the light on the ceiling seems a bit large for the low amount of light given to the room. Just an opinion though.

while i respect dragos comments and knowledge, i disagree on some points
I feel the first screen looks perfectly detailed(no props needed imo), but the only distraction for me is the vertical flourecent lights on the wall, which just look a little. Very nice mapping!
2nd pic looks good to me though i'll agree some textures are a little too "clean" looking. (not bad just a little sterile)
I don't like anything that resembles a HL original wooden crate, so that is a bit of a distrcation for me in the second to last pic.
Last pic looks fine and that reenvisioned HL door looks nice. Is it bumpmapped?
can't wait to play the core good work guize! =)

You see it's not only about looks. There is also logic. You don't want to waste huge amounts of space in a research facility deep underground.

Meet the Yiang class gunship. Because while US vs China has been kind of done to death at this point, it hasn't been done to death enough.
Also, I like Urby's first pic. I like clean, there wouldn't really be that much reason for an administrative area to be too dirty.

ya, but think of unlimited black budgets to tunnel out whatever the BM doodz deem necessary. =) No matter how you present them, small cramped areas are displeasing to look at, no matter how realistic, at least imo.

Have to consider if any sort of traffic goes through, or if utility carts or golf carts travel through the long tunnels as well. Things do have to fit some how. As for the screenshots, I think they all work space-wise. However I just noticed the third screenshot has a large hydraulic platform for large items. However, the door behind it on the wall is half of its width. It doesn't make sense because anything small enough to go through a door that size could go down a ramp. Make the door bigger perhaps?

The funny thing is, that tends to be one of my failings at mapping. I concentrate so much on making everything realistic that my brain melts and I don't finish.

It is based of a photo of a Lego spaceship I found.
I decided to build it, and then make a little area around it to display it. I'm actually going to modify the design to reduce the level of plagiarism somewhat, and then it will be used in my current mapping project.

So many memories of mapping with lego.. as well construx, wooden blocks, even the really old sets like lincoln logs and tinker toys and others. =)

C'mon guys. There's nothing stopping you from getting back into lego There's usually at least one large container full of the stuff around this house.

It would probably be better for the Apache rather than the Osprey, there doesn't seem to be much room for troops in it. Unless of course I modify it to make a troop transport. :
And I would make a model, but it would be useless. I need to get 3DS Max. :
And Lego is awesome.
I was supposed to be getting some for my birthday but it never arrived. D:

I think your architecture is inspiring, but you're not showing very much of your map. Or it's just that it's a wip?
I've started this map in spring... I blame Vrad.exe for slow progress.

That's pretty much it so far, there is another area behind that door, check a few pages back for a screenshot of it.
I like the lighting in the shot above, though the buildings seem a little flat and the side walk seems odd, needs a different texture. Other then that it's not bad.

You wanted to see it compiled, so there you go:
The shape of curved structure itself is made by removing and connecting certain segments of a simple circular arch. The curved slopes are made of triangles to avoid any invalid structures. To texture it nice and seamlessly I used a very simple trick: flatten the whole structure, apply texture to world and expand again.
Some experimenting with stained glass:
It's done by making the glass opaque to block light and using zhlt_customshadow to change the color of the shadow.
