well, me having never played NS, I cant compare, but from just mapping perspective, looks nice.

first pic: that yellow texture on the floor (middle of pic) looks out of place.

Other 'n that,

I'd like to point out for the people who like technical things, that hive area is a 5 prong star, thats done perfectly and fits up perfectly.All vertices match up to the grid and everything.

Sorry, that's my fault... I keep him locked up in his little NW cage a few too many hours a day. [addsig]

/me points out to andrew, that he might need some sunshine occasionally, if you want him to remain healthy.. consider letting master ferret out to play occasionally

Only parts I have a problem with are Pics 1 (lower part) and 4 (upper part); lighting seems a little too muddled/busy/unfocused. Kind of looks a bit weird. But I really love the hive and those hallways/corridors - absolute "pwnage". [addsig]

Damn it, didn't notice I'd been disconnected while writing my post, so here goes again...

In the first picture, I'm loving that top light fixture, but as Wild said, that yellow trim needs to go. The colour might be needed but it looks incredibly out of place to my eyes. The downstairs region also looks much too washed out as CJ mentioned.

To be honest, I think a lot of the shots suffer from flat light in places, despite some fixtures that should be providing ample potential for variation. Shot 6 is probably the worst example of this - the floor should be best lit on the left hand side, and the ceiling the right hand lights are pointing at should have a greater amount of light on them than the floor below. I'm perhaps being over critical here, its just the way I see it.

Finally, I think that outdoors area in the last shot provides a great variation, but the screenshot seems to suggest its just encased in a skybox with no brushwork other than the (admittedly very atmospheric and stylish) building itself. If thats the case I think it deserves some extra work.

Oh and the 5 pronged hive rocks, nice interesting shape Infestation on the ground looks a bit simplistic though, if you can afford the extra polies you should maybe smooth it out a bit, provided the clipping doesn't suffer.

I take back that comment about a lot of the shots looking washed out - my monitor was set at 100 brightness, I normally have it at 80 I still think shot 6 could be improved in terms of lighting however. [addsig]

Wow! I want to go to that school! Our projects were more like 'make an access database' or 'do an experiment to calculate the salt content of potato'.

That hive room looks stunning! I am tempted to agree with what Reno said about lighting, but I know how differnt NS can look in game compared to screenshots which may have had brightness/contrast adjustments made to them...

I don't think fetter used the env_gamma actually. smiley I really dig that hive and the rest of the level though. Especially the hive though. [addsig]

What kind of school project is this lol?! I wanna go to your school!

Looks like a cool map, though I think it's far too bright, doesn't have the scare factor that alot of NS levels lack. Gotta have them little dark corners where you think to yourself... did I see a lerker just then? Or a pipe?

Looks great. The third shot is my favorite for sure. Almost looks like some sci-fi anime.

Screenshot 4 - can you get a sharper wall texture for that blue part at the bottom? Since you seem to be standing in that trough it'd be nice if it wasn't so blurry and stretched looking.

Also, align those textures on the metal dealie in shot 4. Maybe you could put some little glue block thing to sort of connect them and hide the fact that they don't align right, you know?

I really like NS maps that use a lot of yellow trim and stuff. Areas with lots of high constrast between light and dark (e.g. a dark metal area with some brightish yellow paint around) can look really really neat. [addsig]

Wow. That looks excellent Only mistake I see is the nasty texture alignment in shot 4 - the horizontal stripes on the ceiling just don't fit. But that is picky, picky detail.

One of those "jaw drop" moments, to be honest
