Wow! That 3d skybox has added so much depth to your map! I can't believe how much a simple background can make your map look so much better. It's really well done. I like those stairs better than the spiral ones aswell.

Excellent work, can't wait to see the final version How much would you say is complete by the way?

The actual structural work is about 90% complete, its mainly just a matter of detail now, which of course is even more time consuming!

Would still like someone to come take a look round with me to see what they think:D

Congrats dude, it look brilliant so far.

If you look hard enough theres a whole host of Mini models to use in 3D skyboxes. So I didnt have to do much except choose some suitable ones:D

I like the stairs now, but...

The glass windows of the reception room are curved. Usually, the junction of the curvature should have some sort of metal support (like the thin black support going horizontally). Actual curved glasses are expensive to make (not for the engine to render, but expensive in the real world, thereby making them rare).

And I don't think the texture is bad at all. I think they're quite appropriate (and believable) for the setting.

The skybox does indeed look good, but when you walk around the buildings will move with you, which will be awkward considering their apparent short distance from the map itself.

It shouldn't do that cass, 3D skyboxes stay in fixed locations. They take a small piece of brushwork and scale it up to create the illusion of scale even though the area taken up in the level is actually very small. If you look at maps like de_aztec, many of the upper floors of the buildings are actually part of the 3D skybox and yet they remain in position at all times.

Reno is right, the buildings stay fixed in place so when you move they scale to wherever you are. Unless like one attempt i put one too close to the skycam and it got bigger and bigger the closer I got to it but it was still outside the map...was freaky... like an invasion of balloon buildings!!

Satchmo im gonna slap you...grumble glass grumble.......

/me got slapped, leaving a red handprint across his cheek.

Ouch! But didn't you find the suggestion helpful? Don't the windows look much better and credible now?

Anyways, I like where your map is going. I just bought HL2 yesterday and I've started mapping already (I only finished about an hour worth of the game so far). I made my first (obligatory) box map in Source, just to get the kinks out of the compilation process.

hehe, good luck with the mapping I hope you stick with it as its very rewarding. Anything I can help with just ask! I cant wait to start picking on your maps

I just figured out something that I think you guys will love, if it works! Update in 25mins after the compile!

The lighting is nice, though the big empty concrete pad of a loading area just feels too empty to me - Add some garbage scattered around, maybe a few skidmark/trash decals, etc. - Just make it have a bit more detailing.

Looking pretty good, though.

Yeah Monkey I plan on a little petrol pump hut, parking barriers and some decal bits and pieces.

Overlays - don't you touch that decal tool Map is looking pretty good man, this is exceptional work for somebody of your experience level!

That's just the problem. I think it'd be equivalent to having things close to the camera in an HL1 map.

How's the map progressing? You haven't updated the map for more than two weeks? Is everything okay? Are you okay (or just busy with the holiday stuff)?
