Yeah, that cliff is aweful, the brush is much longer then it is tall, meaning the points of the triangles are very stretched.

Any good ideas for brush work? I can't think of any places now I've opened the map...

I don't actually know the best place to put cube maps. I've read lots of tuts about how to raise the cubemaps, but nothing saying where in the map they need to be.

I have some ideas to liven up the brush work though.... Thanks!

I think your rooms look an ok size, but you need to make them a bit less boxy wher possible. Follow DrGlass's advice - columns, pillars, support beams (on that note, the ones you have in the third screenshot are lit horribly, might be a cubemap related issue), alcoves - all of these things help make rooms more interesting. If we take the second picture, you have far more potential to make that "threshold" type thing more interesting, by perhaps leaving a section of wall above the opening, and giving a metal or wooden trim that is a little thinner than the wall itself perhaps. The outdoors area could use a less flat ceiling line, and that will make it look far more realistic.

Good effort though, keep it up. Looking nice enough for a first effort " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

just remeber to focus on detail brush work. Colloms, supports, etc. Your rooms are flat and over sized, you need the brush work to break up the large spaces and create some light contrast.

Get some screenshots up - people are far more likely to give you feedback if you do
