2005 Competition Map
My map for the 2005 competition. The entire map takes place underwater in a complex which is now completely submerged. Not great, but it's my first attempt at mapping for source.
I'd imagine there is no actual water in the map - just bubbles and fog
to give the visual cues necessary to hold the illusion. You might
consider lowering the gravity a bit to give the illusion of being in
heavy old diving kits or something :smile:
Maybe you should make some of the props fallen over or something, make
it look like its been disturbed a bit and its on its side maybe... just
a thought, looks nice though
I
wouldn't recommend allowing the players to drown though. The water bug,
you know.
Oh, and the light beams in pic 1 look wrong, being yellow when the
window/background is green. I know they're a prop but they just
don't look right. Other than that, it looks secksy.

If you under water the whole time why dont you drown? Or do you have oxygen inside?
Oooh thats looking pretty cool mate :smile: Not often than you see
underwater done well, but this really gives off the right sort of feel
with the fogging and bubbles. You could put in a few convincing trap
effects through use of the good old func_push and copious amounts of
bubbles :biggrin:
I think you could do with spicing up the internal architecture a fair
bit, as its really somewhat simplistic just now. Pillars, trims,
ledges, alcoves, supports - you know the story. Good start though, good
luck getting it done in time!
