Map Description

NOT a real map - just a map to link the WIP screenshots thread to. Just a workaround to make a non-map specific thread in the map forum in other words :)

Blocking out some shapes for my PQL3 entry. HL1 mapping is still fun... Although, I have to admit, it seems excrutiatingly underwhelming after HL2 mapping for a year. No sexy water, no fancy fogging or 3D skybox... Yikes!

Morphine, try using non-generic-crete textures. At the moment it's all very greyish. Be bold and experiment! :smile:

I've been working on the singleplayer AI arena that we've been talking about in the General forum, and this is what I've come up with so far.

Not much to show, I know, but I wanted to post something before I set off for school tomorrow to start the spring semester away from my desktop computer.

I'm also hoping this will encourage others to do the arena challenge.

looks like AvP2. which, to me, is a very very good thing.

I like the upper part of the room, but like AtM I think the ground could use some work. It just doesn't mesh too well - the elements clash with one another and to be honest, I don't think it works too well together with the rest of the texture selection. With some lighting that could look spiffy though. Thanks for posting too - don't let this thread die people :razz:

I like the subdued colors of the textures.

The only thing I don't particularly like is the way the curved trim on the ground interacts with the squarish textures of the main path. It might look better if the striaght parts of the curve aligned with the white parts of the floor texture.

Overall, nice use of curves. I like it.

Thinking about adding lighting?

That map was just to check to see if imageshack's thumbnail code worked
out. But that particular map took me 2 or 3 hours to make.
I never finished it, and it's way too orange :smile:

I started it over again at home, but then had to return to school and I
left it behind. If anything, it was really good displacement
practice.
