Yea, that's the same shot like in the WIP thread, only some slightly updated geometry!

I start fiddling with lighting very early as I think it's the fastest way of getting a sense for the look and feel. The ground brush-work is actually very basic here, but you can see what's my goal. I hope I can show some screens of other areas of the map soon.

There are a lot of more "metallic" areas I want to get in here so maybe the map name will change to "dm_metal" (joke...) or hopefully something more fitting by the time it's release-ready. The layout is pretty much finished and I'm moving fast this time :heee:

Hey, reaper47, nice to see more from you. :smile:

I like the screenshots - in fact the first one reminds me of something else I've seen here, maybe it was a WIP or abandoned map of yours? Regardless, it looks great; the sunlight filtering down through the window gives a very nice contrast (though in the first shot, at the left; bump up the lightmap scale). I also really like the orange glow on the stairs, which would look to be bounced light from the sun. Very realistic. The contrast between blue in the bottom area and yellow elsewhere is nice. :smile: The whole look of the first screen, kind of this concrete structure built upwards, just looks real. The concrete looks thick and heavy, everything has weight to it... maybe it's partially the angle of the shot, or the realistic lighting.. or good architecture. :smile:

Your description sounds very interesting. "Corrugated sheet iron and concrete" - I like the mental image I'm getting. :smile: Also having some parts underwater sounds like a very cool gameplay element.

Lighting looks and sounds like it's going to be great. :smile: Looks quite nice so far, give us some more screens! :biggrin:
