It looks great so far. Only thing you should do is add more to the second screenshot, and since you mentioned that I hope to see more. :lol:

Thanks for the advice guys, I think if I turn down the texture lighting a bit, it should create more contrast to the area, I still have to add the train, security booth and entrance into The Hive, along with some barrels, metal crates, and forklifts. If anybody has links to some better textures, it would be great if you could post them.

This is one of my first maps and I appreciate the constructive criticism. I'll keep updating the map profile as I complete and tweak the different sections of The Hive.

Pretty much as others have said. your archatechture looks great, but those textures are terminaly insipid. More contrast, some colored accents.. ect.. it just isn't very interesting atm.

that third screen in the map profile reminds me of a Nightwatch shot. I'm not accusing you of anything, they just look similar. :smile:

TBH, the shots look really bland (although fair enough, the sets in the movie were blander than bland as well :smile: ). I suggest you try to create a larger ligh/dark contrast in your lighting, should make it look more sinister. Also, try to use some better textures; instead of copying the movie's bland sets, spice them up a bit.

If you're serious about this as a project, I'd suggest getting a texture artist to help you out. Your architecture is fine, but the bland textures let it down. Nice work so far, hope you see it through.

If done nicely, that laser room from the film would make a nice puzzle-esque thing or even a cool scripted sequence.

Oh man. Nice. I think ralph has a good suggestion there. I'd suggest to have the Umbrella Corps train travel by every once in awhile :)

OMG! This looks really nice. The first and third pictures just look sweet. Only thing I'd suggest is adding those metal crates from the movie to screenshot 2. Good job. :)

Ooo! I'm a RE freak (as you can tell from my profile) so keep up the good work man and make this map nice :D
