This is a a discussion topic for the map "Cavern" by ReNo which can be found here

Map description:

Ultra-early (pretty much concept) shots of a dungeon/mine map I'm playing around with. This is a continuation of the theme I was using for my contribution to DrGlass's mosaic project, which unfortunately seems to have died. I'm aiming for a Vagrant Story style atmosphere, as that game had some awesome areas of a similar style. I'm planning on having it all take place underground, but may have the odd glimpse of sunshine breaking through here and there.

Also note my funky new watermark thing on the screenshots. Let me know if you think its uber sexy, horrbly intrusive, or just plain ugly :D

It's your choice, but I think you should channel your time towards completing echo. If the fact that it looks awsome isn't enough to convince you, then the fact that 20 people are watching it might be.
This looks very nice, though. Still,a little more variety in lighting would make it look nicer.

WoW reno - you should have some of that stuff modeled, cause the shere amount of detail already is going to bring HL2 to its knees (which is a good thing!)

This theme could turn out nice, the lighting is good and architecture too. What sort of characteristic area's are you planning to create in this style?

Very nice arches, good selection of textures, warm lighting.

Don't forget to assign a smoothing group to those things, if you haven't done so, already! :)

Looks very nice. I'm not sure if the pipes are really necessary. They look a bit out of place in an ancient setting like this.

It's a button in the lower corner of the texturing window.
