Mike gives me wood-ham. Tronyn, too. Cool that you finally seem to have made proper use of the sorrow scrap. Now I can delete it from my editor folder.

Omg

So many good maps coming out soon, and so little time to play them. :(

That looks awesome, simple, yet very cool, it really makes you think that you are there. Can't wait to play that map...

mike: looks like a cooler moria. :D i love that the upper area is shrouded in darkness. makes everything look even bigger.
tronyn: the scale is insane, especially on those industrial shots. ;) i was staring at the first industrial shot trying to place it, and then i noticed these tiny little ogres in the corner.
looks like you will be giving arwop a run for it's money. :P
also, i can recognize some stuff in those somethingwicked shots. ^_^ glad you could make use of it!

Mike.

Trouser fail, I now need a 3rd pair after seeing Tronyn's shots.
Great stuff there.

Mike, that looks great.

The style in that Dry Sorrow(?) map is ace.

Nice Shots!

Mike & Tronyn! It's nice to see those scraps lit and so well put together. Can't wait!

Have you tried
PanQuake?
Would be nice if someone made a nice modern shader based version of fisheyequake and panquake...

Playing With Coloured Lighting
Shots 49, 52 = tastefully done.
Shot 51 = foul.
Shot 50 = unsure, but it might work well in game.

slight use: very nice! might be even more subtle I think.
dramatic: looks like Shambler's rearside
Make sure not to create annoying grunt sniping gameplay, See
http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/sickbase.html as a anti-example (sorry Ricky :) ).

Question On Strong Colour
With strong lights, is it generally the saturation, the position (which wasn't thought out, I'm experimenting so was just matching them to the texture of the light source :p ) or the clash of colours (eg would switching spot lights to white improve it etc)
or is just the whole theme of the lighting shit?
ta for feedback :)

51 just looks like 49 with the white light removed :P
too dark and saturated. the other three are all nice though.. the colour complements the normal light rather than smothering it

Correct Comments.

google up a colourwheel for painting houses and use that to figure out what colours to use.
full red/full blue lighting next to each other = ugly as fuck.

Had Another Go:
Okay, a go at making that big room darker but less urgh...
Dropped saturation, increased ambient again, but moved the lights lower:

Too dark? Blue too strong? :E
Another corridor with some little highlights from the monitors

it's really not necessary to colour-code every single light and monitor. for main lighting, i'd stay closer to white, as well. for example, in 53, i'd make the red lights be pure red and very small radius. highlights, mainly. the blue strip lights i'd make as the main light emitters but make them nearly white, a very pale cyan.
there are more colours than just rgb.
