This is my first map, it will be a multilevel office building, I'm not even close to done, but wanted to get some response to my progress.

Only issues I have is the doors, having difficulties getting the proportions right. Oh and there will be a ceiling in the final lobby hehe. Comments and criticisms are welcome

1. you might lower the number of lamps you have placed outside on the walls

2. The outside texture of the building is too dark & dull, you might try lighter textures.

3. The indoor enviroment looks cool enough.

But as you said it is nowhere yet completed so the final thing might come out really cool.

Anyways keep up the good work.

[Enronias]

The one issue I had with the outer texture was that when I used a lighter one the lamps almost always looked really really bright. But I'll fiddle around with it and see if there's an in between one.

[Cr4ig]

looks not to bad - like sume1 said, too many lamps and some of the brushes dont look like they meet with each other

[Jasard]

Looking good inside, i think perhaps the outside could do with 1 or 2 less props i.e boxes but its looking promising, keep us updated

Must u? - I fot u were gonna stop being an ass

Update.....

Done some retexturing and added a lot of stuff, right now mainly working on the second and third floor...

Still a very much work in progress. Still have to add office rooms on second and third floor as well as terrorist start areas and the roof, plus work on fixing lights, and a few texture errors (any help with this would be great). Another big issue is with the spot lights that just won't show up no matter what I do. Comments and criticisms welcome.

there is something wrong about it, but i just cant put my finger on it... i would say that the brush work isnt too good, but apart from that its looking pretty fly

[Spartan]

Looks better but get a new name for the map. Also get rid of those glass stairs and that area with the 50 crates and barrels.

[Enronias]

wiggle987:

Yeah I really do have to go through and straighten everything out, the front ent has been giving me hell recently


Spartan 34:
would you recommend that I do a different texture or get rid of them entirely? I'll make some space in the garage area with the barrels and boxes and try it out.

Thanks for the crit's

[Spartan]

Well using a tile that looks like my kitchen floor as a sidewalk isn't the best thing to do.

[Enronias]

It's a texture error it doesn't look like that in hammer for some reason
I'll fiddle around and see what's up
