what resolution does want?

Around 512x512, Since it's wide I'll put black around the edges.

@cori, not yet, but the two power stations (richmond and delaware) are on my list. This building's right across from a subway exit, if you ever wanted to stop by

@arma, alright I'll upload it later today/tomorrow

[EDIT]
Got my black and white film scanned (also from the high-rise). Will bamp with it later

those 2 pics are epic, would make a great ref for a fantasy themed game

[Armageddon]

Aren't you supposed to take the pictures yourself?

[TicTac]

shh, arma. Also, finally scanned and edited the B+W from my trip to philly. They have been added on flickr, HERE.

Once again, I am too lazy to save, resize, and reupload them. My apologies.

Can i cum on you"

Damn you TicTac! I´ve been doing a map inspired in the Richmond Powerstation for years now! I even read books of electric powerplants to get into the depht of their construction and functioning. How does it feel being there? How it smells? What the noises and echo are like? I know that part of its charisma has been ripped out after the Twelve monkeys film, but still it´s such an amazing place.

It's not from Richmond, those shots are from her sister station a little further south. Richmond is supposedly in MUCH better shape than this station, and is much more... secure. I have yet to actually look for a way in to the Richmond station.
Anyway, the vastness of the building is overwhelming. Photographs do NOT do it justice, as I walked up to it (and soon after, inside of it), I was taken aback by the sheer scale of the building. The main room, if I had to hazard a guess, is over 50ft tall, with a lower-floor (actually at ground level) dropping down another 30 or so feet. The corridors and ruined rooms are like a labyrinth, and despite visiting the building twice, for about 4 hours each time, I still feel like I've only scratched the surface.
It's far from silent, with water constantly dripping, small birds flying about, and the sound of your footsteps ricocheting off of the walls. Occasionally, I'd swear I hear voices, somewhere far off in the bowels of the building.
As for the smell, I haven't the slightest idea. I kept a respirator on my face for most of the time

Oh, and what's the map for? I'd love to see it

[Gambini]

Thanks for sharing your feelings. I know there´s no way to catch the soul of such a place in a picture. Sometimes when i´m mapping I close my eyes and try to imagine i´m in there (I do that for all my maps actually) I imagine the stress sounds of the metal structures, the pipeline leaking and a big echo, I also believe there must be a noise of silence (if you know what i mean).

The map is part of my forever in development Hl2 Ep2 minimod. I´ve shown some screenshot about a year ago, i remember you gave me some help about how to run propper or something like that. But just in case you need to refresh your memory: (This screenshot is old, but it´s the most up to date one i have already uploaded)

[srredfire]

Gambini you should keep working on that, it looks great.

[source-maps]

yup, pretty nice brush work
