Its Elektro, or loosely based off of it (i use loosely because my scale sucks)

[t]http://i.imgur.com/tsiVHib.jpg[/t] First time with no editing too[/QUOTE] The more lights you add, the better it looks. Just give them more colour - warm for comfort, cold for discomfort. Or mix and match between the two to create contrast in mood and make the emotive set more complex.

The current light setup makes no sense with that style of light.

[QUOTE=Framperton;42168612]A bland, grey hallway?[/QUOTE] sure, but I like how the lights came out.

[QUOTE=samuel2213;42172996]Use downward facing light_spot for those ceiling lights rather than just a light. The current light setup makes no sense with that style of light.[/QUOTE] That's what I suggested but he likes the normal light entities better

you can still use a regular light with a low brightness value to smooth out the cone cast by the light_spot. it'll look much better, trust me.

[QUOTE=l33tkill;42137091]Tried to make a kitchen for the horror map. It feels empty. What should I add? [t]http://i.imgur.com/8Nk4mph.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] I like it! I'd recommend that unless the ovens have a special purpose and you want to draw attention to them, center the light in the room more. That way the walls aren't as defined, making the room look more spacious in a scary way.

That way the walls aren't as defined, making the room look more spacious in a scary way.[/QUOTE] Hmm maybe the spacious effect could be achieved by flipping the light around to the other side closer to the serving line. Then instead of having a full glow I could dim the light+sprite and add a flickering effect to make it seem the light is about to go out. It would leave the stoves hardly lit. But maybe I can add an event where the all the stoves turn on at once for no apparent reason, while that said light bulb burns out. I could definitely try centering it to see what it would look like. I'll experiment around with it. Thank you!

How do you guys achieve the scripted event effect of having the room change behind the player? Is it a system of teleports with identical rooms (in the one direction the player is facing) activated by trigger_looks? Or is it physically altering the map due to the trigger_looks? Like are you somehow spawning walls behind them that weren't there earlier?

Play around with all kinds of entities, because it doesn't matter how it happens, if the player doesn't see it. They only see the before and after, and their imagination takes the rest.

[t]http://puu.sh/4s3Ef.jpg[/t] Making this for my WWII class. Window border is because I'm too lazy to not use puush :L EDIT: fully textured!

i think it needs a [i]lot[/i] more detail before it can look up to snuff; trims, extrusions, and all that jazz. looks good so far though!

We posted a video of our WIP HL1 svencoop map on the sc forums but I guess I can post here too. It's a survival map twice the size of source's max.

it's certainly big

Got some cool custom life preserver models that give you the illusion of them being recessed into the yacht's wall. I'm trying to get them to blend in to the wall better though, the brush wall and model wall use the same texture however they don't blend in properly in certain lighting conditions. Shining a bright light at them seems to help a bit, but hasn't solved the problem entirely.

Props can't use lightmaps like brushes do; Source cannot make this model blend seamlessly. If you want that smooth inset for the life preserver, I'd recommend making the brush flush with the circle, and having a metal rim (or something) on the prop to hide the seam.

try baking the lighting into the texture, or do it manually via photoshop by brightening or darkening certain parts
