[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;39881871]I don't really understand, but I rated disagree to prefer the first one over the second one. That's what I think you meant.
Purple just looks weird, even if it does catch the eye. You have to think about why there'd be purple when it's orange and brown outside.[/QUOTE]
Agree was for the first image and disagree was for the second, personally I prefer the first one myself but I just needed some reassurance that I was going in the right direction.
[QUOTE=lionheart1066;39880969]Another WIP vsh map i've been working on, trying something different but I can't make my mind up on the lighting, wondering if people can help me out by rating it.

Disagree for second image lighting[/QUOTE]
Lose that texture tiling.
Also where is the sun? with those long shadows you would expect the sun to be lower(or visible)
Use the first lighting setting but darken the ambient lighting and slightly desaturate the direct lighting.

Progress~
Also, I'm trying to figure out what buildings I should put on the giant orange blocks on the East Side of the map. Anyone got any ideas?

Toilets and a power/transformer building.
Rotate your trees, them having the same angle is painfully obvious. Also vary the models you use and vary the ground texture abit. Grass wouldn't grow directly beneath a conifer when theyre together like that.
Is that green structure based off the tiberium sun construction yards?

please don't hit me
That's awesome.
The doors look a little out of place, though. Use something more robust and dirty.
4th shot: Put the light entities further from the prop so you don't have that ball of light effect on the wall
usually for proper lighting you'll go with 1 light and 1 light_spot

Incredible. Are you using any custom content?
[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;39896363]Incredible. Are you using any custom content?[/QUOTE]
I made a few modifications to the default textures, and the orange pipe models are custom
that's about it atm, but their will be more custom stuff added over time.

I really like what you have in the second picture
What's bland about the room is the light and lack of atmosphere.
Fire casts no smoke;
Light is completely even with no variation
Small details like embers coming off the fire, or a faint cloud of smoke above the torches
As for the lights, you'll need to use more than one type and throw in a faint sprite, make it large
A standard light set to low (under 50) coupled with a very wide very soft spotlight that's brighter than 50 will give the light a sense of direction, rather than every direction
if you play with the fade settings, ie; 50% fade distance, 0% fade distance, and keep the values within the room itself, you could create some very strong contrasts between what's lit and what's not; rather than having light that looks the same everywhere
Throw in a few hours of repetition and hard work, and what you have here will look finals-worthy.
I'll work on a new post that uses pictures to better explain if anyone's interested

I finally picked it up again and did some solid work today
Keep in mind that it's still pretty darn WIP and all noticeable errors will be removed
Well, here's what I did today

Note that the pile of rubble there acts as a ramp, it's all player-clipped so it's as seamless as an actual ramp

I like the way they turned out

Combining everything I learned in those with help from Mr Anonymous (thanks for the VMF)
I remember some of you FPers telling me to move on from interior to exteriors to larger scale stuff
And here we are, I managed to create some beautiful contrast on a large scale

Do you guys ever start on a map and find there's no good textures for something and then focus your attention on making said texture, and end up losing interest in the project entirely?
[QUOTE=~ZOMG;39904635]Do you guys ever start on a map and find there's no good textures for something and then focus your attention on making said texture, and end up losing interest in the project entirely?[/QUOTE]
I really can't work on a map unless I'm using the content real-time. Putting placeholders or making everything dev just drives me crazy.
I have to put my mind to it if I wanna block out an area using dev textures, and go back to it hours (days?) later just to apply placeholder textures. No idea how some people work that way. I always detail and optimize as I go along.
I work in sections, like I'll block-out an entire area, then cordon off sections of it and work on those separately
I will then work on the cordoned area until it's near finalised (optimization and all) and I'll move onto a different area to cordon off, or I'll work on a few different sections at the same time
