However, I seem to have trouble getting it looking right with a desert atmosphere. I will probably come back to the environment lighting later on, once I complete more of the main map.

[QUOTE=Garrison;41916418]Where'd you get that club light overlay? I've love that. (The spotted light)[/QUOTE] I made it man, a black and white 512x512 texture with irregularly placed dots of the same size.

Aperture's topside facilities seem to be secluded in the mountains (which also makes sense considering that the entire facility is built on a series of old salt mineshafts). This is actually a really interesting theme, I might actually try doing similar.

Portal 1. Portal 2 was the one with the video. However, the skybox at the end of 1 is just a texture mapped onto a curved brush, so still not too much to go off of.

Bombsite of my new map. Happy with how it's turning out. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/902131534712565622/5663721289D4065A47BC8692E34C974A36EF23D1/[/t]

I've been working on this map for too long. Still looks bare in some places, lighting needs some tweaking. And I still have tons of rooms to add. Also decided to change the name of it to "GM_Requiem" rather than "GM_Scream_II" One of many generator rooms. Screenshot was taken after a power surge.

Looks good but the roof texture does not fit at all.

What is it going to be?

Dunno what you're trying to do, but to me, the Portal 2 assets seem really out of place. They just seem stretched and ugly looking to me, not to mention repetitive.

The brushwork is cool and all, but the textures REALLY make it look like a mess. A lot of it isn't aligned, and to me, the textures really don't fit again. You used a Portal 2 wall texture for part of that supports in the frame, and in general, not a lot of textures are aligned to the angle of the brush. Nice brushwork though, it's just the texturing that's ruining it (at least in my opinion).

Got some news about my mod for Portal 2 I am rebuilding the entire Facility trying to give more sense to everything. Look at the End of Portal 2. the Fusion core is about to explode. The facility is so damn huge, ( and we never knew where it is located) it could have exploded withing a radius of one mile and could have completely missed us. I am rethinking the entire Facility, redesigning most of the things myself. The Facility will not use Nuclear Fusion Energy. It will look more like Black Mesa. I mean Partially underground and Partially over the ground covering Miles. Since they made most of the Facility underground the Best source of Power I was thinking of was Geothermal Energy. I made some research and the best place Aperture Science Laboratories could be ( as close as possible from the game information) is in the Salt mine Under Detroit. The News paper article claims it to be in the Upper Michigan but there are no Salt mine there. and the land is not flat enough to keep a large wheat field. Also the Lower Michigan Geo temperature is cold enough to keep the Facility safe down to 4 Kilometres [t]http://smu.edu/geothermal/heatflow/4kmTempMap.gif[/t] The facility could easily use the Natural Temperature to create Geothermal Energy as their Main power and It is an Infinite Source of power. This way they can Power most of their technologies. The facility is not only built in the Mine. They dug down many Shaft and areas to create a Subway Line and different transportation system. ( Old aperture 1940-1960 ) After that, they started using Portal technology as main transportation system. Meaning they abandon most of the Old Aperture Shaft and areas for easier transportation and space. Aperture Science Laboratories was a big company I doubt they didn't build a few other Facilities around the Usa. It would explain why we can see the Borealis's plans from Cleveland. Since they require materials to build the facility and it extension The facility Require one or many Expedition bay where they receive or ship materials. It mean they require Heavy machinery to build a big facility like this. This is why I build Many Overground section that are mostly Offices and loading bays. Such as this Concept here.

Then the Automated Crane take them and sort them in the Holes in the ground. They lead to a larger area where the containers get lifted to the Main storage area using Conveyor Belt or Manned Machinery. Now people may thing " well those container take way too much places to store, what will they do with them when they are done? " Simple. They recycle everything! I am working the Recycling center where the containers are lifted on a conveyor belt then disassembled using robotic mounted saw on a rail. the parts will fall bellow the conveyor belt where they can get stored once again taking at least 15time less place. many of them will be melted down ( using Geothermal energy funaces ) and recycled to any Metal materials they require. They can also just cut down some parts and build the Testing subject's Resting Rooms. Hope you like it.

Wow you have a lot of thought put into this. I'd still say that they look out of place on that airplane frame though.
