Fuuuuuu- sweetswifter, I got to my girlfriends and her Internet was being all derp pm when you're online so I can jump on msn.
Something i threw together a few nights ago, its just a section of underground mining tunnel:

Im thinking of bumpmapping these textures...
The cave walls don't look very natural against the floor and the wooden supports wouldn't "cut" into the cave wall either.
I've started working on the entrance thing. Just a fancy elevator platform and such, with winches and gears running as it travels down.

yes i know, hence "threw together". wasnt sure what mine design to go with, the older one as pictured or the modern squared one with resin beams (drilled rock filled with resin to strengthen it for natural support)

Nice one mate, when are you gonna be on MSN today?

I am right now, and will be for most of the day.

I'll get on there ASAP.
I have a driving lesson I need to head out to in about... little less then two hours, just so you know.

Alright mate, I'll try and get on as it's tricky, I have to stop the boss from seeing the MSN window flash and shit, Facepunch is okay as I just say I'm reading up in the Hardware section :v:
ITT: make Black Mesa, win?
:P
brb copy pasting hl1 maps :v:

The blackmesa team has been working for over 3 years on it now :P.
Ok, well I'm just gonna snapshot some photos of the underground section of a ZS map i'm working on. What I lack in fancy design and cool brushwork I make up for in badassery of concept. Plus the entrances. Super awesome.

I dare you to read the Dargon megathread then.
Also, don't risk it man, I can wait a bit. Just don't go and play Call of Derpy all night again. :buddy:
Haha, I won't play it tonight just for you :buddy:

I would like to team with you Eyefunk! I hope I'm good enough for you, though :frown:

Silly addict. I'll be online into the late hours, and mapping probably most of the evening.

how do the fire smaller?
Your brushwork is still really bad mate.
gee thanks
The textures don't match, you have a gritty wall texture up against a smooth sand taxture on the floor, they clash so much that they literally highlight the lack of detail work in the corridors. You've put no thought into how they would be supported, and other things like the passage of time taking its toll, worn away stones, broken walls and such add a lot...
You need more variety, break up the textures to make them less repeating, like so:

Notice I used pillars to break up the wall and ceiling textures, making the corridor feel more cramped and claustrophobic, it'd also work in your situation.
The torches need some work, I suggest finding or creating a model, at the moment it looks incredibly poor, and you need to tweak the fire a little to match the amount of light in the corridors..
Gah , I've got a really neat elevator , nice shaft , nice bottom... but can't think at all what to do for the entrance to it

A door, perhaps?

That's obvious but .... Damn , I hate mapping sometimes

Holy fuck man, that looks so nice. At first I thought it was a screenshot of rivet city or something from fallout.. just with no phong :U
Blah, send me a friend request, I'll be on in like 3 hours.
in the second picture add a $blendmodulate

There's this facility about 10 minutes from home that has some interesting pictures that might be of use to you guys:

It's a clean room environment, which explains the coating of the rocks and the concrete. The facility is used to pick up neutrinos, very interesting stuff.
