Guggenheim's mapping corner

[Guggenheim]

Recently I got really drunk and started making this:

At first I decided to make a small simple DM map similar to Q3DM1. But now I think that choose of textures was not really successful. Probably I should return to style of my unfinished CTF map.

[grieve[Q2C]]

looks okay so far. maybe you let it rest a while, until you got more ideas how to continue.

same style as the CTF - map ? also possible. you should experiment with themes and styles, the more the better !

A staircase in combined "jail" and "warehouse" style. Which one looks better? That will be probably a part of small 1v1 DM map.

[grieve[Q2C]]

I prefer the blue one ....

[mikem]

I think so too.

I'd say #3 looks best. #1 looks like the sloped side areas should be for small cargo lits.

The light textures in #2 make the stair risers too bright. Remember, the whole face emits the light, not just the light-looking parts of the texture.

A little showcase.

Spiral staircase was the hardest part. Is there appropriate plugins for Radiant?

[mikem]

It looks great. Keep up the good work.

I plan to make a window on my map. Should it be detail? The glass and the frame?

[knightmare]

If the frame is flush, there's no need. Transparent brushes are already ignored by VIS.

What it is "flush"? English is not my native language.

[knightmare]

If it doesn't stick out, leave it as structural brushes.

Slightly updated the staircase and that room. What do you think, does that bars look good or remove them? Also I have to choose the design of that square unit in wall (last 2 pics). Which trim texture to choose?

[Guggenheim]

Probably, I overused that illumination texture (it's called wslt or so). Just wanted to stick to "Ammo Depot" style.
