amateur feedback:
Not a fan of the orange, hahaha! obviously green is the way to go. Also - the metal4_4 style texture. I know its supposed to be a fairly clean, well maintained facility. but it seems to me, personally like it could use just a smidgeon more grit. salt grain I like the orange/yellow a lot more, especially if you can complement it with some blue ambient/sky light and some white hot spots.
Another light/texture pass on my industrial box
http://www.simonoc.com/images/design/maps_q3/indust7a.jpg http://www.simonoc.com/images/design/maps_q3/indust7b.jpg large sized images (1365x1024) @ 1Mb each about a week of work. not planning to make this overly lengthy of a production
http://imgur.com/a/uNeyN#0 looking nice so far! only little thing i'd point out is the lighting at the very top looks a little bright considering the dark sky. maybe some light fixtures could work up there
sock: maybe if that skylight was triangular instead of flat?
scampie: nice trims. :) lights look like they're capping out near the source though. you're using delay2? problem is if you use an engine with overbrights, it'll look kind of gross. rj: I'll likely change the sky texture actually
necros: yes delay2. does Fitz not do overbright lighting? that's a fiztquake shot? ignore what i said i guess, cause it looks fine. :)
it's only that there's no gradient until a little out from the light source which i thought was a non-overbright engine displaying overbright lights. oops @necros, do you mean a pyramid glass roof? triangulate the squares and push them upwards to form an inverted pyramid? Cool idea :)
@scampie, if it is a quickie, why not included it with a speed mapping pack? sock: that, or a triangular prism one.
http://www.livingdaylight.co.uk/rooflights-skylights.htm#Hip_and_Gable_Ended_Designs even just a more interesting pattern with the bars than just the axial crossing would be nice. everything else is so detailed and that skylight look so plain. i like that it casts hard shadows, btw. :) Looking hot. And when you lose interest in a couple of days, perhaps consider teaming up with cardo who will be at the same point by then, and join the maps for a full-size q1sp.
of my industrial scene

This concept was inspired by a Russian Aluminum Processing Plant (thanks Vondur) which had an awesome communist scale, where everything felt larger than life and over-sized elements were favoured over small and fragile mechanics. The bridge crane idea came from watching a documentary about CERN and how they transported parts of the large hadron collider down a mine shaft. I looked at various photo's of bridge cranes and eventually mashed all of them together in my head and produced this rough concept. If you are interested I do have some more screenshots (more angles of the room) and will post them on my website later today. I have no plans to release this map, it is just a concept, but I will release all the textures at some point. scampie: i like your attention to detail re: trims. i love that kind of thing.
sock: all i'm thinking is that wish i could get up in there and use all that machinery. ^_^ much better lighting. looks great now!
the ones earlier on looked way too dark - if you're going to build a realistic factory, at least light the fucker realistically cos no cunt can work in the dark, OSH won't be pleased about all the fingers going missing. thanks, sadly most every trim on large curved areas I have to use a flat texture rather than an edged one since I can't rotate textures to 63.5 degrees in Quake, so I can only fake it on the smaller curves where you won't notice the texture isn't actually rotated right.
Like I said, try to move one end of the trim brush by one or two units to make it fit at 63 or 64 degrees; or split the brush in the middle and use either angle on each side.
Also, sometimes it's necessary to change the texture scale in very small steps (like 1.00x or 1.000x) to make the rotated texture align with adjacent ones on grid brushes, e.g. trims with seams.
