I hope you mean rolling my eyes at the original, because I don't think there's a way to remap that any better really. You'd have to distort the front of the rune a lot or disconnect it, and there's no guarantee that either would produce something that looks acceptable. Thumbs up!
@Preach, I certainly mean't the original runes, their skins are crazy large, but game production is rarely about efficiency and usually about just getting stuff done to tight deadlines.
More Runes I think the second rune has turned out good, it has a more interesting shape and the edge highlight painting across the top looks better. On to the next couple of runes and maybe some new one's. I concur, no one is ever going notice the texture is less stretched on the inside of a rune. Go map!

what was originally going to be a 'room' for Vigil's ill-fated Rubicon chainmap is becoming a map for me. Vigil took the screenshots because apparently everyone hates my monitor's brightness, and also decided the name of the album. I like the well defined forms and lines, and choose of colors.
The first shot reminds me of a mine, the other two of some sort of refinery. yeah I will likely change the water... as you can see it is just some square blocks and the pipe isn't even hollowed out and detailed... infact if the camera was turned 180, there would only be void to see, because the caves and such were made because I was far too lazy to finish that area so instead decided to make some caves
I've been faffing around with this map for about four years. I'm like a 5 year old kid pushing food around his plate in the hopes that it might just disappear, 'cause I ain't eating it. I'm just tinkering with it, never improving it. I work for a couple of hours and then don't touch it for weeks or months. Everytime I see it, I think something should be changed, added, removed. Bored now.
Some of the shots were released as FMB-BDG, a map from 4/5 years ago, and the others are from the other unreleased half of that map. It's come to the point where I am either going to release it 'as is' or dump it. Of course, I don't really want to dump it because although it is not finished, I have put a lot of work into it and vanity says I would like someone to see it. Hence the screen shots. http://s12.postimage.org/q2l55sakd/fitz0000.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/pecamubul/fitz0001.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/qhweyswhp/fitz0002.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/5ma4nk0al/fitz0003.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/nqd586xz1/fitz0004.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/6r8s6oc59/fitz0005.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/vlsa0qwzh/fitz0006.jpg http://s4.postimage.org/87uzvd0nx/fitz0007.jpg http://s4.postimage.org/ezley7pnh/fitz0008.jpg http://s4.postimage.org/vbvgny3z1/fitz0009.jpg http://s4.postimage.org/l32zi4fx9/fitz0010.jpg not sure how releaseable you consider it as is, but if its not quite there yet, maybe work the bare minimum required to get it into a state you consider releaseable (rather than a state you are happy with)?
@mike, It sounds like you are drifting and not sure what to do next. Get some people to test your map and give you some honest feedback on what to fix. Then mash together the feedback into a master list and it will be easier to see what to finish before you release. By the way, I have screenshots of this map in my quake inspiration folder, it has a gorgeous cave vibe going on.
looks good, I really like the corridor shapes you've made. the floor details in shot 1 would be a good candidate for a new texture. shot 3, I would continue the wall shape on the ceiling somehow. I think some ceiling details there and areas like it would be nice.
