Environment Experiments:

I decided that I wanted a little break from TF2 mapping last night so I spent a couple of hours whipping up a small environment to experiment with some natural lighting (the sun and reflections) in the source engine. Below you can see the results of my short labour. I think I might try to do one of these small environments every so often just to practice aspects that I wouldn’t encounter in (for example) a TF2 map.

(There are no windows in this room, all lighting is coming from the stairs and the two ajoining rooms)

pl_kansas (a TeamFortress 2 map): (Tweaks and redesigns)

I left the map with some friends last week, just to see how well they handled it. Now I’m doing some tweaks and redesigns based on their opinions (particularly optimisation and speed). Some of the latest screenshots are below.
