Well, it's been a while. I've been working on things, such as this:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =239723427

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =239723384

This is a puzzle I've been (slowly) creating for quite some time. This chamber utilizes Surface Division fields and a cube sensor. It may be lacking a bit of detail in places. Feel free to tell me what you think, and what could be improved.

1. dont use pti frame models. they look thin and unattractive.
2. divide glass into different parts. the maximum size glass should ever be is 128x128 with a thickness being either 2, 4, or 8, depending on the thickness of your frame model. (most frame models have a easily distinguishable part in the center of the thickness where the glass should go, such as the darker grey part of sqarebeam models).

for example:

these rules also apply for grating.

other than that though, this looks fairly good. just needs more details, less pti-esque lighting, etc. if this was exported from pti, though, you should completely redo it- because pti's structure is just terrible. 128 cubes everywhere is the worst thing a mapper could do.

He's actually using brushes for those frames, but you're right about them being thin and unattractive.

I think it needs some global ents fog. It looks a bit...dark, I guess?
Also, those wallpipes in the first image - where are they going?

Funny, I think the pti frames look right and the non-pti frames look fat and unattractive.

Probably because you have 10 posts on here.

No. Just.. No.

Actually, this was never a PTI map. And lighting is something I'm not good at, but I'll try and improve it.

That was totally uncalled for. Post count is no reason to demean someone. If you're going to make fun of someone, try and find a decent reason - for example, using the font Papyrus.

So because I don't post every day that means I'm not allowed to have an opinion about glass frames?

I think the wide frames look fine for old Aperture or more industrial maps. For modern levels I prefer the thin frames. It's like a big old 1980s beige-box PC vs. a MacBook Air. Your mileage may vary of course.

I mean seriously how could something 8 units thick be considered fat and unattractive?

When it's adopted.

And? What exactly is wrong with being adopted?

(For the record, you are adopted, and that's horrible.)
