Instead of posting picture, I decided to make "Level design from start to finish" video, take a look.

Also what do you think about this?

Not my choice of music. Aside from that, pretty good!
I may post a few pictures from my MapPack to show off.

Looks really nice, and a nice way to show it too

Here are some of my pictures from my MapPack:

There's a projector screen in Image 4, but no projector.

Rest of screens look really nice. Good choice of theme for the bts corridors

Actually, the projector is shown at the very top, it's just cut off a bit when the picture was taken. The room in Image 4 plays a important part for those that want to access the Sealed Testing Chamber. I'm also thinking of posting the least amount of portals I used in levels in the final release for people that like trying to use less portals.

Here's a map I'm working on in Portal 2. I've never released a map, so I've never really had any criticism on anything I've mapped. I don't expect this will be particularly interesting to anyone but hey, it'd be nice to get some feedback. I'm mainly concerned this may be too similar to other community maps, though I can't bring which ones to mind right now.

Please note this was last compiled with fast compile for testing purposes, so the lighting may have flaws.

EDIT: By the way, this is the starting room before puzzle chambers.

That's a gorgeous intro area, but I must say it doesn't look like any other custom maps that I'm familiar with. Keep up the excellent work! I wish to play this when it's done

You map is so cliche'd solomon. I can't believe it!

Sarcasm self test completed.

Looking friggin awesome.

@MasterLagger

I give you a hint, set your waters texture scale 4.00 and 7.25, then you got those strange squares away and it looks nicer .

@Pitk?korva with the Chamber 13 edit

It reminds me of my Chamber 13 edit. However, in my edit, I replaced the ball launcher with lasers. And my advanced chamber of 13 (Which has the overgrown look) is lighter because the light needs to come from the observation room, due to the ceiling being an important factor in the puzzle..

(Sorry for bringing it up, I was looking at a few pages back when I posted this.)

@ReepBlue.

Yeah, well my picture is meant for easter egg. So its not playable, thats why I didn't though about those things. Anyways, thanks for pointing out.

A little something that is part of the intro of our upcoming mod:

I am considering releasing this as an instance later

EDIT: instance available for download: http://forums.thinking.withportals.com/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=1451

Isn't that thing destroyed, and you should either use portal theme or portal 2 theme, not both together.

It seems to be pretty not destroyed don't you think?
The textures are all textures found in portal 2. But I tried to choose them in such a way that hey looked most similar to portal 1 stuff.

I could have chosen to take stuff from portal 1 and use those models. That would have made the room look better, but since I am considering releasing this as a vmf/instance I preferred not to require any special models and/or textures

Thanks for the tip! I reset the texture and the goo is no longer squared.

An image of one of the levels from the portal stories mod:

TheCakeIsASpy, Moth and I (Lpfreaky90) have worked on this one!

Pic 1
These are coloured cubes and spheres.
(Special Thanks to Skotty for helping me with the models.)
(Yes, I know there are two brown spheres, the other one is a placeholder for a companion sphere.

Pic 2
Turret View for my Remote Control Turret Map
I don't know why there's a red sprite in the middle. (must be the turret's laser)

Pic 3
The whole test chamber view.

Pic 4
This is the cube Colour conversion level.
I might use Skottys holeemitter model for the converter, but right now I'm using 2 pipes one flange and a energy ball emitter.
