Art test I threw together in a few minutes. I'll get something more complex looking later, for now this is just a proof-of-concept.

EDIT: Kinda a lackluster post to be #1000. Here's a bonus image:

Nope. But I do love my PS1. Only console with a toilet lid.

You should try it, it's one of the best puzzle games I've ever played (I completed it myself alone without any hint... 170 levels!! I ended up completely nuts!)

Is that chamber 9? You're probably exited for 9 lives, Caretcaret's next project.

I'm taking a short break from the destroyed maps map-pack, and so I made this quick co-op map in the "sort-of-clean-but-bits-are-missing" style. 'Mass and Velocity Course' theme I guess.

One side of the main room:

The other side:

And the secondary room, my personal favorite:

My feeling is that they don't feel...finished enough? Mainly the area in the the first screenshot, the others are alright.

I think the observation rooms are missing even though your map is lightened up already.
EDIT: sorry, for my mistake. I'm not sure why it's a bit boring looking.

Hey! Thought I'd drop in a tease for a new texture pack I'm building. The only gripe I have right now is dealing with a new version of Photoshop that doesn't want to work with the NVidia plug-in, thus making this texture a bit too bumpy at the moment.

Looking great! :thumbup: Though pic no.3 maybe looks a bit PTIish, even thought it wouldn't be created in the editor :biggrin: (thing I believe so much :wink:)

Cheer up! I'll be looking for the release to play it!

Yeah, if there's one thing I hate doing it's making Hammer maps look PTIish. That's why I like destroyed style maps :lol:

Some of the standard chambers look even more worse than PTI. Your map may be really basic, but there is no problem with that. (From my point of view, it looks much better than a PTI map).

Progress:

Add some 'dye' to the 'fabric' for some style points...

Hmm, those are some neat looking textures! I can't imagine where they'd be useful in Portal 2, though, but evidently you've found a place for them :lol:

These are what I'll be calling 'Portal Fabric Tiles.' They're smaller than the regular tiles and will give the portalable walls more art style than the conventional moon rock slabs.

Also, this fabric is approved by the State of California, so you won't be dying of cancer like J.J. Jameson... I mean, like Cave Johnson did.
