There aren't any (working) default ones that look like skies--only black, white, etc. And I'm SURE there are non-model materials in there. What folders are in the archive?

Here's a couple of early screens of an upcoming Positive Discouragement map. It's the first part of two connected chambers.

Obviously I've got a bunch more stuff to do, but I'm liking it so far.

I just was messing in a WIP map; put a projected texture in, fun effect with funnel:

@srs looking good! Not a big fan of the floor in the first room though.
You might be able to spice it up a bit more with some overlays :smile:

Another brainteaser map created with the PTI Editor and some modded instances.
Trying to make the best out of the PTI design.

I've just finished whiteboxing my latest level in my eile singleplayer series and I'm just about to move onto art implementation (Not decided what style to use yet).

I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the gameplay/difficulty before i start making it look pretty!
I'm aware it looks incredibly ugly right now, and there is no clipping or indicator lights.

You can grab the map on my profile downloads (a3_eile_hanoi), but here are a few un-flattering screenshots that may pique your interest.

@portalcombat
All I see is pti. pti is not looking good ever =( it's so dull and uninspiring!
Also the default song almost makes me want to tear my hair out.

@jodan1m
this thread is not to promote your map, this is a thread to get comments on the visual design.
What I see right now is a very pti looking ugly box. I don't see any light models; I see laser fields without models I see bad lighting. Right now I don't like the looks of it.

An introductory map I made for Fourth Reaper's Compressed Smoke Field.

Any suggestions on how to make it look better?

There seems to be a bit too much light. Remove the light strips behind the field, the observation room is very bright and the fields glow by themselves. If the room is darker they will draw more attention.

Is this the playerclip field? I don't remember which color is which.
