Use a spotlight instead of light. Then rely on relfections from the floor and walls to light the ceiling. Lights often create really ugly patches of intense light.

And light up the bulb with a env_sprite?

[Miigga]

I would recommend having a combination of a light_spot pointing down and then also a light entity with a weak brightness. Creates somewhat of a blob of light on the ceiling but not too bright.

For instance, this creates a pretty good result:



light_spot settings:

Brightness: 255 251 193 380
inner angle: 22
outer angle: 70

light settings:

Brightness: 255 251 193 16
50% falloff distance: 250
0% falloff distance: 500
(falloff distances probably not really necessary)

env_sprite settings:

render mode: world space glow
fx amount: 180
fx color: 255 251 193
scale: 0.6
size of glow proxy geometry: 4 (can be changed depending on what model you're using for the lamp)

Also here's some slight progress

The ambient lighting doesn't fit the sky's color but the brushwork and general ambience's look very good.

I'll think that he uses this:

I am using sky_03_06 or something

It does have orange spots and such, it's just not visible from that angle. I might change the skybox, though.

Oh hey, its that one map from Halo 3

worth finishing: yes
improvements:
second image windows need brush based frames and the grate should propably be aligned with the rest of the curve

[Firegod522]

So I finally picked back up on my project, and went ahead and make a door model for the door.

Oh man, I remember playing on this map SO MUCH. Awesome to see this remake.

Maybe try using different types of lighting sources rather than glowsticks? I don't know, maybe a hole in the roof or something?

I decided to try and remake Canal Street in New York with the use of the other building I posted earlier. Here's another one I made for it.

What skybox is that?

What method of volumetric lighting are you using?

That is a very clean fire, just saying
There needs to be light debris on the ground and all the walls that were effected by the fire to be charred black

sky_l4d_c1_1_hdr

It's used in Dead Center.

I'm not really making anything, just screwing around attempting to make a nice looking gas station. I haven't used Hammer in ages.

Is there a way to export this skybox from Left 4 Dead? I've never done this before.

[Appolox]

Working on something, it's a start, but where will it lead me, I need some ornamental wall support pillars.

I suggest you add so leaves on the side walk because right now it looks very odd that a tree is only falling leaves on the dirt ground. Other than that keep it up.

A model

one of the default ones that come with the game

models/effects/vol_light02.mdl to be specific.

WHERE are you getting those models and textures? Ripping from the game? Sure seems like it. Looks amazing, nice to see another Mirror's Edge mapper. I really hope you complete this map, and I will surely download it the second you release it. (P.S. Can I PLEASE have those tree models?)

They're all from L4D1 and 2.

Also, how does this look so far?

The fire escapes look sorta big, should tone them down a little.
