BLING BLING, maybe 4 pics is a but much but hey you need broadband in your life.
Been busy doing various contracts and finally got the chance to work with TGEA. I have been wanting to have a crack at TGEA for a while now and building this sewer system was a good introduction, water, lights, shader tricks etc... I think it is important to be subtle with shaders and bling bling FX, I see some newer games that go too far with shiny shaders and everything can look plastic.
I really enjoyed playing with the eye candy extras TGEA offers and hope a few more TGEA contracts come my way so I can tinker with it some more, any work really, TGE, TGEA, whatever drop me a mail.

Beautiful interiors here. Nice work! I especially like the texture you got on the cement walls in the tunnels there. We're always looking for more volunteers BTW, if you're bored and haven't got anything better to do. ;)

Any chance of sharing your texture technique. Do you take your own photo textures?

The lighting is all done in-game, start with a sg_default, then make it your own, test and retest in one small area of the mission then copy paste all over.
The textures are photo based, mixed with some texture packs I got over the years. I use photoshop and usually layer up various textures to create new textures, I rarely start from scratch but sometimes it is required. Normal maps are generated with the nvidi photoshop plugin.

I think Daniels right, I would expect to see some staining in parts of the concrete. It looks great, but too uniform. I think thats the only bit thats missing.
