#1 Looks fantastic.

#2 Looking very good! Keep up the great work.

#3 awesome, a high quality TGEA erector set of sorts. brilliant.

#4 Great work, you are realy good at what you do.

#5 Very sweet

#6 Doesn't look very good, I think.
First of all, your whole color scheme is way too mono-colored.
It's all grey and looks very boring, very plain.
Further more, your textures don't look very good, very grainy, and I can't really recognise a material of some sort.(I guess it should represent concrete or something?)
Also, I don't really recognize sci-fi elements in it.
And it looks very empty, definitely needs things to fill it in.

Something very important that I miss too is, is personality.
Your map has no personality off some sort, it has nothing catchy, or a specific style or something.

But to start with, I would recommend you improve your textures a lot, make them more.. interesting. ;)

#7 Well, I think they're great :)
Reminds me a lot of all the sci-fi Bioware games. Some metal and glowy lights and you'd have that look down pat.

#8 I guess I'll take your criticism with a grain of salt Florian lol. These won't be the final versions of the buildings or their textures but they are good clean placeholders.

@ everyone else - thanks for the encouragement

#9 Florian,

Anyone can be a critic, be it takes talent to be a constructive critic. You have a good ability in voicing your opinions, but expressing them in a constructive fashion is what you're lacking.

Zach,

Honestly, I really like these interiors. They give me an impression of a good, clean, futuristic airport (or spaceport). The light placement/light effects are good too!

#10 Actually i think florians comments are contructive.

Firstly he stated what he felt and why he felt it.

Some people would just say "Ur TextuRz Sux! Fix Themz!"

But personally, i feel the geometry of the levels is very clean and believable. The textures, as florian stated, are vague. I see somewhat of a patterning, but no idea if it's concrete or steel. But i understand they're not the "final product" so it's no big deal.

It's a great start!

#11 I hear what Florian is saying, but... There's more than one kind of science fiction. These look a bit Star-Trekky in feel. That sort of clean-walls-as-if-they'd-just-been-scrubbed look that every Star Trek Next Gen set seemed to have? Yeah. It's not the gritty, grimy sort of feel we see in other SF work, perhaps, but I think there's a distinct style to it that's totally valid.

#12 Glad you like the suggestion :)

Great those are real good, and as far as textures. its too many styles to pick just one so I wouldnt look for a single pack to cover every sc-fi theme. but instead purchase a dedicated sci-fi texture pack. like the one DEXSOFT sells and use those to retexture the difs. I prefer to customize my own looks.

Plus dont be swayed try to specialize it too much..:) Basic textures and basic structures any fancier you either pay for it or just contract it out.

As far filler I prefer empty rooms. So I can add DTS consoles and breakable computers and Power cores, generators,sci-fi crates those are filler. I looked in plenty of RIFTS books like the anvil galaxy the Mindwerks and the Gene splicers and got great reference pics for DTS buildable labs items. These are things a end-user should be able to produce or add later themselves.

Looking forward to seeing more..:)

#13 Hey Zach,
Yes, I know this is a Work in Progress, I was just explaining my opinion on your work, and my opinion(advice) on where you should work on. ;)
But I'm looking forward to seeing the final versions!

@Kevin James
I think you just proved your point :P. You criticised my criticism, but you didn't do it in a constructive manner, So now I do not know in what way to improve my criticism, and I'm always open for improvement ;).
(I hope my criticism on your criticism was constructive, but enough with the wordplay xD)

#14 @Florian - I hope I didn't come off as just completely disregarding your opinion, I only meant that certain criticism's about my work were things that I planned on changing. Actually I think your advice on personality is spot on and I'm taking these maps in a new direction now. Thanks for the advice and I'll post again when I'm a little further along.
