Hi everyone!
I have started modeling around a little bit, and i have made a little map. It should look a little bit like the City 17 in HL2 and its not finished.
The stairs are ugly i know. And both rooms are empty too. I have also tryed an skybox, but it runs very slow. Are my Images too big? (1024x768)
Well, i want to hear some feedback. 
wfg, Sindwiller
EDIT: Images are from the DeleD Preview Plugin, no Physics, 8x FSAA, 1280x1024.

I don't see anything wrong with your stairs. Everything looks good.

| One suggestion, make your banister on your stairs a little higher. It looks like it would come about up to a person's knee and that's a little low for a banister. Other than that, nice work! |

Well, like i said, the model file of that house i made is broken. I send it to Jereon, i hope he will fix it. Its not much work (7-8 hours) but its the first thing i made good. 
I started to model the rest of the city, started with the street of that house.
Feedback plz.

Awesome screenshots. I'll leave the detailed comments to the people who actually know what they are talking about (i.e. modelers  ), but I think they look great.

Does it run slow inside DeleD, or inside the Level Previewer? I don't know exactly what techniques Il Buzzo uses to display the skybox in the Level Previewer, but you might want to stick to power-of-2 textures for skyboxes (some goes for everything else, really ). Usually 512x512 is nice and crisp, no real need to go much further.

Sure, any global illumination method will probably result in better looking lighting, especially in indoor scenes. However, our first priority is getting the glitches in the current lightmapper smoothed out. Also, getting good results from any lightmapper takes a lot of practice, and a lot of time (as a rough estimate, lighting a scene might take about as much time as the modeling and texturing phase.... most people allow themselves much less).
If you want to see what radiosity based lightmapping can do for you, trying putting your scenes through Gile[s]. Eventually, that is the quality level we want to equal with the DeleD lightmapper.  |

Im just rendering the lightmaps for the new model.
It should take long (4096x4096 lightmaps, individual 32x32 - 512x512, 3 blur passes).

pps. The Screenshottool is COOL!! |

Yeah, it is cool.
I love the 'rubble' by the door, and the shifted tiles
