from the first screen
your geomtry is too simple and cubic, you have these typical things, wich is very normal, like a big wall and in the middle you place a thing, in this case a airvent, cause you thought, well the wall is empty soo place something there, thats good, but there has too be unity, conectivity in the geomtry, the airvent has actually nothing to do with the surounding stuff, it needs interaction wich the rest, so make a leet pilalr support thing for instanc,e that supports walls, roofs, runs all over the place, and then put some airvent between, conect it, let their come wires out of it, and so on, that is much leeter, this looks too much like cut and paste, you know, lots of little pieces by eachother
ceiling is empty too, in second shot too

in the 3th shot you have a good thing, these pillars that hold the bridge/catwalk, you see, it supports hte lfoor, is a pillar, and goes too thew ceiling all at once, creates interactivity, you want that more, and the broken grate, or dunno what it calls in english is nice, and the light is too white imo, white is boring

but you are getting better indeed :)
 
thanx chrys

thanx hour... i indeed see what you are saying about the plain walls and plain ceiling... i'll work on that today, when you say wires come from out if it do you speak of decoration wire or textures wires that run along with the big pillar? methinks your talking about texture wires cuz ive tried using the decoration wire before and it looks kinda ghey IMO. (put a yellow flicker light by it and make it dance... gimmicky, but not 1337 i dont figure)

THANX for the tips!!!!

I would disagree, somewhat. Many of the other decoration meshes
are cool. One just has to be careful how they use them
while at the same time not overusing them. The whipping wire
deco can look very bad if used poorly.
(like some of my early maps :lol: )
But I have seen it used where it looks pretty cool.

Observation and experimentation and more observation ... ...
that is the key. :)
