personally I imagine a crypt to be dark, dusty, with cobwebs and a few skeletons lying about. This looks more like the hall of an old castle at night.

I really like this crypt, great atmosphere too. There's one little something that I've noticed though.

When I first looked at the pillars I thought they were floating. This has got to do with the floor textures, those stones are tiling under the pillars. In real life, the (floor) stones would stop right in front of the pillars and go around them so to speak. Such pillars go deeper in the ground than just at the floor level.

I'm not a perfectionist myself, but if you would want it to be really perfect ...

Cheers

blocks or models?

anyways, looks good. a bit too empty and clean, too light, but other than that, good work!

Actually I saw some of these 'errors' in the latest Tomb Raider game too. I guess they would have fixed it when they would have had some more time, because overall the texturing is correct.

You're right though, when you're playing a game you might not even notice this, so perhaps it's not that important to fix.

Cheers

I'm sorry if this has been said before... but the only thing i noticed is that the pilars and the gound texture don't "flow" into each other. the edge on the bottom of the pillar is so smooth and straight that it looks like it doesn't go with the floor. know what I mean? I'm a programmer and not a texturist, so I wouldn't know how to change that, but that's just what I noticed...
Other than that: GREAT WORK!!!
looks amazing

Hi all,

Will it be a level for a game ? are you trying to copy
the incoming FPS /Adventure Migh and Magic ?

No these is just a test level for testing out my skills. And yes I´m playing Dark Messiah and a lot of gothic 2 but I design these crypt without the mind to make a clone or something else.

And here are a new screen. I add some mor details and torches.

Nicely done!Good atmosphere and very realistic torches(maybe you should add some oily dirt near them?).
I think that some thin dark fog to imitate the dust will look good besides you may add flickering light coronas around the flames

The broken floor plate is fantastic!

Nice screens. I would like to see a version with really dark shadows. As it stands it works just fine, but I would think the dark areas would be more pronounced. It should be as easy as bringing down the global ambient value to something along the lines of 5-15 RGB.
