I like how you manage to turn such basic shapes into really high quality architecture because of the texturing, lighting, and use of trim :tup:

Indeed, seriously. Look at these screenshots and then look at UT3. While it's clear UT3's art is to a higher quality standard, its design is so insane and unstructured I can't make any sense of half of it.

Detail is all about using what you've got appropriately, not just cramming unnecessary details in every place you possibly can.

I think UB said it best! Architecture doesn't need to be detailed it just needs to be right. I try to have more realistic arch. than overly detailed arch. Most of my brushwork is done with the 2d shape editor and vertex editing. Thanks guys for the comments so far!

This also keeps your node counts lower, which makes your maps stabler and allows you to make bigger, more complex maps. It's a good approach to take when you can. :tup:

Loving it so far. Mind if I ask which texture pack thats from? I recognize some but not all.

Although the corona on that one flame could be a softer variety imo, but that's really nitpicking.

It was used in 7B, but I don't remember where we got it from.

Yeah I thought they might be WOT, as I used them in an old DM map but wasn't sure. Looking good.

The architecture is really good. :tup:
The only thing that is really striking is the unnecessary stretched textures on the pillars' sides. It is really unnecessary to align 'base' textures, especially if even a well-aligned textures will be spoiled by harsh lighting.
