The Super-Spy That Wasn't

My roommate and I are delving into Source editing (on different projects), and I've managed to model some ideas that I've had floating around in my head now for a while. So, here are a few WIP shots from "The Atrium."

The pools and the ground around them is still too bland, but I'm not quite sure what to do to spice things up. Maybe a raised edge around the pools would help? I might also try raising the little bridges. Any ideas?

What about an arched bridge, and a stone edge around the pools?
More curves would be good, its pretty blocky. A nice curve is a pretty thing, much more so than a box.

That is actually really freaking cool. I like that a lot. It reminds me a little bit of Halo or something.

Me too. Reminds me of that Halo 2 level where you kill the first prophet.

That is REALLY cool. The only gripe I have is the pools really don't fit in. You might try a raised fountain though..

I agree about the pools but I reckon that it would look better if that entire inset bit was water, possibly flowly gently.

nope.
