Valve has officially said, that you are allowed to use any assets freely from Valve games AS LONG AS you use them in Valve game. So you're allowed to port models and textures from L4D to HL2, because they both are Valve games.

you could make those darker areas more bright and warmer projected texture. also are there any observation rooms?

Ceiling looks bit empty, maybe add beams or change texture to dirty ceiling panels(like in cs_office). And what Rapsis already said, do something to the lights. Less of them and maybe one or two of them flickering or completely dark. Overall looks neat though!

You can see vacuum tubes just clipping through wall. Add tube entrance model so it looks more natura, I don't remember models name exactly, but I'm sure you'll find it. Skybox is empty. Add something there, nature, wherever that facility exists. Floor could use different texture, or just white tiles if player doesn't have portalgun yet.

Good work. At least you've added "tideline" overlay on the walls near the goo! :)

edit: platforms over goo needs more tough looking pistons. At this moment they look so weak that when you step on them, they'll crack.

For them who stopped tracking this: Was it wise decision after all? Because we're really getting into this **** real soon !!

Looking good! I like how you mixed cave theme with destroyed textures.

You got it right, Cyber!

If that blue thing is water, then it looks quite strange, and edges of it looks bit "spiky". Maybe make them smoother and change water texture?
Rest of it is looking greatt!

Agree with Ruby, also, good you've added extra detail to the button! It looks way more interesting now.

That has been in our minds once, but we're staying with Hammer, because of In-Game editor restricts only to 128x128 brushes, entities can't be extra details, like in buttons we currently have nice lighting effect and Editors .vmf file is so messy that it makes my head hurt when I look at the grid.

My jaw just fell on the floor.

I like that light coming into that room making door shape.

Haha ! That would've been strange though.

You could change floor texture to other one (maybe) and use warm lighting on lamps(same model you used has warm texture). White quite unnatural. On the other hand, it looks pretty nice!

Imo the lighting is too white here. In overgrown places it would be more dark and warm lighting.

Its on all textures I think, it can be fixed by changing its scale to 4.00 and 7.25 + HDR compile to make it more dark

Now this looks much more better, I like those factory concrete walls more than old observation ones. Good job !

"Wake up Mr. Rat Man ...and smell the ashes"

Woah, I like that lobbys huge screen !

I see but imo it looks quite weird.

gun free puzzle solving, like in testchambers without portalgun.

PS.Did you know that Valve had an idea to create Portal 2 game WITHOUT portal gun.

"tideline" overlays to walls where toxic goos surface cuts.

If you have longer than 128 units long fizzler. You could split that into 3 parts, left and right side with "fizzler_left/right"(length 64 units) and center with "fizzler_center", then click fit on each side.

PS. I don't remember exactly correct names for textures, but you'll find out !

When it is finished, Its not even in half way.

Nope, you're slowing up the time or freezing it totally. Everything affects to it, except player.

Good to hear :)
