I really love the not connected polygon vertice look (I'm serious; no sarcasm here). The visuals are quite nice, with the exception of the elevated land, which looks kinda freaky.

The "Island" looks like a penis, and It's wrapped in ropes and that's a little kinky. But the shading is nice, it looks like some of the default maps, in a good way.

The ropes are very complicated and weird, imo.

It's like you enabled wireframe and added the ropes over the lines.

your only problem is how you can make out polygons where the shading doesn't quite blend together, try to avoid that.

I like the new one, but the texture stretching is questionable in places. The layout is much, much better, slap on some greenish scenery and you've got a stylish rocky deathmatch map.

Wow, the second one looks really, really nice.

MM and Chakapoko would be proud.  Although, the stretching could've been executed better.

Just add some scenery, fix those textures, give it a new bg color, and voila!

I object very strongly to that.

The texture and texture-stretching for the second one are terrible. Fix 'em up! Lovely level layout, tho'. As for the first one, I don't like all those ropes around the boulder, and some of the polygons' colors are out-of-place, but it's otherwise all right.

Try putting in color, not just lumination changes.

You should try using more colors, it makes maps mare interesting. Anyway, I love the layout of the 3rd one, the shading is ok, but a little uninteresting. I also Dislike the use of "tree1" sceneries because they have snow on them. It's nice to see a descent new mapper around, and you will of course get better as you make more maps.

Do you use MM, or polyworks?
