Three little comments:

1) I love the way your Skaarj interiors look with this lighting. Nice work on the coronas too, the purple light in the "thing" on the first screenshot looks very nice.

2) However, there interiors look quite empty and blank.

3) This lighting which is very nice doesn't work too well on outside areas. Your last screenshot looks weird, and I'm positive it's largely because of the sharpness of the shadows. It feels a bit wrong.

Also, this gigantic yellow corona on the second shot... I guess it's made by adding a series of small coronas side-by-side? It might be a bit intense.

1. Ta :)

2. Those shots are WIPs, so far.

3. That's because, the cliff edge above the screenshot in the third pic is far away from the surface which wears the shadow. The further away the object from the shadow wearing object, the blurrier the shadow should be. I don't know how to get around this while surfaces have a 'set' lightmap scale. :/

They're not coronas :P

I don't know what I should do to make them look better, if you say they might look too intense.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

Hey Kajgue . How many sprites you used for each lamp ? :-o
These are normal sprites with other texture, right ? Or maybe custom coronas or somethin..
Other than that, everything looks great, just put some more decorations here and there. :-P Even now this project looking good, this is beauty.
You inspired me to do something . Going to mapp..
