Lara Croft is exploring a Tomb, rumour has it that somewhere in the Tomb there is a mysterious artifact that will give the owner great powers. Lara is intent on finding this artifact to destory it, things with that much power and evil can not be left to lie and gather dust.

Yeah, I only have 4 or 5 rooms done so far and that room is the only one I have textured right so far, I will work on the other ones and then post some more screens in here.

Oh, you just started? So I can give you advice, on how to making and stuff, coz I got a good idea about that artefact which must be destroyed, but if you have a better idea, I wont mind, this would be a good thing in my forth coming levels too

The suggestion I wanna make is quite unique, dunno anyone else who's ever thought of this. The suggestion is for the artefact, not for the other level, so I think I should email you, so that anyone else wouldn't use it in his/her level and say you stole the idea from him/her. I dunno maybe this has been done before, but shall I email you?

It looks to me (correct me if I'm wrong), that you've simply added shadows in order to give varied lighting to your level. A better way to do it is to darken the entire room, then add soft lights as you see fit. It looks more realistic that way.

Lara isn't retextured very nicely, you should work on it.
For a tomb the rooms are too light, I hope you'll fix that.
Plz don't make streched textures! That spoils everything!(the streched textures are in screen3)
I'd advice to add a spooky fog in the pit in place of those shadows. The fog color chart is somewhere in the FAQ
The spikeball things are placed too much, I think. And watch the amount of object you place (doors, enemies, traps), I had too much of them in my first version of my level, and I had to split the level into 3 levels, because of this. The static objects are not counted as objects, you can place them more.

Thankz, I am working on the stretched textures now, I am thinking of putting lava down there instead, and I will work on the shaddows.

Go to graphics setup and click software.
If it is on software put it on hardware than.

Which passage, in front or behind Lara?
No matter which, I'd choose the one where Lara is now.
