And these are normal ones like 5 squares. Corridors are just one our to make texture and light. But spending 5 almost 6 month now on Lara and the last crusade. IP: Logged

If you want to produce a polished result, tweak textures etc. etc. it takes as long as it takes. You have to know when to let go of it and send it into the world though. Some people just run through and miss the subtleties.... Just my view ------------------ Conan the Barbarian IP: Logged

Of course it depends on the size and modeling complexity of the room in question. Iīm very careful with the look of my levels (maybe thatīs why I have so many problems). My first level "City of Blezqi Zatsaz" was built in three months. This second one "The Buried Temple", is 50% complete, Iīve started it last april. Thereīs a stack of big rooms in there that took me three weeks to build (and I still did not finish it). IP: Logged

But I basically build the entire thing quickly then go back and detail each room, lights textures, and objects. So I take about 3hrs per room IP: Logged
