An Elbows-Up Sergal 🔪

Having started out and giving up with Quake 2 ages ago, it's been gratifying learning to map for the Doom 3 engine. Normally I hate seeing my old stuff, but here I'm like damn, I went from a single monotexture room with a zombie in it, to something that I'm not embarrassed at.

A poorly-lit room with a single black and blue mechanical texture for floors and ceiling, with the single light source not being strong enough to illuminate the walls. The player holds a plasma gun, vented exhaust on the side glowing an eerie blue while its ammo counter indicates it has 50 rounds. A lone zombie stands at the edge of the darkness, back turned to us, arm raised over its head.
We're on the second floor of a building, looking down into a hallway that ends abruptly at a wall illuminated with a sickly green light, warning us that it is a restricted area. The hallway continues to the right to places unseen. Various industrial clutter like gas cylinders and boxes litters the corner.
We look out through a slanted octagonal bubble window to an orbital vista, a distant sun glowing blue-hot, touching the thick pale orange haze of the planet below. A couple screens and panels are arranged around the viewport, and there is a hint of some kind of station structure outside. (note: the skybox is borrowed from Xonotic)
A streaming set-up is festooned with various textures from Quake 3 Arena, with a pink sergal in the lower right corner, and a TV screen showing gameplay footage from Quake 3 in the lower left. The main draw is a view of the DarkRadiant editor, the workspace split into four panes plush a side panel; three of those panes have a white and blue-on-black colour scheme. The remaining pane shows a more fully rendered view of a large two-storey room with what looks to be a central fountain and pool. Vending machines are tucked away in a nook to the side of the room, and the whole area is lit by two arcing skylights spanning the length of the ceiling.
