The ThinkingWithPortals Map Showcasing Thread
@RectorRocks: yeah, you are probably right, thanks for the comment. You're not the first one who points that out, Lp and Sickle already did yesterday. I added extra lights in order to raise the overall lighting because I thought it was too dimmed, lol... I'll play with the contrast later today 
...as I mentioned I'm dealing with lighting right now, so it's not definitive. Also maybe you're liking more the first pic because it has black textures in, they look great with the warm lights (I prefer those over the white ones). Usually the mixture of white and black destroyed textures allows you a more rich environment than if you try to keep the white ones all over like in this case...
@Fluppy. thanks for the kind comments mate 
THAT is the magic of the original White Room! 
I loved the idea of having a completely white room where, as you said, many flings and crazy stuff is possible (amazing video-shorcuts btw 
) and still build a solid and challenging puzzle! But ALL merit here goes to Toncica! Indeed the original one is clean and elegant, while mine might be a bit more twisted As I mentioned I had to destroy certain (lot of) walls in the extra area to avoid portals on, and I guess this kind of breaks the rules >.< !!

Wow that looks really awesome Jose Guess you are the new master of destruction 
The bottom left is my favourite picture, love the obs room broken in half.
I do agree with the others that apart from the first picture its a little too bright, still looks epic though.
I know it's a bit too destroyed, but let me explain this: since the original map is called "white room" because of the absence of black tiles, I challenged myself to keep that idea from the beginning, so there isn't any black tile into the map except for the entry part (same as the original); this forced me to destroy certain walls in an "extra" area that I made as a way to avoid portals from being opened >.< And I decided to take this chance to make a destroyed/overgrown style map... because from all the orignal themes this is my favourite! 
Any suggestions or comments are highly appreciated
Wow! That looks amazing! Attention to detail is fantastic. Perhaps a bit bright, but that's arguable.
Destoryed/Overgrown needs harsher shadows. More contrast!

Some destroyed detailing for Portal Stories: Mel, btw this chamber is tilted about 4 degrees or so.
Trying to get back into map making, I've been out of it for a long while. I found this old side scrolling project I was working on, I decided to show it so that maybe someone more experienced with how some of this stuff works would like to take a crack at it.
Before, I couldn't get Chell's thirdperson model to show up, so I made an attempt to bind a model to the player, that worked, sort of. The camera still needed work, as well as limiting the player's movements to only the A and D keys, because moving up and down would mess up the player's position on the map.
I doubt I'll ever finish this before I go onto other projects, so if anyone wants to expand on this idea, then they can go right ahead.
I've been looking through the pages here, and I see some very promising looking maps from everyone. Keep up the good work!

Man that's pretty cool!!!! you have to finish that.
OK, I've been playing with the lighting contrast and it is becoming to look much more interesting!
Thanks to all for the suggestions
@Lonewolf: those screenies are impressive, as usual! YOU are the master of destruction, no doubt about that.

[/spoiler]Much better. Last image seems to have a lack of shadows though.
