The ThinkingWithPortals Map Showcasing Thread
Looks good! (Perhaps you'll need to dial back the HDR bloom effect just a bit, to prevent whiteouts.)
Also nice to know that there are still Portal 1 mappers out there

Well...I'm a Portal 2 mapper but I think Portal 2 mapping is... I don't know kinda...boring and I prefer Portal 1 mapping.
Working on a dream sequence, but I can't seem to get it to look right. Anyone know what I'm missing? Link to Picture
You might want to change either the light model or the light itself. It's a globe light, so you'd expect light to be cast in all directions, but there's only a spot on the floor. Other than that looks pretty good.

Much better in my opinion. My only issue now is that the globe is brighter on the underside... I'd try putting the light inside the globe model and disable casting shadows on the model if possible. However that might make the outside of the globe look dark.
Hmm.

Both screenshots of my WIP Co-op chamber, my first "clean" map ever. I'm thinking of creating a mappack (with a story) involving GLaDOS and the coop bots.
(Still have no idea how to get image links working)
Those look nice. One comment: you still have some extended and wonky panels; those look a bit out of place in a clean style map IMO.
As for embedding images: your image width must be 800px or less, or they would mess up the page layout.
You can still embed a thumbnail with a link to the full image, like so:
(Use the "embed thumbnails of this image" option on the ImageShack page.)
Try adding a custom colour correction and / or tweaking HDR tonemapping settings
Those effects can do a lot for surreal or dream scenes.
