[LVL ED] Lighting Maps...

[Rapture]

I would suggest looking at other people's CS that have good atmosphere and look at how they light a level. It really isn't that hard, so saying "I really suck" isn't a option anymore. You suck because your not actually attempting to it. Their is plently of work out their to give you a good understanding to how to do it. Practice makes perfect, I was really shitty to, at the start you just have to go over that barrier of not trying it.

Look at the original Amnesia maps. Make a dummy copy of any room and start adding lights in and you'll get really good at withen a few weeks.

P.S. You might want to work on your mapping. Like I said, look at other people's work. You really need to spend a lot of effort of rotating/sizing objects to give your maps a organic and atmospheric look and feel. And add particle effects like fog (Change the color if you have to), they make a world of difference.
