I agree with most people that dungeon rooms should be high.
Do you thing that in dungeon levels you could include one-two rooms with ceiling at the height of that in the picture?
This is 215 units high-(5 meters).
A low dungeon ceiling?

Another one.
I cant get the lightning look right yet-
I have placed many lights with radius of 250-350 to break the shadowy parts a litle,without placing fires nearby.
im missing floor brazier models to place in flames to make the lightning look more natural.
even if i make and add details like rubbish,sculls,bonus health,gold,monster generator lairs and etc...
i think i could not match the other top titles of the kind.
the scenario is simple hack n, slash like gauntlet,and i dint use many logic gates and triggers for multiple events.

Very nice screens and I say suit your own taste but I do think that the high ceiling look a little cooler but not necessarily better.
Really I think it should depend on the scheme of the level. A great hall should be a great hall and other areas such as corridors etc should feel cramped.
All in all I think it looks great monster and all. I would enlarge the goblins shadows a little though.
For lighting you may try adding some default lighting. That will break up the hard shadows and is more efficient than adding more lights to the scene.
All in all very nice work though.

Thanks-I will enlarge the monster shadows.
By the way,there are nt goblins,they are kobolds-at about three feet(90 cm tall).
I already use the default light.
The default light level gives a flat twilight look-while i wanted some light contrast on the models.
i should better say that i placed those lights,more for the monsters to have some light contrast as they pass near by the lights-and i thought maybe better add models like braziers near the light sourses.

There are two rows of lights of radius around 350:
One row close to the ground which are ussually 300 radius,
and one row of similar number light up,closer to the ceiling.
The ceiling lights do not light the corners,and the wall over the exit doors.
thats mainly why it has that depth look,
and concentrate the eye to the exits,so you dont get lost easily.

My brother manolis told me that in real life a room like that would have arches to support it,so i changed.
At the center of the room,the ceiling is a vault-although the light does nt reach the top.
The vault is made of meshes similar to terrain-these triangular boxes.
I have raised the gamma of the engine and the hud looks a little washed out-unless i darken its bitmaps.
Still i have to add floor brazier lights.

Did you add the Arches with Rfeditpro or are the models?
Oh yea Nice work!

The arches and whole geometry are made in max,and are exported bt running a max script called map exporter.
i found it in scriptspot.
Be carefull:
All geometry faces must be snapped to grip,and since i cant snap anything in max,i move objects and vertices by entering the move and rotate values in a max tool window called:"transform type-in".
The arches are (arrayed)boxes placed one after the other to a line,
grouped,and edit meshed.
This means i pulled down the bottom row of vertices,until they made the arch.
The dome is made of simmilar way,i just used modified boxes that looked from the top like a triangle.
This means i took a box of 100-100-100,
welded the two corners to the others,cloned it,rotated it so it so its diagonal edge will touch with the previous one,
Then i cloned and placed them to edit them like in the pic.
