Creating a observation hallway

Introduction

Making bts style, observation halls is a simple job. It takes little time, especially with prefabricated items.

Due to the highly detailed nature of observation rooms, this tutorial will be provided in images.

Tutorial

• 

  Create the floor for your hallway. It should be interesting, with many different paths.

• 

  Add the walls (128 units tall)

• 

  Texture the floor and walls, then copy the walls, re size to 64 and re texture

• 

  Add the roof

• 

  Add the light bars around the perimeter. These are 4 units thick.

• 

  Create the base for the light. 160x120x16. Cut two wedges on the ends.

• 

  Make a hole in the center, 96x96 units.

• 

  Create an arch as shown.

• 

  Select the whole arch, and clip it square. Make it a func_detail.

• 

  Seal the func brush.

• 

  Texture the light. Make the inside light, white 009 with a scale of 50.

• 

  Add a spotlight and a point spotlight. Default variables will work.

• 

  Group the light and place in multiple locations.

• 

  Cut away the roof where the light goes.

• 

  Add the doors. (I grouped a detailed frame and door with a skip.

• 

  Copy and paste. Select only the skip, and carve. You may then delete the skip brushes.

• 

  Texture the walls where the door is.

• 

  Create the detailed fuse sets. Skip brushes will help you align them.

• 

  Delete the skip brushes, and change the prop models.

• 

  Replace your dev textures for extra optimization.

• 

  Add cubemaps and spawns.

• 

  Final result. (Use expert compile for proper shadows)
