door way / portcullis brushwork?

[ceriux]

so im trying to make a portcullis, and this is what i have so far... i cant seem to get the brushwork right at the top of the door. does anyone know a way they can show me that will help me out here?

[frag.machine]

What is exactly the problem ? The lacking brush to form the arch top or the textured alignment ?
Using QuArK, I'd solve the first this way:

Most of the time, snap to grid is your friend. This example uses a 8 qu grid, which works fine for most maps.
The misaligned textures are more complicated, I don't know any way to reliably make them look right without a lot of hand tweaking.
(that's why most of these cases I'd go for some texture that don't require alignment at all)

Textures look fine to me, but its missing the top point. Easily fixed.

Here is one I just started. I used grid 4 for the trim work only.

btw trenchbroom makes texture alignment super easy =3

I only did it cause you posted yours..

Another 40 mins to add the bars and so some texturing. I had medieval thoughts in my head initially, but had no idea how to texture it that way well so I went Egyptian.



If this was in a map I would imagine it would have lots of blood and lava pools if not a river some where...

looks really nice, how did my doorway turn out?

Looks good to me! And you already added wall torches which I had in mind for somewhere on mine as well nice.

A few lighting ideas before bed.
