The pillars are near enough copies of the ones in Halo 3, the only difference is that there isn't a metal loop that connects them all.
Their supposedly holographic emitters for the hologram of the ring and planet that it orbits.
I can see if i can edit them a little to add what you suggested though.

Yeah I agree, but as of yet I've not found a opacity slider and the light has a preset style of lighting, solid, flickering or pulsing and for pulsing there isn't one that is fast enough.
I'l see what i can do about adding lights to the ceiling though..

just in case that didn't make any sense, something like this, though I didn't make the beam thin enough.

I think the beam moves a bit too fast imo.

The energy beam is fine, it's the flashes that are too fast. Just because the beam's moving doesn't mean they should be flickering that fast.

Yup.

what's it for, looks pretty alright

Eventually it'll just be a little UDK scene for my portfolio.

Reminds me a little bit of the interior of the ship in Mothership Zeta.

my previous comments still apply.

I'm planning on breaking up the continuity by making a few different pipe segments, and I'm toying with the idea of wires hanging from the ceiling. I also kinda want to have grate flooring through the middle of the path so you can see below everything and have some other stuff going on down there.... might do water or a maze of pipes or wiring or something. That thing on the left at the end of the first segment that the pipes and shit run through will be tossed around too to help break it up. I haven't fucked with the pipes yet because I plan on just basically cutting up the ones I already have and just repurposing the pieces so that I don't have to UV/Texture new ones, but I can still make new ones.

I want to get this stuff in the UDK though before I create anything else new, so right now I'm UVing all of it... which is as glorious as you'd imagine.
