I've had another solid weekend of mapping. Progress has been made on Residential Evil. Check this out:

That constitutes the main foyer area and two side-rooms that connect the front and rear sections of the balcony. I spent a lot of time experimenting with lighting and sectoring to get the framerate optimized. I have this area running at the same FPS as the retail maps do on my machine, so I think I should be good to go.

I downloaded the demo for SWAT4 earlier this morning, after hearing some positive word of mouth about it on the Games forum and remembering that I'd always meant to give it a look. I've been trying to get myself to actually play it all day, but I keep adding to the map and tweaking this or that instead. I've also only left my apartment for like an hour this whole weekend, and my computer for only a few more than that. I guess obsession is a good sign!
