Hello, I've challenged myself by "remaking" the first room that we visit in the game
Deus Ex Human Revolution, which is the office of Megan Reed.
I spent at least 23 hours on it, there are still things to tweak like adding papers, files and other crap on the desktop, and after that it will be over !
Please note that I used models from other games that I found on a site dedicated to Half Life multiplayer because I don't have great modeling skills, I know that is illegal and for this reason, I can't release the map, I hope you'll understand.
Please note also, I'm a real snail LOL.

The shots are shown in chronological order
During the three first hours, the basic layout is done, i've used basic geometry ( a crate instead of a table ) to do a basic layout for my entites.
The two next hours, I've started to texturing the room and add real furniture.
I've spent the next hours to convert and redo the uv-map of some models, i've created speculars for these also.
Nothing to show here
I've got to get that so peculiar Deus Ex feeling on the mood of my map
Today, the map is near completion, I have an hour left to add final details on the desk.
That's all for now, updates will come later.
As usual, C & C are welcome, thanks !
Excuse my grammar errors, I'm French.
