I like the look of 3dnj's abandoned house map, looks really spooky! I'd love to have a game in that. The idea is good but unfortunately a lot of crucial detail is lost in the dark, making for some not-so-attractive final shots. I'd love to see it under proper lighting though
I like Aus_Karlos' shots. The detail is very good but the concept didn't have much of an impact on me.
I thought my idea was a good idea of abandonment and I'm happy with the results of my first two shots, however I don't think I captured the drama and scale of the idea effectively enough
Daz,'s very cool shot! Looks nice. Perhaps not showing off enough of your concept though
I liked the surreal idea of Deathbagel's. It was unique, but I think more detail in the map and textures and lighting would make it more effective
Ilkimys and I seemed to have a similar idea. I like the idea and it was smartly pulled off (simple mapping) but some more play with the lighting, background (sky, fog?), and composition would make the shots look a lot more dramatic and attractive.
IneptGuard's abandoned shed (am I right?) looks very good, but the concept isn't clear enough
jangalomph's map looks cool. I like the detail that's done realistically yet simply (ie; the cracks in the ceiling and floor). It's not too detailed in areas where much detail isn't necessary. The lighting could have been more useful though as I'm not quite seeing enough clues to what exactly I'm looking at.
joedirt's map looks great. It's detailed and realistic, and the shots are done very well. Third pic with the television is my fav so far. I thought the idea was solid even if a little too obvious, but funnily enough no else attempted it. Use of props and textures is excellent. Only quarrel is that the skymap stands out as a a tad too cartoony
I like the lighting in mky's map but I think showing more content is needed for the idea
Phott's idea was unique but perhaps too simple, as shown through the map. Detail and lighting in the final shots was much improved though
Punky had some interesting shots of lighting and cool looking materials, but perhaps the idea was too simple.
Sathor's concept looks interesting but I'm not sure if i've quite got it - is it the idea of religion abandoned in a technological/scientific society?
Shred had an interesting idea and what looks like some custom textures! Good lighting and a very good first Hammer map. The idea reminds me of the dinosaurs abandoned on the island in Jurassic Park
Zipfinator's shots really appealed to me at first. The sky background, lighting and mapping all make for some interesting shots, however the idea is perhaps a tad too out there to fully grasp my attention
. I really do like the map though.
And that's everyone.
In the end I voted joedirt, best all-rounder I reckon.
