Map Battle 15: All wet [New Deadline]

[BaRRaKID]

Time for another map battle, hopefully with more people participating then last time.
The theme this time is water. You can do anything you want with your map, but it needs to have water somewhere in it.
The rules are the same has before, and here they are:

RULES:

- The map can have any time, and size, but it has to contain water in it.

- You can only post 3 screenshots, and you can only submit one map. I would prefer if you didn't saved the screenshots as thumbnails, and instead use the direct link (in case you'r using a free image hosting site)

- When posting your screenshots, always explain if they are final or still wip. Any screenshot map that is not labeled as final wont be acepted.

- The final screenshots most be taken ingame with proper light (no fullbright please), and textured. This means, finish your map before posting it!

- Additional mods like bloom mod and garrys's mod CAN'T be used, only HL2, HL2DM, CS:S, DOD:S and Loast Coast (or any other official mod) are allowed.

- Usage of garry's mod to take screenshots, and to place ragdolls/npcs, or props (specially props) is forbiden. Only the map is taken in consideration, so making this won't help you much.

- You can't use any extra software (like photoshop for example) to enhance your screenhosts. Of course usual changes like resizing, croping, or adding your name on the images are allowed.

- You can use maps that you had already made, but that have never been used in any of the other battles. When using an already made map, be sure that it fits with the theme, so that you don't get disqualified.

- You can use custom content. When using costum content wich you did not made, make sure you have permission to use it.

- The maps are judged according to their visual quality, so make them look the best you can.

- The maps don't need to be playable. You just have to create a scene wich is visually good, not a full playable map, so don't worry about stuff like optimization, or gameplay.

- Avoid posting your pictures with big resolutions, since the forum resizes them, and they may loose some quality. Try 800x600 or 640x480

- Keep in the spirit of things and show off your work in progress shots.

- If we suspect that any of the maps is breaking the rules, the author will be contacted via private message, asking for the original vmf file, wich should be delivered to the design section admin 3 days after it is requested. If not the author of that map will be disqualified.

The battle ends at the 8th of October, at midnight (24:00h) GMT. If needed there will be a time extend of 1 or 2 days.

Good luck every one!

lol maybe this time i'll do it hahaha! got some ideas.

[The Watcher]

I'll be sure to join in this one. I just need to brainstorm on some nice, unique ideas...

[MercX]

This'll be fun, Source has problems with the reflections if you have water on multiple levels. Regretfully I have mod work cut out for me, but best of luck to all participants.

[The Watcher]

This is like the forth battle to start right after the last one. The last 10 or so had a big break after one ends and another begins. Perhaps this is a good thing?

[JLea]

Hang on..Water..thats it? Damn, I think I'll just go making a tropical scene

[Ripper_hugme]

ITS A DAMM SHAME I CANT OPEN STEAM!!!!!

[The Gaffer]

Got me a day off work today, and got the weekend as well, so we'll see what happens. Got to move some stuff in etc. etc. but think I might have a go at my first ever Interlopers map battle.

[Woe Kitten]

hmmmmm... very open battle this one, insanely so. Maybe I will make the pyramids and just put a glass of water in the foreground of the shot.

[UberSpeed]

Can I make a nice city level and have a little puddle in some random place?



but I have an idea, a proper one

Barra, you need to edit the date. I think you mean 6th of October. September 6th was over a week ago.
