Map Battle 34 - Port

[Megadude]

gonna post this small wip, since nobody mention and airship port yet...

gonna do the fantasy flying piece of land in the sky thing, with a port and some airships flying around. hope the smoke env will help me out rendering some nice 3d clouds.



let the battle begin!

Why do I get the urge to play a ballon race map? Nice start.

A Port is place where ships can transfer passengers and cargo. Classically a port is also referred to as a harbour and it typically means a seaport. But since we're not in 1700's anymore, an airport or even a spaceport also fit within this theme.

I think its allowed phott

Well hot damn I just got an idea similar to Jister...

Nice to see some WIPs already.

@Phott & others: I intentionally added the option to create a air- or spaceport. So go ahead!
@dissonance: I wanted to add a note about port wine, but I figured someone would come with that suggestion anyway . So go ahead, but make it fit within the theme.

We know you're kidding. Everyone can see it's an Adviser from Episode 2 carrying a giant piece of poo.

haha what a coincidence, i was brain storming ideas for a L4D campaign i want to work on, and i came up with a pretty good (if i do say so myself) idea for a finale, and it just so happens to take part in a seaport! these are some WIPs that ive started, and i think that if its ok, ill modify it and enter it in the map battle. now i just have to create some proper models for the cranes!





(as a side note, does anyone know how to export a set of brushes to XSI as a model? this is because i still havent figured out how to scale my models properly, and its a good way to get started with the overall shape. i know i can just scale them after in the qt(?) file, but that doesnt help when i dont know how big it is to begin with haha)

Well, in an hour I'll be on my way to Berlin, but I've done quite a bit of work brushing out my futuristic, Utopian-sunset port.

This reminds me a LOT of the gunship repair bay that was cut from HL2.

On a side note, anyone feel like doing that?
