Map Battle 41 - Map us a Song

[Major Banter]

Very ethereal and creepy. Nice work - although I recommend you turn on a few lamps just for some contrast, you don't need to be too anal about the whole abandoned thing.

Don't use a vehicle as a light source btw - too L4D!

[Noodles]

Damn mate, didn't know you like Billy Talent or were working on that, it looks lovely. Have you seen the particle effect in 2fort with the falling leaves? Would look really good in that map.

Can you make an SGL version lol!

[Armageddon]

That song sucks... But the map is nice!

Just a quick sky and sealing of the map and this is what I have so far.
Signs by Tesla is the song



All the signs were found across the net and made into vtf's by myself.

[Add-9]

Still WIP...haven't worked on it as much as I wanted to or probably should have. Still much to do on it, but I will submit it tomorrow since I am leaving until after Christmas the day after.

[Zipfinator]

Turn on anti-aliasing please!

[Noodles]

Central pillars need detail. Add some dirt at the bottom of them.

Floor seems to clean considering the state of the rest of the architecture.

[evochinima]

Which song is it, add-9?

[Add-9]

Thanks for the criticism guys, I need it. Still working on detail to the floors, and I will see what I can do with the architecture of the pillars. I have an idea, though, I'll see how it works out.

It is Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash.

Whole song (some don't have third verse)

Lyrics:

I hear the train a comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a movin', and that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

I'm not going at a completely accurate representation of the prison, especially since I haven't seen "Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison".

[Furling]

Ok, so I lit up the streetlights (didn't make the light too bright not to ruin the fog) and made a few more tweaks.. Here's how it turned out:




If anyone has any more comments would be nice to hear them, otherwise these might as well be my finals, since I got plenty of other things to map

[Zipfinator]

It doesn't look like the lights are casting ANY light. It would be nice if there was a tiny bit on the ground or the surrounding foliage because it looks kind of odd right now.

[evochinima]

House to the left in pic 2 looks really odd. Blocky, sorta.

All Souls Night - FINAL

Here are my final screenshots. As I mentioned above, this is my first time doing something like this. Had a ton of fun, though, and I'm sure I'll be doing more of these... The song is All Souls Night by Loreena McKennitt, a Celtic/World artist from Canada. You can get the lyrics here. For the record, all of this is built using the Left 4 Dead SDK. All props and textures are stock. If you're interested, there are more WIP screenshots and commentary on how the scene was created on my Dev Blog. On to the screens...







Thanks everybody! Cheers!
