Map Battle 5 : Generator

Postby Blink on Mon Sep 05, 2005 6:59 pm

Hope everyone is ready to start getting stuck into Hammer again, as we have another challenge waiting for you.

This time we are trying something a little different, it's good to experiment. You will be assigned two models to work with and the surrounding and the models' location is up to you, this should really get some ideas going.

The two models in question are these two rugged looking Generators:

Image
-------------------------------------------------------------------
models/props_canal/generator01.mdl

Image
-------------------------------------------------------------------
models/props_canal/generator02.mdl

Here are a few guidelines, please read these but previous battlers will know the drill.

You can use either of these models or both of them in your map - It's up to you, whatever makes your map look the best but one or both of these MUST be featured in your screenshots.

The map is for show only - To win you need the sexiest image, the map does not need to be playable, just make it look fantastic

Three images for the final - Once you have finished you can show off up to 3 800x600 images for the final shots, these will be the ones that are voted on, so make sure you state they are final

Show as you go - One of the best parts is seeing everyone form their ideas as they go, so feel free to show of WIP images in this thread as you progress, get feedback and generally have fun

For an idea of how it works feel free to observe any of the other threads here.

You will have two weeks to complete your final shots. The final images must be posted by 11:59pm GMT on the 19th of September.

Good luck with this and.....Gentlemen, Start your Hammers!

EDIT:
Alright I'ma do the hoover dam, I know basing it off real locations is kinda dumb, but the hoover dam deserves it.

It looks like he's just changed the windows font settings...

Btw vivi surely the whole challenge of the competition is to create something with those models, regardless of whether or not you like them. It's all about creativity after all, i'm pretty sure no one loves those models but most are willing to give it a go anyway..its all for fun after all

I might enter if i have time, not that i expect great things as per usual :)
