Map Battle 7: Skyscraper

Postby Blink on Fri Jan 13, 2006 7:21 pm

Back with another Map Battle and this time leaning more to the older way the battles' were set as this gained a lot of entries and was very popular, let's hope the same can happen here.

This time we are looking for you to recreate a scene that shows off a skyscraper (very tall and large building) and if possible it's surroundings. You can do more then one if you wish and have whatever theme or setting you desire but the centrepiece of your image must be a skyscraper of any kind.

Some reference images:

As you can see, it can have any style, modern or futuristic.

Now for a few guidelines:


- Your map must have a skyscraper(s) in it, and the skyscraper has to be the main piece of the map

- You can only post 3 screenshots, and you can only submit one map.

- When posting your screenshots, always explain if they are final or still WIP

- Additional mods like bloom mod and garrys's mod CAN'T be used, only HL2, HL2DM and CS:S are allowed

- 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 whatever custom content you want

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

- The maps don't need to be playable

- Avoid posting your pictures with big resolutions, since I'll have to resize them later, and they will loose some quality

Don't forget, you can have night, day, rain, snow, futuristic, modern, old, one skscraper, several. Use your imagination

The battle ends at the 29th of Janurary, midnight GMT.

Oh man, this is exciting! I -love- skyscrapers, and this might just be the perfect opportunity for me to start experimenting with custom content.
