[QUOTE=SweetSwifter;27053360]The crystal cave looks awesome. I've seen the documentary to.
There is, however, one big issue. The Subsurface-Scattering. The crystal looks beautiful, because it has a type of 'fog; inside it's volume, which makes it white. This also causes an effect, which makes the edges more transparent due to the lesser-depth light travels through, to reach the eyes of the viewer. This is what makes those crystals so awesome. Source, however, can't do this.
I do think you could get close, in some way or another, possible using a model which consists of many crystals, all a bit bigger than the one inside (like those Russian doll-in-doll-in-dolls), which have a transparency so that, when layered over one another, they form a dense material which is fully opaque.
The Z-buffer won't probably like that though, and if you space them out more, you get jagged edges.
I'm putting far too much thought into this.[/QUOTE]
Making an exact simulation of this is impossible for source, but making a model with the effect of a fog inside would be possible to make I recon? Or did you mean making it with brushes?
No no, this would have to be a model, since the planes would have to be located closer than one Source grid unit. If you leave too much space, you'll see that the fog jags at the edges of the model. If you put it too close, the Z-buffer will run out of decimals, which results in z-fighting.
How do we submit the entries for judging anyway? It doesn't say on the op, and *someone* went and got themselves banned.
WebOfTrust will be back shortly.
WebOfTrust is already here.. And has been watching..

That doesn't sound creepy at all.
What's the next competition? These all seem to be major flops/Lamarr enters.

The Facepunch Mapping Content: Modern Cities.
Like you must make a small modern town.. Which doesn't have to be enterable.
I think whatever the next comp is, we need a few different leagues, so you can have people like lamarr, oskutin and deadchicken competing against each other, and everyone else competing against each other.

Oooo...mapping competition ladder...
I like the idea of a ladder.
Although I also enjoy the challenge of competing up against Lamarr, or Oskutin, the perfect mapping sods.
:h:Oskutin:h:Lamarr:h:
Ok Oskutin and me vs Sweetshifter it's on motherfucker.

A good idea, it will give people more hope and chance. :smile:

Kind of like Le Mans, but it would lead to a lot of arguing between achieved mapping and potential mapping
We should have a year-round map-off and throughout people can donate to an account and at the end - The winner(s) is given the money.
TOURNAMENT!
Others can still enter of course - get more votes than the ones still remaining? unlucky, you're still not going through.

I'll make a beautiful 3D model for Source
of a white flag. :frown:
The end?
The next comp should be single player map. So it would need to be more than just eye candy.

Already had the water one of it.
Maybe a single player map that uses physics somehow?
[QUOTE=oskutin;27110543]The end?[/QUOTE]
Just keeping it as a last resort. It's to lull you into a feeling of false security.
Well...map is finished, but i'm starting over :)
That one lacks...soul.
Suffice to say:

I like the idea of a competition ladder. I don't quite know how it would work but it sounds cool. I also think we should have another single-player mapping contest.
A physics map where you have one of those things where a ball runs down an incredibly elaborate track, triggering various things that result in an egg being smashed or something would be hella awesome.
A rube-goldberg device? That would be awesome to do.
Anyone have a link to the water contest thread? I'd like to take a look

I couldn't remember the name, thank you.
1 month map-offs going to december of next year, each gradually increasing in size over the months, we start off at 512^3, 1024^3 2048^3 and then it goes into freestyle rounds that are centred on a certain goal/prefab.
One month to go...
