:frogsiren:MAP IS DONE.
:siren:Link to the release: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=21324411[/url]:siren:
I'm making a *fully functional* map of Pandora, which includes a SKYBOX edition of the hometree.
It is set at early evening, as to bring out the color of the forest. It's a simple map with detail, and i made it as CLOSE as i could to my mental image of Pandora, with the restrictions of hammer.
[b]Features[/b]
-Waterfall and a river.
-Thick but not overdone trees, and thick but cheap vegetation!
-Bioluminescent plantlife, probably the most expensive part of the map.
-Mobile linkup trailer!
-Range of custom sounds and materials.
[b]The effort.[/b]
Well, i was sitting playing GMod, and i made a forest which looked similar to Pandora, so i thought i'd make the plants glow. A few lights into this and GMod crashed, but i thought "why not make it permanent?"
And so i set out to make a forest map. Now 2 days into it, i've got the map finalized, and have added the linkup trailer, along with a damn good portion of the forest. So far, it looks just like it does in the movie, but somewhat smaller [model restrictions :/ ] and without any animals/people around to piss you off.
[b]How you can help out[/b]
If you like, you can contribute to this map in a few areas which i am rusty. Just PM me if your'e serious.
-I have only a limited set of plantlife, if you can then consider modelling up some RAINFOREST trees [not fucking pine-trees, thats all i can find!]. For an idea on what trees i'm aiming for, Stromy3.mdl from the Foliage Pack. Also, Mushrooms [glow-able] and undergrowth are a good consideration [these from Oblivion?]
-Some map-help, my waterfall looks like crap, if you are a great waterfall maker, help me out! And how to reduce my VRAD compile time, it takes half an hour and i'm only 50% on the vegetation.
-Na'vi playermodels? these would suit the map well.
-Any more little stuff, like tips and tricks.

Theres more in the release thread. To get the best mental picture: it looks a bit like the part where Jake jumps off the cliff and into the water while running from the giant-rat.
[highlight]This map is due to be finished now, and is on GMod.org now, so download now.[/highlight]

From Borderlands?

I think he means from Avatar
[QUOTE=IWHeadHunter;21282275]I think he means from Avatar[/QUOTE]
Uuuuhhh, not more crap from Avatar. That movie was way overrated...
There's barely (if any) vegetation in Borderlands and I don't remember any waterfall.
Dude, you gotta have PICS before calling it a wip thread
Great another Guy who think's he can make himself popular by making a thread up about something so Amazing to hype People up

He didn't.
I hate how they both have the same world name.

I expect a fullbright map.

Or no environment lighting and fuckloads of carve
[quote]This map is due to be finished and polished-off by the 28th of April[/quote]
I just saw this, and I laughed so hard.
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;21289527]Or no environment lighting and fuckloads of carve[/QUOTE]
No environment lighting is essentially the same thing.
Needs about 100% more pictures
oh wait, 100% more of something that doesn't exist, sorry!
Someone with the screen name Lolnubs, an emoticon for an avatar, a picture-less thread, makes me loose all faith that an actual good map will be produced.
I have a feeling it will blow minds. How can anyone possibly think they made something this awesome, without actually doing it. Is there no self-criticism?!
[QUOTE=Haxxer;21291873]Needs about 100% more pictures

Technically 100% more would be none because 100% of zero is nothing.
thats what he said, he just didn't punctuate it.

Exactly my point.

Stop doing that. It's a joke, you don't need to be all logical. It makes you come off as a killjoy.
10/10 map, best thing I ever saw, I mean I had to put my 3D glasses on just to not orgasm all over the place, how did you do that on the source engine...
Oh wait.
I´ve wanted something like this all the time since I saw the movie the first time, after the second time even more, after the third time I saw it I was even willing to do it myself and after the fourth time, I even tried to make a mod (Epic fail). I may speech for all of the Avatar fans out there, DONT dissapoint us!
A+ WIP would view again.

You're a sad sad person to go see a film 4 times in a short space of time just because you want something in it to exist.

But you are if you mess with me :smug:
Actually, reading the OP led me to find out he plans on making a rainforest scene using pine tree models.
