I want to see what can be done. Let's start off using 1 1024x1024 brush and use only the carve tool to make a map. You can add props and lighting. No rewards or anything, just a fun game to laugh at each other's attempts and screenshots.

Tried to make a house with stairs. Got fed up after 2 minutes. 10/10 would carve again.
I tried to make a pipe and then Hammer crashed
You sick fuck. Those brushes did nothing to you. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Seriously though, bonus points if it actually compiles.
Ladies and gentlemen today I present to you the finest map in all of Hammers History...

Reminds me of this cringe worthy video where this kid thinks it's a legitimate technique to use carve tool to create uneven terrain.

Seems innocent enough...

Oh god, what have I created!
Decided to try this out while on my lunch break. Forgot HDR (damnit) but yeah here's my go. Sorry. Forgot to carve the skybox. [video=youtube;4A2RSWfrSzE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A2RSWfrSzE[/video]

This video got me [i]really[/i] into Röyksopp and Deadmau5 over 4 years ago and for that alone I appreciate it.
So just to be sure we start with a 1024-unit cube and carve it with whatever primitives we want? Alright. Gimme a sec.

I laughed so hard I cried. . .
Honestly I don't care what the fuck you make, just let your minds run wild.
today I learned sometimes carve simply WON'T carve a brush no matter what. Luckily the delete key isn't explicitly a Hammer tool...
edit: fuck it, I'm done. Here's a screenshot:

It looks like the top-down view of a city.

I know jephir and he's actually a fucking awesome mapper.
The video is satire, trust me.

I remember I dicked around in Unreal Editor like 10-12 years ago and you had to 'carve' out stuff with it.
At least... that's how I did it. That reminds me a lot of an Unreal map.

"I will be releasing my first map using carve as soon as I fix leak error" - some random kid, 2009
My guess is that he is still trying to fix leaks. I cringed when I saw he made a 15k by 14k brush. Why are kids so fascinated with creating 10 trillion mile wide flat plains?
Pretty sure it's a joke like Empty_Shadow said. :v:
Should not be too hard. Carve tool is pretty useful as long as you do not abuse it and do not try making more than simple shapes. Doing a simple room with columns on it should not be too hard.

Warlock?
Well managed to carve some roofing and a door.

[QUOTE=SickBow;46877246]Warlock?[/QUOTE]
Yep. Was looking for pictures of Wizard from H1 but Warlock was the only top-down map I could find.
Also, it hurts my head trying to map something inside-out. Maybe next time I should try making a "mold" of the gaps in my level and carving the block once with that...buuut I suspect that might be cheating

I boxed my carvecube with the skybox texture but it refused to compile...
So, I halved the amount, reboxed it, and added a light_environment
[img]http://i.imgur.com/iJbQaoi.png[/img]
Compile time!
[img]http://i.imgur.com/5yTfsAW.png[/img]
Didn't actually take all that long to compile, and the results were pretty trippy looking.

I violated the rules, sure, but I did make a neat piece of abstract art!

The uncanny valley rings true with this map. (Rate me dumb, it's my fetish.)
At least it is smiling.
this makes me warm and fuzzy on the inside
Whoops...
[IMG]http://puu.sh/etCTb/0b3d41cb8a.png[/IMG]
It crashed after an hour.
