The map has been released! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dBAag.jpg[/IMG] [URL]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/97440902/ch_threed_b1.zip[/URL] [QUOTE]Basically, Ch_threed is a work in progress map of mine for the Ultimate Chimera Hunt ([URL]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=977183[/URL]) gamemode, I decided to work on it since it isn't as popular as it used to be so I'm hoping that a new, fun map would breathe new life into it. The map is based on the town Threed from the game Earthbound, you can see it for yourself here: [URL]http://www.snesmaps.com/maps/EarthBound/EarthboundMapThreedBG.png[/URL] I decided to choose Threed since I loved the eeriness of ch_laboratory and ch_happyhappy, and the openness of ch_tazmily, so think of this as those maps thrown into a blender. The map is mostly made out of brushes, but I know how to model so certain areas will use models for decoration, you can see in one of the screenshots below there is a bland white circus tent: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qGbDf.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/6GIif.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Huuqy.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YTlgu.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/o4xGn.png[/IMG] It's a placeholder for now until I can get around to finishing the model, It would be a terrible idea to make it out of brushes. You can notice that there's a ghost wandering around in the screenshots, it's supposed to represent the Zombie Possessor (an enemy from Earthbound) At the moment it uses the ghost model from Team Fortress 2, but eventually I'll make my own model (similar to the sprite below) for it once everything else is done. [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/earthbound/images/b/b8/Zombie_Possessor_Battle.png[/IMG] It kills anything that gets in it's way, and moves through easily campable areas to keep the game moving. Additionally the Threed theme from Earthbound plays in the background accompanied with ambient noises similar to those in Ravenholm, it adds a nice touch. I'll post screenshots of new progress every now and then, comments, suggestions and criticism are appreciated![/QUOTE]

This looks pretty cool, would be nice to have something other than that one buggy mother map for chimera hunt.

[QUOTE=YourFriendJoe;36523210]This looks pretty cool, would be nice to have something other than that one buggy mother map for chimera hunt.[/QUOTE] What map is that? There are multiple maps for the gamemode out there, so I'm curious. EDIT: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MQGQb.png[/IMG]

2 weeks after I start an Onett map, you start a Threed map. Mine's not UCH at the moment, but I could probably make it into one if I wanted to. Looks awesome so far.

your map's coming out as serene more than eerie to me. probably because of the skybox and the whole TF2 art style.

I managed to get around to working on the map again, here's Mach Pizza and the drug store: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2S0zs.png[/IMG] I love how the mach pizza sign turned out, but I'm not so sure about the drug store's, though.

You know, the two alternating colors on the sign and in that order. That, or just do it the same style as the Mach Pizza sign.

I managed to get around to finishing the circus model, it looks pretty good in my opinion!

Assuming you have VTFEdit installed, you can open the vtf files for the skybox (night01lf, night01rt, night01bk,night01_hdrbk, night01_hdrlf ect...) whatever the name is, and tick the clamp s and clamp t. That will stop your skybox from tiling.

Welcome to Threed! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gbejr.png[/IMG] Most of the buildings have been done now.

The map is almost done! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FXWdJ.png[/IMG] I've started making models for objects such as signs: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IChUN.png[/IMG]
