[Competition] Cpt.Hubba's 256 x 256 x 256 box challenge!
88 replies, posted
[CODE]I recently have been seeing these Challenge/Competition posts. Well, I wanted to start one. It's a very simple, but fun challenge if you are up to it.
Challenge: Build a level that is 512 x 512 x 512 using non custom props or textures. You can displacements. You can use whatever other props or entities you want.
I am interested to see what you guys can come up with!
--------------------------------------------------
Rules (If you didn't read the top post):
1. Total grid size must be 512 x 512 x 512 (Length, Width, Height)
2. Default textures and props (no custom textures)
3. Displacements are allowed
4. Be creative!
5. When finished, post your vmf in a pm to me or post it here so I can verify it is within the set size.
--------------------------------------------------
Also, post here if you are going to do it, and I will add your name to a list.
The person with the most creative/most awesome room will receive an unnamed prize (I haven't thought about it yet). The prize will probably be a cheap game off steam! [B]I will be submitting my work, but I will not be part of the competition![/B]
Ready? Set....
GOOOO!!
Current Contestees:

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO SUBMITTED! The result will be posted within a few days to 1 week max! Prize will be a little delayed (see my post on last page).

I'll do it but why no displacements

I meant to change that sorry. YOU NOW CAN DO DISPLACEMENTS MY BAD!!
What would the deadline be for this?
[QUOTE=paulisdead18;37623751]What would the deadline be for this?[/QUOTE]
Soon. Valve time...
Nah.. Um. Idk right now I will think about it. For now, imagine it's finished when Episode 3 is released.
I'll join, but 256 is waaay to small to do anything good. Increase to at least 512 x 512 x 512

-snip- fuck. You are right.
If necessary, it can be smaller. As long as it doesn't go above 512 x 512 by 512, you're good.
By what merit will they be judged? How fun they look? How nice they look? Whether it is something previously unseen? If it's based on function would it be for a specific style of game?
Also is a 3D skybox allowed?

The playable space is 512x512x512 right?
Just to be clear about the 512³ grid, does that include the outer walls, like the following image?

A known deadline would be nice so we know how lazy we can be.
Also what is your intellectual property policy?

Deadline is...October 1st. So make them as awesome as possible and yes, walls and all must equal to 512. As long as your finished product is not something copied, I don't care. You are welcome to look at a pcture and recreate something in that picture, but don't take something from an Eyecandy map and copy it over and say you're done.
[QUOTE]The playable space is 512x512x512 right?[/QUOTE]
Yes.
[Quote]Also, is a 3d skybox allowed[/Quote]
Yes. If it's not in the rules it up for game
Also, I wanted to say that if you're making like a window sill that will stick off the 512 grid by just a little, I'm fine with that, but don't be building out of your limit.
You didn't answer how they will be scored.
i dont like this theme
imo the playable space should be 512x512x512 so you can make a skybox brush like this.

Use your imagination. I'm gonna make an Ice cave.
we really need to have an SP mapping contest
and then have all entries put into a collab
if you ever played any doom 2 mods, "congestion 1024" might sound familiar
one more thing:
playable area is allowed to be 512^3?
so i can "fence out" the "play area" of a larger area?

Oh, and I might make a map too :)
shit, this contest is going to be [I]thight[/I]
also count me in
I'll give it a shot.
Ok ok ok, I see some confusion arising here about what I mean when I say 512 x 512 x 512. I'm sorry about the confusion, I thought I had explained it pretty well, but the floor needs to be 512 x 512 and everything contained in the area of the floor has to fit. Ok now for the walls, I'm fine if you place them on the floor or attach the to the corners. As long as the player is in a 512[SUB]3[/SUB] environment all is good. They will be judged by eyecandiness along with creativity. And please.. POST something telling me you are competing.
[B]There can be a 3d skybox as long as the playable area is 512[SUP]3[/SUP] [/B]

I see what you did there...
Heres an example: Pic is not working here is the link: [url]http://gyazo.com/dff4f2f5232f64d398c43983bd29ea3a[/url]
[IMG]http://gyazo.com/dff4f2f5232f64d398c43983bd29ea3a[/IMG]
As you can see every face is 512 x 512. You can drag them to the corners of each other. Which in turn...means that the whole box is not 512[SUP]3[/SUP], but the playable area INSIDE the box is.

Just to be clear I'm not participating. Not sure why you put me on the list.
I'll join this! Are the "default" props and materials from any source game or just hl2?

Great, now what?
[QUOTE=Stiffy360;37636282]Great, now what?[/QUOTE]
I was thinking the same thing
I really hope I'm not the only one who thinks that the past set of posts made things way more complicated that it needed to be. Also, we really need to be told about scoring, when you're done with your ban that is. I'm not doing it anyway though, but for everyone else, they should probably know what to expect.
k I'm done
