"What are models?" - A Model-less Mapping Competition POLL - Developers

[IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/Jpp4P1.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]dm_goji_b6[/U][/B] Pros: Very proficient layout, definitely gives a nostalgic feel reminding me of HL:DM. Custom materials were very fitting. Cons: Cubemaps were not built properly.

The brushwork is very well defined, the citadel-like structure at the bottom looked really nice. Cons: Cubemaps were not built properly (Things were a little shiny.) The map itself is a little small because you submitted your map so early. Time could've been taken to make it bigger.

Cons: Wasn't pakratted properly. (Missing materials) Very small, [U]wish you could've done more with this.[/U] [url]https://dl.dropbox.com/s/hl1ajtbzvjysvjg/dev_nomodel_contest.bsp?dl=1[/url] [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/d1wKXY.jpg[/IMG] [B][U]halifat[/U][/B] Pros: It's colorful. Cons: Strange lighting issues in different corners of the map. Decal at the entrance was pixelated. Map was very, very small. [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32420204/halifat.bsp[/url]

I don't think it'd feel right voting anything but "eye for an eye" best when it comes to actual brushwork. [editline]28th January 2013[/editline] not to imply a map isn't the sum of all it's parts, just saying in the light that this is a brushwork-only competition.

I followed this competition from start to finish, and I feel that the contestants should've been given more time to work on their submissions. Regardless, I'll go over the four maps tomorrow and give out my vote.

god damnit. I didn't have time to check the pack, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I am planning on continuing it for gmod or maybe trying my hand at a csgo map. ( I can try to fix the pack if you want, but thats technically a late map :( up to you from what I can tell its just one texture the glass, and another surprise one..) EDIT: This is the packed one if anyone cares/if its allowed, if knightvista doesn't want it up I'll take it down, [URL="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/hyifsqw1w0i4erx/dev_spaaaaaaaaaace.bsp?dl=1"]here[/URL]

How about listing the creators with the maps?

[QUOTE=Stiffy360;39397154]How about listing the creators with the maps?[/QUOTE] I don't want any favoritism going on. I'll post the creators at the end of the poll.

There were tons of people who were extremely close to submitting their maps. I would've voted for the Mirror's Edge one above anything else on the list. But whatever, guess I'll just roll with it. [editline]28th January 2013[/editline] Also, it's kind of weird that you told us the pros and cons about the maps. I'd like to see the errors for myself in that "nostalgic" HL2DM one. I can hardly vote for it based on one picture.

I can send you a link to a dev-textured version, we are keeping the textures for another project, once that's done I'll release that texture pack. Also the cubemaps aren't packed at all due to PackBSP not working at that time. [editline]29th January 2013[/editline] Actually screw it, I'll just release the textures later. Here's the packed map: [url]www.azhosting.org/DL/dm_goji_b6p.rar[/url] for anyone that wants to test it.

Shame i missed the deadline with my submissions

Voted. Good luck to everyone!

Question: may the winner ask for an alternate prize that also costs exactly ten bucks? Like, for instance, Day of Defeat: Source on Steam?

Nope. $10 pay pal is all.

Alright c: I [B]really[/B] didn't expect to win first place. Huh. To be honest I consider my own submission to be the worst of the four. Well mapped, everyone, great job! See you in another competition! <3

Since the poll has been closed, I assume this is over? If so, congrats to Kahgarak!

Kahgarak, I will send you $10 on PayPal sometime tonight. Maspe36, I will send you $5 on PayPal ^^^^^^^^^^ [editline]30th January 2013[/editline] PM me your PayPal account names

Thanks for holding the contest, really enjoyed working on it! Hope you host more in the near future!

[QUOTE=Maspe36;39415659]Hope you host more in the near future![/QUOTE] Agreed!

Congrats to the winners!
