Its too hard to choose between trey, tera, and ritz. My god, I never knew we had so many talented map makers.
I'm not sure who's I like better.
Ritz has a unique theme to it, and is very visually pleasing with all the custom textures and models.
Where as.
Tera's seems to fit the TF2 theme better, and is far more... cozy? familiar? there's just something about it that makes it very pleasing.
I love Ritz waterfall and some of his other stunning visuals, however there are also some visuals I think just stands out in a bad way...
Tera's entry doesn't stand out much...
That's a good thing as it fits the theme very well, but at the same time it's a bad thing since it doesn't feel very unique.
It doesn't have that special iconic part that players will remember the map for.
[QUOTE=TerabyteS;24009771]Here's the BLU spawn, I think it's almost finalised (my only doubts are with the lighting)

C&C? :D[/QUOTE]
It's look pretty nice, but what's up with that ladder up there? It feels out of place.
Has anyone actually played the map yet? I really hope alternative versions of that map enter server rotation sets, but it would suck if the map was bad gameplay-wise.

What could it be? (I'm asking everyone)
[QUOTE=TerabyteS;24009771]C&C? :D[/QUOTE]
Too many beams and angles.
Also don't care for the ceiling texture.
I threw together a new ground texture, what do you think?

It's so pretty it hurts.

Looks awesome, very smooth.
Thanks
Looks a little over-detailed.
Here are some new images

I replaced the detail sprites with the granary ones, but I'm not sure yet, because of the flowers. They look a bit out of place.
I hope you like it
Sprites are too thick, way too many of them.
The new awesome birch trees by Acumen :3
Can't thank you enough!

EDIT: I realised i forgot to show some stuff
I've bluified the spawn more, removed a few trusses and now it looks cleaner

Changed some textures on the outside aswell

And here's a tiny lonely birch :D

Not liking that tree at all, Terabytes. Too much contrast between the light and dark. There are also [I]slightly[/I] too many flower sprites.

Looking nice, but I think it the water would look better if it went faster and if there were some splash particles where the water lands.
I agree, the trees have WAY too much contrast. It draws too much attention to them and makes them look pixelated.
[QUOTE=Political Gamer;24011608]It plays like a bad version of Gorge.[/QUOTE]
Personally, I hate Gorge, so if you say that, I most likely wouldn't like this map.

And the bright colors make them stick out way too much.
So many great maps. It's so unfortunate that only one can win.
But hey! How about we do a server with the best maps, when the contest is over?

Totally hope this happens
I've started working on A. I want it to be completely made out of ground.

And bigger birch trees, thanks again Acumen :D

What do you think about the new theme? Is it good?
Love this theme, looks like a good atmosphere, with the sunset and all. :dance:
Birch trees? Damn, Tera, you really ARE doing my theme but better :saddowns:
[editline]09:09AM[/editline]
Jesus, it's amazing...
The thing that impresses me the most about it is that I've just changed 1 texture and changed the trees, and it looks radically different and (probably) better
Here's what I came up with for A:

Theres a problem with it tho, it's not very visible from here? What do you think?

Also detailed the interior of the building out of spawn a bit more.
