Each player model is just the green cuboid that is used for info_player_start in hammer

I am with plain textures; but i'm against flatshading in general; u cannot understand space without proper lighting; without lights, u cannot understand the volume, the shadows; "l'architecture est le jeu savant et correct des volumes sous la lumiere" as would have said Le Corbusier (i'm too drunk to translate that). Anyway, if u wanna make flatshaded maps, please keep the shadow option on.

I present to you:

Campaignjunkie Gone Insane, Symphony No. 2

No idea what the hell is going on? Don't worry, you're not alone. Didn't really turn out how I wanted it; going to retexture it so people can actually tell where they're going. Decided to do an abstract portion for fun, to contrast with the straight-mechanical areas.

Don't worry people, its actually quite navigatable in game, it really isn't as confusing as the screenshots lead you to believe I do think the entire map should be done with a third colour ala this section, helps give that little extra bit of depth to the scene and makes it less confusing.

why not just have a normal competition, you guys can make flatshaded maps in your spare time and so can i if i ever feel the burning desire to gauge out my eyes.. Then once you guys have perfected your own styles, have a competition. Its like having a competition between "those people" who dont run VIS and RAD because they "take too long" if you run the flat shaded competition now, cos face it, youre all noobs!

Not really, its still the same old mapping we are perfectly familiar with, just with a slightly new approach. I wouldn't say I'm worse in flatshading than I am with fully textured levels...in fact I'd be tempted to say the opposite [addsig]

Kain, you can have shadows and lights on a flat shaded map.Those who have posted examples simply chose not to have these things.

As far I know, flatshading with shadows looks terrible which presubamly is why Reno and Junkie aren't using them. [addsig]

What is "Normal"?

I mean, think about it, we're playing a game with aliens, crazy guass guns, and the like. How could there be a "normal"

This is the [3rd?] mapping contest the snarkpit has had... hardly too many normal contests done on here

I reckon the good 'ol go out with a bang is in order. See who can make the most complex small map on the planet thats so complex it almost kills the engine, but does run. The doom 3 effect

A.S., your reasoning goes for 2d drawings, but not for 3d maps. Just try to render a map without Rad, u'll get lost in it. Worse, u'll think dark textures are "holes", while actually everything is flat. Of course, you could play on that, but I have a feeling a flatshaded contest would be too experimental; it's gonna give birth to unplayable maps.

Rendering my maps with RAD gives identical visuals to rendering without actually, and no, you don't get lost in it whatsoever, its feels just as logical to move around in as any maps I've ever played.



Does it really look that confusing to your eyes? No shadows, but perfectly playable. [addsig]
