Quote from twizIf you really think a photo you took is good enough to be worth any substantial amount of money... why would you post it anywhere on the internet? I don't find that creepy or invasive or surprising in the least. It seems common sense to me.
Really? What if you post a link to your portfolio on google+, will it become a google property legally? That's what the contract says!

Zyndrome finally finishing a map (and a nice map) is definitely the biggest accomplishment of this challenge 
Glad you guys like it!! 
Quote from EvertSuper duper awesome. Now please send this to every dev-studio so that people in the industry actually follow the unit-rules as well... *sigh*
I hope you are not talking about grin because they were the modular geometry masters of the world!
Hi Everyone,
I've finally finished that tutorial I've been promising since forever: Making modular environments in UDK.
In this tutorial I go over a lot of techniques that I learned when creating Zest Foundation. Although I used UDK for this tutorial the concepts can easily be adapted to other engines.
Let me know if you have any doubts or suggestions for topics that i didn't cover!

":52ave1w0]I want a cooper and norman t-shirt.
Man that would rule, 99% of the people in the world wouldn't understand the joke but a few mapcorians would adore it and that would make me very happy. I don't usually wear caps but I'd gladly wear a Cooper & Norman one too. Would make a nice combination with my mapcore tee
Sentura: The cube/cog logo won't make sense nowadays. This isn't gearbox.core anymore. (they are too good to post on the forums now)
Why 16 colors? The PSP supports even true-color textures afaik (of course you won't use true-color for simple environment textures but the support is there).
Environment looks nice. I think you could take it a bit further color wise though, it looks very flat on this department. Good job on the rock texture, it looks really good!
I can't believe that in 2011 people are still arguing with Sentura 
Good job Sentura!
Quote from EvertI never played through HL1, true story
Last time I tried to complete HL1 I stopped at Xen 
Blue Shit > HL1
Quote from instaCongrats to all entrants, awesome work! Also special congrats to zyndrome, who made a level!
Yup and it looks pretty good from the screenshots!
I'd be the first to buy mapcore swag!!
We could even use the same t-shirt company as polycount >> http://polycount.spreadshirt.com/
I'm still expecting for Dunke Nukem Forever... that piece of shit that I played was definitely not Duke Nukem.
Nice results so far everyone!
I won't be able to participate, been busy this weekend
Why not extend the challenge for an entire week? I can see a lot of drama with people posting half-assed maps because they spent the entire week trying to fix compile errors
The quality bar would definitely raise if we run it for an entire week.
Yup, really nice use of the stock assets
Quote from Senturaeven then you could share the project between yourselves. i am only saying this because it's less bothersome than setting up an svn server and cheaper than buying svn hosting.
Dropbox doesn't have a versioning system (as far as I know), so it's not useful for projects really. One person replaces one file and the whole project goes to hell.
Quote from D3adsUhhh, this is from over a month ago?
It's clearly a bot griefing us again.
Sentura/Taylor: 
Quote from KungFuSquirrelHow many people would be in if we ran that this weekend? We've got 3 so far. (I'll put out a Twitter attendance check when I get home)Gives us some more time to put together the rules for the next big one.
I can't say for sure but I'd try my best!
Quote from SamComFor the weekend challenge, I think I'll steal your idea for a Half-Life 1 deathmatch map using only the Nightwatch texture set? I downloaded it and set up Hammer 3.5 to try them out, and they look pretty sexy for Half-Life textures. I think there's enough there for some cool maps.
