Thanks for the tips and feedback, I'll post more when I get time. It's sunbathing weather here for once (Scotland) so I'm trying to make the most of it 
About the polys, I'm not sure. Last time I looked it was sitting at about 400 or so. I've only really detailed the front of the car, the rest is just a basic shape.
Well I finally took the plunge and actually sunk a bit of time into max (watched a few tuts etc) and then started this model after watching a car tutorial from 3dpalace (nice tuts there to get me started, the one I watched was "Modeling an Audi" or similar).
My main question right now is when do I need to split up faces? Like, say I cut into a face using the vertex cut tool to create a hole for the headlight, it leaves a hole in the polygon, but there is only one edge connecting the hole to the rest of the adjacent edges/polys. When should I add extra edges and when should I just leave it as is? If I'm not explaining this very well, just tell me. Anyway.. I'm quite pleased with this thus far considering the blueprints don't line up correctly and I can't find any decent images of the particular model (this one has a strange grille amongst other things that aren't evident in most mustang pics).

Also, how in God's name do I get rid of the material I accidentally applied to the car? D: Cheers

Very nice texture useage and lighting, I love it 
Corridor ahoy! 
When I read "Doom3 experience is a plus" I wondered what the hell they would list that for alongside Unreal2 experience. Then out of sheer chance I stumbled across this link whilst searching for the old 3d realms game "prey". It seems they've (very) quietly revived prey, and it's running on the Doom3 engine. It'd be funny if both prey & duke nukem forever were released at roughly the same time... vapourware to smash hits? Let's wait and see
If you wish to see a great example of symmetrical maps that are 'different', check out Matt "Hellface" Armstrong's Darkness series for TFC. Each base has a different feel. Considering the map is like.. 5-6 years old and on a crappy engine, he did a great job with it. I've rarely seen the same thing done since. The only downside is that due to the vast differences in texturing and the slight differences in architecture, one team does gain an advantage.
You guys are being a bit harsh. After all, whoever the lucky applicant is will have a job for life. They might not get to work on a shipped product, but hey!
It'd be awesome if you could be on voicecomms (ventrillo or your preferred choice) while trying out ideas and details, constantly discussing things. I'd love it.
Hot Fuss is pretty damn good.
I think this might be better if you posted it in the engine discussion forum (someone correct me if I'm wrong )
Hey by the way, skdr, did you ever make a final release of scorpius? God damn I love the look of that map.

Jeez Nexus, can you please take FF out of your sig, you make it look like you're affiliated with us. Whether this is your intention or not, I don't know.
*edit - Thank you
Glad it's back!
With all due respect: Those hunted screenshots don't really do it justice. It looks superb ingame I'm rather surprised at the muted reaction to it -- it's probably my favourite piece of mapping that any of our guys has created thus far. I guess you'll just have to wait for us to update the site to try and change your mind
One of my fellow mapcore denizens needs to hit a talented animator over the head and drag him into my Fortress Forever cave of doom. We really do require a talented animator and they seem rather tough to come by.
Invest in a good quality leather PC chair if you can afford it; your back will thank you for it in the long run.
Heh, wait 'til you guys see what Jon & Jesse have done with hunted. Makes me want to do a sex wee when I see the pics.
We're still recruiting a texture artist, character skinner and animators, by the way.
Beta testing details will be announced when we hit beta.
