Not a screenshot but a trailer Worked on this 6 months ago when I was still in school. Wanted to make a full custom game with 6 people that had no or little experience with UDK.

I have worked on the first map VolcanoIsland.

Game features 3 classes, bomb planting/defusing and more!

looks pretty awesome tbh, great thing to have on your portfolio.

Anyone else having problems getting the unreal maps to play ingame? Also are any of the Source maps setup for bots?

Does unique design not come under visual. I would certainly consider it to.

Would have thought brushwork is for technical ability and how difficult something is to construct, hence why I voted Reno. (besides, Reno's to me has as much an original design as shard)

I like the idea of those challenges. I didn't spend huge amounts of time on this challenge but it did motivate me to learn geometry tools and the material editor in unreal (even though the map I submitted didn't make use geometry tool and minimal use of custom textures, another map i was working on did).

Future comps sounds good, as long as they are well space apart, ie not every month and have plenty of warning/long deadlines as lot of us obviously have active lives.

Well time to open up some discussion

Out of all the categories I think this is a hard one to vote on, as on face value it's hard to see the actual complexity of the brushes used to create these maps. I think im gunna open up skysilcox's map in UT3 editor and have a look, as that looks fairly complex. Lunaran's also looks quite complex. I however can see 6 that won't be getting my vote (including my own).

DM-Crystal

The final map I decided upon, I wanted to make several extra changes to the brushes, but don't really have the time.

Brush count: 21 (no idea where or what Brush_O is. Also has GravityVolume and KillVolume)

Tested with AI, seems to work pretty well. Custom texture.

(Deleted 3 brushes to give better view of layout.

48 hours seems ok.

As far as my map is going, layout is in and good but am struggling to get the effect I want from my textures and lighting. Hopefully I can get it done in time though.

That's anooying not gunna be able to submit it, was gunna spend tomorrow (sunday) finishing it up, and im going to bed now. Nvm.

in unreal do emissive textures ignore all other properties?

Im trying to make a see through slightly glowing texture but am having trouble getting the results I want.

im just trying to get my single texture im making to work, then im basically done. But other things have kinda taken priority over this comp unfortunately.

So im taking new screengrabs of my work, what would people say makes a good design screenshot? Keep in mind these are interior locations mainly with ceilings at about 4 meters.

I'm replaying Dungeon Keeper right now. Ah, the pleasures of having a Horned Reaper completely trashing your dungeon when he's angry. :derp:

Are you gunna be getting dungeons? That new game thats basically a spiritual successor to DK?

Im definitely tempted, might wait for it to drop a tenner first though.

yeah but if im doing that I would rather not have a 3 week deadline

So I started making a ctf map inspired by that Quake 3 arena space one. Then I realised whats the point, theres no bonus points for making a CTF map and theres no points for how well it plays. So a DM map that looks nice is the obvious route.

I cant figure out for what engine though.

looks pretty cool to me.

cone brush then extruded the top face 2x and then vertex manipulation.

Had to select the top level of verticies then tried to centre the pivot, but that placed it totally wrong, so had to snap pivot to grid on Front and side cameras then scale to ensure the verts stay in line with the centre of the diamond

finally managed to make a diamond and boy was it a pain in the arse.

ok, how do I make a diamond shaped brush in unreal? Ive tried but it keeps causing UT3 editor to crash.

Quote from Sentura

displacements do not take up more memory or lessen peformance worse than brushes, so it should be a no brainer.

yeah.

Just make sure you place nodraw brushes to match the general terrain to ensure culling.
