Hey all.. I caught wind of the 72hr Jam late last week. Though its been quite some time since I was active playing TF2 let alone mapping I have taken the day off work Monday (Australian time) to enter into the mix. That said its been about 3 years since I opened Hammer, let alone 3DS max..
Its possible that some of you may remember a project I put together where I mirrored some of the more popular Valve maps at the time -
http://tf2maps.net/downloads/mirrored-maps-series-1.284/ and
http://tf2maps.net/downloads/mirrored-maps-series-2.286/
What Im planning is to produce a new mirrored map in about the final 18hours of the jam..
Is that something people would be interested in? Is producing a new mirrored map within the rules of the jam?
At this stage I am planning to produce a mirrored version of pl_upward but am open to suggestions if there is a more popular map that I should choose but it would have to be an official Valve map and not the work of a community mapper.
Looking at the map I know there is at least a couple of props that will need to be flipped in a 3D modeling program.. seeing as I dont have max installed and or the required plugins is there perhaps someone out there that might be willing to help me out with that? From experience I would suggest that it would be only 2 or 3 models at most.
I've also never done any streaming before but am willing to give it a go it its worthwhile.. perhaps a pm with some pro tips on setting it up would be appreciated from someone as well.. I assume I just need an account on Twitch and Ill post a link here?
