***Control Point mini-contest***

Will playerclips be considered as part of the judging? For example, playerclipping a ledge that (in a full map) would be clipped to keep players from getting somewhere they shouldn't. I'm guessing this is a balance question, which would only function in regards to a full map, rather than a partial.

This contest is all about detailing e.g. making it look good so no

so here goes another question.
this may be the situation of a friend of mine
would that be bad if the origins of the rock models are not within the boundary place. thing is, there's 2 windows in front of each rock model which the player can look through and see the rock models. i'm asking because grazr posted his image and said something about the origin placement. and since recompiling and replacing the origins wouldn't be ok since its valve models and not mine, i'd have a little big problem

 

[YM]

Yes. The origin of ANY prop MUST be inside the boundaries. so what you've pictured is not allowed

 

[Acumen]

urks, thanks for clarifying the first point ;(

but the skybox going over the boundaries would be ok ?

 

[grazr]

the skybox can be expanded for the purposes of taking screenshots from outside the boundaries (since water, particle effects and often props fade out).

does this need to be a full map or just the control point?

Very much just the control point. Nothing at all has to be functional, 100% aesthetics

 

[patrickmapper]

Cool, I'm new to mapping but I'll try my best. ^^

Oh man, is this thing finished already?! I'm only halfway through! I might as well submit anyway.

you still have a whole 7 days, don't get ahead of yourself too much

 

[BrainZ]

I might try something.

eerieone is not the only one who uses HDR. I think most people did; Icarus, me, ..?

You can easily do it by clicking on "Expert" in your compile window and selecting HDR Full Compile (HDR included) i think.

okok,

does this mean, i can recompile rescaled valve rock models ? cause they might fit in the map if scaled a bit

It's 6:40 AM, Saturday, December 19th and I hope can still at least try and enter this. Prizes mean nothing, I want to throw something out to show everyone! And I'm still only a beginner but I want to get to detailing something too.

From what i understand, you can, as its all your and valves work, thats exactly what is written there.
