Is anyone maintaining a list of content that's had the content creators permission given for anyone to use?

I understand that the swamp pack has had permission granted.. is there more?

I checked the OP but there is no update there.. I read the last few pages of this thread..

Specifically I'm after trees.. but if there was a list of permissin pre given content that would be sweet.

Generally speaking most custom models in the contest are being requested specifically for this contest and subsequently come with such permissions.

Models created prior to this contest will invariably require a personal enquiry to the author about its use. There's simply no 2 ways about it. The swamp pack was an obvious topic of interest and subsequently covered in the contest FAQ.

If you're looking for trees, YM made a bunch of birch trees and Acumen has also produced some wonderful birch trees just recently. So feel free to enquire as to their potential use in the contest.

Can you please specify the procedure for submitting the maps? Do we just put the map file in our contest entry threads as we would a normal map we were showcasing?

Been meaning to ask, are Valve doing anything similar to the Polycount Pins for this contest?

Also, while I think about it, will we need to do the final compile, cubemap build etc?

And no idea if you know the answer to this, but if by chance a swamp map won, but the map didn't contain all the assets from the swamp pack...will Valve gonna be kind and add them all anyway? So rather than having to search your map for all the assets you've used and locating their files, Valve could just download the Swamp pack :3

Valve pay for this stuff, it's not something done out of mere generosity or convinience, they do have business sense (although saying that some of the custom maps officialised have been poor to say the least); i don't see why they would buy the entire swamp pack if it's not used. especially since they didn't buy the pack when it was released which would have made more sense.

Click to expand...

I kinda have tried to include all the swamp assets, but half the materials aren't being used, especialy the skybox materials. Still, I think the whole pack deserves to be included.
