I have the sudden urge to get into 3D Modelling.
AND THAT'S JUST 25% OF IT.

im going to go home. and stay infront of my computer with blender and not get up until ive built 20 tf2 weapons.
Mixed feelings on this news.
On one hand, I bought the Polycount pack specifically to support the modelers since I know full well how thankless that sort of work can be (especially UV mapping), so I'm really pleased that they're being compensated. And wow, are they ever! There are inhouse modelers at a lot of game studios who don't get that much as their yearly salary.
On the other hand, now there's going to be a freaking flood of absolute junk pouring into the contribution site, meaning the quality stuff is going to get buried.

Make hats, Get paid, Fuck bitches
Also why are people suddenly going "omg map making is worthless now"
You people were really in it just for for the money? If anything getting your map official should be a plus, not the goal.

This.
But I can see where you're coming from if you already have something official. I'd be pretty butthurt if I got $3000 for a map (that I'd spent months on), and then some bloke came with a model (a few hours to a weeks work) and got >$40,000. I would.

Not saying I am in mapping just for the money... ...it is about the amount of work.
And I am not going to get any of my maps official any time soon, so money is not a goal for me.
Maybe Valve should make possible to put maps to contribute system. Then you could get the maps from random drops or if you want you could buy them! LET US SEND THIS IDEA TO VALVE
