Finish a new model/mesh? Got something you're working on? Finish a new map? Here's the place to post it for feedback and whatnot.

should i continue making this into a map?

Post by gecko753 »

ive got a few scenes that i have worked on with the intention of making a map out of them.. but i was just wondering if anyone would play them anyways.

right when i got 3ds max 7 for xmas, i started modelling random things in my room and ended up w/ this:

now i know that it has been done, and that map was pretty good. but i was hoping that mine might end up with some new things that would make playing it more interesting. but would anyone be interested in playing it if i were to finish it?

another.. well never really got anywhere. i was thinking of getting hangemhigh, then redoing the lighting and make it at night. then i thought that i could add a lava flow or something in the middle lowered section and have that radiate light. yea didnt work out so great. but the night thing is still up in the air. but heres what ive got so far:
Image
not completely textured, but very close. its just about the right scale, and ive got it into halo w/ the weapons in the right places. if no1 wants me to make this.. i might just post the .max file for others to use.

thats all i have to post for now. most of my other maps are just tests for different things. one is just to see if the plugin greeble would work for creating buildings. its not great btw. maybe only for background buildings that arent collideable.

so.. any1 see anything promising w/ those maps?

Seems like you are doing good so far with 3ds max 7, unlike me. I still have no clue 'bout it whateverso, lol. I would recommend you to keep doing whatever you are doing, keep the ideas flowing, think 'bout maps 24/7 in school or whatever, I'm sure you will come up with a brillant idea for map then you can work on it. Sure, you can put whatever you want, but please don't release it until you are absolutely sure everything is done, textured. Although it may be longer than you think, in the end, you will feel the satisfying knowing you did everything you could. Because right now, we have many crappy unfinished maps and people keep releasing the new version of that. Nobody want that. Alright? =)

exactly. check out all the stuff in progress, like yoyorast island, last stand, etc. they are non-linear, very dynamic levels. they have undergone major revisions, etc, and have had a lot of thought put into them. personally i like the hang 'em high map idea. not too sure about the room, however. it needs a lot more put into it. keep it up and work hard, and you'll be satisfied in the end.
