Welcome aboard jay! I've added you to the list in the first post. Best of luck!

 

That's 8 so far. This is turning out to be one large contest.

Welcome aboard - but not nearly large enough! :) Hopefully people will keep coming, and I suspect the fun part will start soon, when people get a bit more advanced on the geometry part and come back here to discuss how to add some interesting stuff to the missions.

Had a final (3rd) interview for a great (by poor-people standards) job today as a satellite dish installer, it went very very well. I'm thinking I'll be able to announce my entry into the contest in the next week if it turns out as i hope.

Good man, and good luck with the job.

I wonder if someone agrees to do look over my map when I'm done with the basic brush building. I would do the exchange and discussions via PM, because it wouldn't make sense to upload it for everyone to see already (guess that would reduce the fun because of the "oh I have seen this all before during beta" - effect).

 

Guess I'll finish the brush work over christmas / new year and just want someone to have a look over it before I do the lightning, entities, etc....

 

Hope that's not asked too much. :blush:

Hehe, you're new to the forums but yet warning me about Shadowhide :laugh: I think it's enough to send it to only one user for review. So in that case the first one wins. But maybe two opinions are better. So why not sending it to both..? Hm we'll see - I'm curious anyway :blush:

Heh, I really need to start working on my map again.. Christmas/AC:Revelations/R.U.S.E/MWLL/C&C3 has been taking too much of my time lately

It's x-mas pause - just chill and you'll still get ready until next year ;)

Half an hour to an hour a day should get most of the geometry done by the time the contest is nearing the final few weeks... (hopefully)

Isn't it a bit early to say that? :D

 

Maybe unless a miracle happens, but I've just got this dejected feeling right now that either I wont be able to find employment in time before rent money runs out (which is not long), or will never escape the indentured servitude machine of corporate shitheads that pay a pittance for the privelige of helping them further fuck the rest of my fellow Americans up the ass. The system is designed to repress me from advancing myself, and does a really good fucking job. Hell, I already have an A.A.S degree, for all the shit-ton of help that's given me to tread fuckin water. Doesn't help that there's thousands of local competitors all trying to climb out of the poverty pit at the same time. *sigh*, some days, I just don't know...

Build a great FM, get involved by EA Games, build Thief 4 maps, get money. It's that easy! Buck up, ungoliant! :laugh:

Regarding the importance of concept drawings before actual mapping, I thought I should share some of my own here, and assure anyone feeling the same that I am utterly unable to create anything directly on a computer, I find that it takes me a LOT more time to come up with stuff on the fly, and they generally lack any sense of direction, simply because there was no planning. I would again suggest anyone having trouble creating shape like that to take some time to sketch your ideas freely on a piece of paper, it gets much easier then to register, by trial and error, that feeling you wanted; putting it into DR afterwards is a much simpler and faster task. At least, thats how it always work for me.

I like the concept drawings. :) Mine are cruder, but I also make them.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

      Sorry for not being around enough lately. I am extremely busy at the moment. We are trying to build a home and the German bureaucracy is killing me! Meanwhile, child number 2 is underway. 🙂

      Yo TDMers.
      It has been a while.  This past year or so I have encountered some tough family issues, became a grandfather, had a job change, and then Steam offered Dishonored and Dishonored 2 along with all DLC for like 5 dollars.  So... have played that.  What a game; highly recommend.
      I am looking to resume TDM activity soon.
