Wow, well done! I'm going to try drawing this tonight. I'm not going to do perspective over their shoulders because I can't draw people =(. Anyone else have any other cool ideas they want to share?

Hey friends! I'm trying to improve my drawing and idea implementation skills, what are some map themes and map ideas you've had or think are cool? Doesn't matter how complete they are, how obscure, or how seemingly impossible. Bonus points if you include reference photos. If I draw something, I'll post it and you can tell me how close it is to what you imagined and critique my implementation. Thanks! TwinHits

@@exonimus Can you add me to the end of the schedule please to finish up the gold room? I plan to finish the penthouse inside, rough it up quite a bit, and remove extra textures. I also plan to change/solve the high up windows problem. When I made them, I knew this would be a problem and it's my fault for not pointing out my plans. When my turn comes around again, I will either remove them or build something outside the windows that solves the problem.

I'll let you know.

@@exonimus Preparing to transport to @@MagSul. I'm not done yet, but I have boxed out the space that I need and put it on the map. Future mappers, feel free to attach it to any spot you feel like. When I finish my portion, I'll contact the mapper and organize a switcheroo of the parts. If any mapper feels like making a change or adding to my part, feel free! Just PM me with shots and we'll coordinate. EDIT: I've PMed MagSul. Sorry for the silence! My life took an unexpected turn and this took a backseat, I do intend to finish my portion! Luckily, I chose a somewhat out of the way area! Also, I may have overdone it on the textures (7 megs) I will tone that down.

Currently no, I'm trying to figure out the penthouse room itself. The trick is making it an interesting dueling area as well as look good and fit the theme.

I almost did!

@Szico VII Light sources are coming! I promise, they are just going to be .ase models. A lot of the Cyberpunk part of the map is going to be .ase models I haven't made yet, but just doodles on my meeting notes. @@MoonDog I'm really going back and forth on how broken I should make the map. It's something that I've done a lot before. Right now, I'm in the camp of instead of making things broken via brushes, making them disused and worn down by texture and lighting. Creating kinda an eerie feeling somewhere between "No one is here right now" and "No one has ever been here". When lighting is done, the question is going to be whether or not that comes across. I also would love to break up the carpet, but no ideas have come to me yet nor have I gotten anything from my reference photos, but I'm still working on it! @@MUG @@MagSul http://xkcd.com/37/

Here's my progress thus far: Next I will be doing doodads, which is where most of the cyberpunk feel is going to come from. The dystopian part you can't really see, but all the gold is scratched up, like that carpet. While this is the entrance to the penthouse of the most powerful person in the city, it's still not perfect. Can anyone point me towards a good .ase tutorial? My subsequent attempts have failed.

Take your time, our parts don't connect (at least, right now) so you have until the end of my period too!

You are absolutely right, I've gone back and replaced the side rubes, the ceiling arches, and the center doorway tunnel with patches.

Alright, request: I need artwork that can go in picture frames! I need 10-12 or so, so post links to images. They can be of anything as long as they fit in the cyberpunk/dystopian theme. Your own avatar, clan logo, picture of one of your other maps, your mother, I don't care as long as they look remotely like they would fit in the thehe, Below is a picture of what I'm working on so you have an idea of what the room that they are going in looks like:

I agree with night, any skybox recommendations? I would like a city-scape one, either one someone has already made or a new one.

mrwonko's solution worked. Thoughts on time of day? I think it should be night.
