Howdy,

That'd be me. Head on over to http://www.geocities.com/duprethemapper/ for some screenshots. Work is still in progress on the interior.. I just finished the CIC and two adjacent rooms, but RL has taken a chunk of my time away recently. I couldn't even begin to think up a release date. So sit tight and I'll keep at it.

Regards..

Looking very cool!!

I don't know how you're handling the water now, but I recommend that you make it the kind you sink into and die instead of the kind you can swim in. You wouldn't want snipers swimming out into the ocean and taking potshots at people on board.

Dupre,

What an awsome looking map! The scale and detail is amazing. Take your time, but keep at this map. I've compared the pics of BadKarma's "USS Missouri" map to yours and I hate to say it but your's beat the hell out of Pat's so far. The number and placement of the 50 cals will make for some awsome choke points as long you make routs around them throught the superstructure so that play doesnt bog down too much. (Don't critics just chaff your ass!?!)
As an original native of Bergen County I have to appreciate your choice of subject as well.

Keep it up dude your doing great!

Dupre - That map is sweet. Any chance we'll be seeing this in the beta maps section?

There's a very good chance of that.

The schedule is as follows for the map:

1. getting the basic map layout done (brushes mainly)
2. interactives (bot pathnodes, items, and triggerable things)
3. texturing & lighting

I figure after step 1, the first beta will be released for people to test and comment on.

I can't be bothered looking for a render, but I did a 3D USS Missouri a while back. Turned out better then I could have dreamed. Looked great. Someone once asked me to import the model into UEd so it could be made a map. Unfortunately I didn't have a poly count in mind when I modelled it and it's somewhere around the 300,000 poly mark. Maybe in Unreal Warfare. ;)

That's a pretty tight model. I'm doing the same thing for my map using a plastic 1:350 scale model and a ruler, although the level of detail isn't anywhere close to 300,000 polys. I noticed your's is a pre-1950's era version with the aft observation plane catapults and crane. Nice.

Yep, the good old original loadout. The pic I posted doesn't begin to show the detail I used. It's got small .50 cal MGs all over it, stairs around the sides, etc. It's EXACTLY like the scale model I have to the tinniest bump. If someone wants I can post some zoomed in shots.

BTW there's lots of tut's at www.3dcafe.com.

Dupre Please respond

Ok this may just sound like I'm trying to get map early but please continue to read. I'm currently working at PPPL(Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory) which is a Department of Enegry Lab in the visualization lab. Tomorrow(June 19, 2001) someone high up is coming and we are going to be "showing off" the display wall(runs UT at 4800x3200) and want a really nice map to show. Since the lab is in New Jersey me and some of the other members of the visualization lab staff want to know if we could have copy to fly around to show. Again I know this sounds like I'm just trying to get the map early but I can only say that I'm not, so if you could either mail me a link or the map it would be appreciated, and if not I fully understand. So if yes send to mpaglior@pppl.gov
