[GunZ Map Contest] + Republic Airship

[Zanoken]

This is what I sent to IJJI.

Short Background: Huge twin royal republic battle airships designed by a genius inventor in the republic army, created and build by the elite republic engineers. They're each designed to harbor more than 2000 people and many republic prospects live in it. The ships main cannon's power is said to be powerful enough to destroy entire buildings. The two ships were ordered to be linked by one of the Republic's leader whims because he wanted to intimidate other countries.

Guide: There are no textures for it yet. Its' original design is meant for wood textures, but can be switched to metal/steel if this thing gets nominated and wins. Some small details and added objects are expected to be done by Maiet if need be. It's designed to be good for sniping and great open areas for k-style.

Notes:
1. Wall climb allowed on sides of ship.
2. Under ship = death/hell.
3. The blimp's print pattern was meant to be pentagon, but doesn't matter.
4. The space is meant to be huge with plenty of places to fight and snipe.
5. Wood textures/design. Basically the same texture are the broken ship in island, only a little more richer color and more variety because it's big map.
6. The ship is flying over a desert... Easy texture or just fog.
7. The ship's walls are high in most areas so not too easy to be cheap and only flip.
8. There are 5 levels. The lower deck and dojo, the main connecting bridge level, the top upper royal room level and stairs level, the weapons/bottom level (room with huge cannon balls), and the top bridge walking platform for sniping.

Bear with me, I only had a week and it's my first time using graphics program, so I made a mistake on bottom of ships and didn't get to complete some stuff, but it came out ok enough. Design was done in Google Sketchup. Email me if the file is needed the file.

Pics + Video shows the general concept.

I might not ever finish it and add textures, I already wasted many hours in 2 weeks time learning that program.

Oh man pro, I c a winnar. This map seems a bit too big though.

[Zanoken]

I don't think so. Dungeon is supposed to be a large map but with dashing you can get around it fast. Dungeon has a lot of obstacles and paths that make it seem longer, but if you could dash straight across it it wouldn't take long. This map has open space to dash across, and with flying and wall climbing you can get around easy.

Woah... I see a lot of hard work.

[Zanoken]

Not really, most of the time was spent learning the program. I already knew what I wanted. Google Sketchup made it take a few weeks instead of a few hours. The program is easy tho.

The only prob i see is the ladders, the other stuff is super easy to model in 3dsmax

Wow, this is very impressive. I would love to see this added into the game, nice work.

Ladders would be useless though. As I mentioned in another thread, that would probably involve them doing some form of work to make a new animation. In fact, climbing a ladder would actually involve inventing at least six new animations, as well as altering game mechanics to decide when a person gets on/off the ladder, how they can get off in the middle of climbing, etc. So I wouldn't expect those to actually work. Nevertheless, this looks fun.

[kissmydi*]

very impressive

[Scuba]

wow o.o

i'd actually consider playing that map

[Trageta]

l0l Shadow and I use sketchup. I use it for my 3d Modeling class - I guess he'll be using it soon since he's a youngin but he's pretty bright. We be going Texas architecture lawl.

[[Aplus]Minus]

Nice map, I'd play on it.

Wow i hope this win's i wanna play dis map looks pro dm and tdm exspecily on saturday with beserker.
