[legacy-Devastation 8]

I just found out that BadKarma is working on a new map - CTF-TwoTowers. Like you see from it's name, it'll be based on the second ep of LOTR. He wrote in UTBuilder:

I had a few ups and downs over the last few weeks, and so I decided at the weekend to just get back to some basic mapping. so here are some pics of a map a whipped up at the weekend.

its loosely based on the two towers film, (this is going to be the biggest film trilogy of all time) hence the name, CTF - Two towers. should have it ready for you guys by Friday :)

he also posted up 9 pics so here they are :D:

[legacy-Ejen34]

[legacy-Tweak-fragger]

Wow, I really enjoy those pictures. The textures are combined well and the use of brushes and trees are excelent. I can not wait for this map to release :D

Looks nice apart from the lighting, or lack of.

Yeah, lord knows that sunlight doesnt hit things from one direction! There should be rainbows all over. Sauron has halogen technology, dammit.:down:

kidding... but cut the guy some slack :)

[legacy--=WhiteWulf=-]

I think the sky should be..... darker and more eerie feeling. :up:

[legacy-§uper-]V[oose]

I'm with Packet. :up:

[legacy-Red_dwarf]

I like the initial look.

Lets hope they achieve a more moody map.

Personally the tower looks good but the base spoils it :( To square compaired to the tower.

Isengard would be a cool place to frag people :):up:

as you can clearly see... my plate is quite full

Looks great, But wished that it really looked like the fortress at helmsdeep in the tower towers movie, that would be great

that is the craziest fight scence ive seen in a long time and if u see it, and someone would replicate it in a map, that would so so eye popping like as if you were right there in that movie

Specifically that one scene where spoiler (the army lead by Gandalf) charges down the cliff side with the bright light in the background...
Is there some way to convert a movie clip into an animated texture for a sky box? That would be the most friggin awsome backdrop.

[legacy-Ryuhou]

devestation, dont be mad, the commercials i always see on tv have helmsdeep, the one wif aragon in the rain, thats nothing untill u seen it in the theatre, u would be dissapointed

[legacy-Buckyfg]

Looks kool, between this map and my CTF-shire map, we should have some good LOTR action, hope we dont get shut down though.

Here's a few pics:

I was thinking of doing some stright out of Lord of the rings... just undecided what to do....... The mines of dwarfs or one of two towers...

I really like the style of these movies :)

The map looks nice but the thought of Two towers just takes all that nice stuff right out the window lol... becuase everyone will look at the movie and say this looks nothing like it...

[legacy-Devastation 8]

Lol, CTF-Shire. That will be kinda...silly :/

What needs to be done is a map of the Moria mines including that long bridge. this will own all mankind.

i just came back home, i just watched it. That movie pwnz all.

/me sits and waits another year :)

[legacy-Jacob Korn]

i want the tree people :bulb:

both maps are looking really good

I have also had a few emails from people asking if I would make helms deep from the film, well I will get on it, look for pictures in the early new year.

I think this map is pretty mush done <Although i'd like to see some new static meshes and textures :sour:>

[legacy-§uper-]V[oose]

Looks much better.

[legacy-Loosecontroll5]

Map layout looks good!.
But Texturing is Awful.
1 Tower is just the Skull texture the whole way round and looks pretty bad and unproffesional.
I know BadKarma has great mapping skills due to earlier maps and he can create great models and textures.

Why didn't he with this map!.

Yeah, i noticed that ugly skull teture all over the tower...i'll tell him about it.

[Emmet Otter]

The map reeks of awesomeness.:up: :up: Can hardly wait.

[legacy-Devastation 8]

Hmm...I was thinking about a LOTR mod...And i still am...

I'll try to come up with an idea of a mod/game mode based in Middle Earth.

[legacy-Jigen]

For me, things with a fantasy theme in UT2003 are just great, UT2003 allows for a lot of themes, from gothic, to technology, to alien, to fantasy, and more... I love it when an artist can really sink their teeth into and love what they're doing. I hope this turns out great.

[legacy-Mofassa]

some LoTR ideas from me


DM-Lothlorian
DOM-Hobbiton
BR- (i 4get the name...but that big underground place where all the "bad dudes" hide out)

[legacy-Devastation 8]

You see, i get this block...I'm trying to think of amod that will be in Middle Earth or somwthing like this but i get blocked now...I'll try later than.

Err...No, i will think now :mad:.

EDIT:
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them.
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

lead...

[legacy-Doofy]

If you are interested, i'm starting a LOTR mod for UT2003 myself. The site is nearly finished. We have 2 mappers and 1 weapon modeller so far :)

Because he was working on his own for this one. Most of his previous ones that looked any good had other people doing the textures.

I'm kind of hitting the same problem with my current map, loads of custom meshes but no skill at skinning. Luckily the style of the map has let me get away with base textures on most of them.

[legacy-Killroy X]

Good looking map, and improvement on the sky texture. However, I still think it needs something. That moon could be smaller (farther away). Seems a little distracting.

I think the Ruination sky texture might work better. Maybe not, hell I don't know.

Keep up the good work. I'll play it no matter what!
