Minicompo Creed
I will do my best,
To do my duty,
To Rimrook and MuzzAtom,
And obey the laws of the minicompo
-AMEN-
Oi this contest is giving me doubles.. I don't know the hell I'm doing, but it's so much fun! No texture alignment or scaling for sure simplifies things

Oh dear. I'm not quite finished yet, but I decided to give it a preliminary compile. About 5 hours and it's not done yet. D:

5 hours?! 
Did you follow the tips Rimrook gave to speed up the compile(don't just skip RAD)? Also try scaling up the texts to double or more and/or try making everything a func_wall/func_detail, and skybox the map.
Or, port the brushwork to Ep2 and it will compile in 1.5 minutes

Did all those tips, and everything is set to a texture scale of 25.
It's getting stuck on vis (still!), and it looks like it's stuck on the very last LeafThread.
I may just port it to Ep2 HL2, because Rimrook doesn't have Ep2.

Mine is up-ed in the vault. If i'm getting 1st spot, i'm willing to trade the minecraft code for the poster, with the 2nd in place.
Better yet, just keep the code for a next compo...I only want the dang poster

^ No it's mine!
Rim also, if you truly still don't have Ep2, I'd be happy to steam gift you it for judging purposes(for this and future minicompos). Up to you

Dildos: It's what's for mapping
It is actually my take on a Stargate Atlantis space station thingie. The reason I'm lathing everything is to save time(hence the dildoing), but I'm about to build some supports and a hangar bay now..

Yup, this is looking swell. Running around in my map and just noticing my add "twhl.NET".
Yeeeaaah buddyyyy! In it, to win it!

Changed compile settings, map compiled in 5 seconds. Let's hope it will still compile that fast for the final one.

kk I will send it out in a little bit Rim
Unfortunately, I must officially surrender on this one..
Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, procrastination(and major technical snags at the beginning), I am still nowhere close to finishing mine...
Rather than submit an unplayable WIP mishmash, I will finish this off for HL2DM and CSGO, and submit it to the vault when finished!
In order to finish this right, I'll need to get Blender or at least Propper going, or some other trick to free up some more brushes.

If you want Rim, please use my halfway-point version as my WIP entry, sorry sir! ='(

Everyone, put your Hammers down. The competition is over. Submit it to the vault, finished or not. We'll look at everything and judge based on the criteria we promised to judge. Anyone can still win.
Good luck to everyone!

I haven't actually touched my map since I posted on here last >_<. Lost track of time, started playing Space Engineers, weekly training for something school related, and just general giving up because I no map good. Mah bad.

I thought we would get more entries too with all those promising WIPs posted! Oh well, hopefully we'll get a better turnout for MC3?
Maybe if we make these minicompos official(with profile awards and write-ups), that would be further incentive to join?

Just post what you have. Any one of you could win something, otherwise you're just rolling over and taking it in the ass.
This is like turning in an unfinished homework assignment at school. Do you turn in what you have for a 30%-50% grade, or do you get a 0% because you don't want to experience any embarrassment?
This compo was actually a homework assignment I got in college a long time ago. I failed it so poorly that I left the class and went home. The stuff I've seen from TWHL puts everyone in that class to shame so man up and show your shit. Everyone should be proud of what they did, even if they just dabbled in it.

I'll take my 5% please sir. Seriously, I hit an error and just gave up, to many things going on still for me to even fix the problem. Uploaded a version that works to the vault though. I usually draw my maps/game ideas/whatever out before hand, something I didn't do here, which I think hurt it the most. Going to put more effort into planning out a map next mini-/compo.

Woot! Much thanky for people uploading their WIPs, though I see there are still a few stragglers.. =P
I'm rebuilding/simplifying my brushwork so it will fit into one map, and hope to have it uploaded in a few days. Beautiful work everyone!

Well i can't say im surprised so many folks left their wips to collect dust. I pretty much gave up on mine as well 'till the last couple of days and still remains at about 60% of what i actually wanted to do...
The rules/constraints of the compo we're very frustrating for me to work with, if not infuriating :(. Not sure if i'll have the stomach for another custom wad/mats compo.
Anyways, enough crying wolf. Let's see them colors!
Btw, was just looking through entries so far and i noticed 1 thing that would really add to the overall feeling of the levels - thin, black outlines on brushes. Think of Borderlands 2 art style.

I've actually started a base map for another mini competition. This one won't have many rules at all besides staying within the boundaries of the map.
It's coming along very beautifully and is very inspiring. I was originally inspired by an old map of mine I accidently loaded.
It's pretty far from ready but I plan on spending a lot of time working on it.

Kachito, that effect is called Cel Shaded.
I have some RMFs with some Cel Shaded brushwork, it works. :3
Though is very "Wpoly consuming".

This one really required a lot of creativity :/
It might have been better as a full compo but the compo itself was a little left-field. It had to have a bunch of rules to make sure things were in the common style.

Think of Borderlands 2 art style.I vaguely remember reading a tutorial somewhere on how to do that, but after a quick look it doesn't appear to be on TWHL. It may have been for SketchUp originally, although the same method works for HL.
I've uploaded an example map here.

I got busy with other stuff, the image I posted way back is pretty much the extent of what I was able to do.
These entries look crazy, though, just looking at images. Excellent work all round, holy Hell. I'll have to give 'em all a good look in-game soon.

I'm only uploading because you're adamant about having anything.
This is a room at least, so yay! Even though you've already seen it!
Also, sorry about not fully participating (or notifying of my "drop-out). I had some plans for it, but alas, other projects.

You really want the sorry excuse for a map i made?
I spent about 2 hours on everything, and most was storyline and entity work.
When I heard this was more visual than anything, I gave up.
