Title: MeatHook PCS Design Competition
Post by: TeaLeaf on December 31, 2002, 10:08:40 AM
MeatHook PCS are pleased to announce a small design competition for you!

We would like you to design a decal/logo/picture or other graphical representation for MeatHook PCS.  How you interpret this brief is up to you.  For example, you may wish to include reference to MeatHook PCS itself, the 'Professional' nature of PCS - the way the game SHOULD be played, the Forums url, the teamwork, voicecoms and spirit that embodies MeatHook PCS etc - you get the picture.  Wait a second, you submit it, WE get the picture  :wink:

We are aiming to apply the winning design (or designs) to a unique supply of customised merchandise like polo shirts, t-shirts, mugs, caps or mouse mats etc.  Please bear this in mind when endulging your creativity.  An A4 masterpiece won't fit onto a coffee mug  :lol:   When the competition is over we will provide you with some examples of the available merchandise and costs.  We have located a UK based supplier who seems to charge highly competitive and reasonable prices for this type of work.  However, if you know of any suppliers of this type of service, please let me know - I'll then check it out to make sure we get the best deal possible.

Your submissions should be either emailed to me or posted here directly.  My email address is TeaLeaf@deadmen.co.uk

Competition entries close on 31st January 2003.  GL & HF!

http://csnation.counter-strike.net/morph/t...dtextureing.php (http://csnation.counter-strike.net/morph/tut_advancedtextureing.php)

Theres a bunch of tutorials in there which explain how to lift the maps/decals and get screen shots of the models and how to export a map to a dxf file which i can load into 3dmax4. You then have to apply the textures.

I'll be sorting this stuff out at home to properly work on it as i would like to build my own map.

theres an app called winbspc.exe that takes a bsp file and creates a map file that hammer can load. Hammer is like a level editor for halflife.

wally is a map extractor that gives you a directory of jpgs. These can then be used in 3dmax.

and then the really cool thing is the halflife model viewer! allows you to see all the animation and poses for the player models.

I'll put all these tool on my server tonight if people want them.
