[idea] 50 brush map contest

[BARTUC]

Not sure i understand that.. My point is that a small brushcount mapping contest is mainly abt the artists architectural skill and creativity, thus eliminating *everything* else makes the contest more fair and easier to judge.

Not sure i had understood your concept .... i mean i know contest like this is useful to view wich mapper is the better in creativity and acrhitectural skills but the problem is .... would like to make only the layout and stop ???
Imho i think is better to try to make a playable map
If i dont understand your concept i'm sorry

The problem with patches is, one patch can describe almost infinite surfaces, unlike a brush that even in its most complicated form only can describe a finite number of surfaces.

Ok i understood you point of view, you mean patch like bezier .... infact is a problem.
Well we can eliminate from the contest the use of patch .... no problem.

Yeh my concept is make a layout only map. Its easy enough to make the map/s playable later.

Just having it to be abt layout makes it easier to focus, making a map outa 50 brushes is hard enough as it is, without having to worry abt game-play in numerous game-modes. Not to mention it complicated the judging part lots too.

One could simplify the rules even more by saying 50 8 sided brushes, or maybe 400 (non caulk) textured faces.

Well, i am a bit too early, but hey, WTH

It's a CTF map in 43 brushes ;D



Note: I used one endcap which amounts to 3 things. I don't know whether radiant counts these. If not, then it's 46 things total instead of 43

Thanks, it's a map idea i had in the back of my mind for quite a while. The 50 brush contest is just an excuse to finally do it and get away without any polish ;D

Nice map, you have to change the patch with a brush
Btw i like your map

I like the idea to do more with less, so I'll participate.
It's a small DM map, made out of exactly 50 brushes, nothing else.

Balance is probably off, I never play DM
