Introduction

[[did]Madis]

Hello,

My name is Madis. I'm an 18-year old student and assistant database manager. I'm also an Unreal Universe "faggot", or so to speak, and a Strangelove enthusiast. I've recently also started mapping for UT99 to contribute something to the long life of Unreal Tournament.

So, what made me sign up here? Well, it seems like a great and an active community for UT, and it seems like a possible place to publish my mapping and also promote Strangelove on the sidelines

Sometimes life forces you to neglect school (to some extent) and start pursuing a carreer very early on. I've been working from since I was 14 years old, and for almost 2 years now, done professional work.

Anyway, map shots - Almost all of these maps are Strangelove-related, so the build of the maps can be described with one word - large.

(still work-in-progress - this map is a hybrid between strangelove and normal gameplay. Scale of the map is similar to CTF-Face - it's large, with some possibility for sniping )

Strangelove map. Needs a redo since it's too high poly and lags low-end pc owners

Edit: removed image tags since by the board rules, these images stretch the page too much

you know it looks nice dont know what to say more about it it just looks nice!

EDIT:

I downloaded 1 of your maps CTF-((UrS)2008(DID)) and i see there can be some little improvements try to merge those brushes

[[did]Madis]

Yeah, that's what I've been told

Since I'm still a newbie into mapping (a tad bit under 2 months), I don't know all the tricks of the trade yet, but luckily I got some good hints from a veteran mapper a few days ago. And also, one of the major motivations to sign up here was to learn something and to get constructive criticism (in which case you should take into consideration that they're strangelove maps )
