Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

This ruin concept is an idea for a full map.

This is more of a work in progress map as I learn the features of Sandbox. I added a low polygon statue model. I modeled the statue using Wings3d and Hexagon. It still needs tweaking, uv mapped and textured painted. It is alot faster getting models into sandbox than half-life 2. Less steps to go through. nice....
I'm fairly bad about throwing things in before they are ready as I learn a new program but just wanted to see if the md3 model would load correctly.

Next step is to create a 2d concept of the ruins and not just do it on the fly as I have been learning stuff. This has been fun though...

Very nice, I just downloaded wings3d and its great its fun and easy to use unlike blender, still need to learn more about exporting tho.

Cool map! When do we get to play it? Take care.

Yeah i would like to investigate that statue lol.

A few weeks maybe a month till finished if not much modeling,texturing etc... and the sun keeps shining....
Here is a mockup up the statue. I'm not ready to say this is the final look but it's a start....
I don't want to spoil the map so all under wraps till then.
Though it will just be a walk through to enjoy...

I used 3Dcoat to make the texture and normal map...

not bad for your first few models
