The Torque team is sponsoring the Unearthly Challenge game art contest. We will be giving away several copies of Torque 3D, both as a sponsor of the challenge as well as through a giveaway on our site. Read Derek Bronson's blog for more details.
Although we want to see a lot of individual blog posts, entrants can also feel free to post their Unearthly Challenge pictures here, so we can keep a running list of everyone involved in the project.
Hope to see some great environments coming from the community soon!

You know you can edit your posts and put more than one image in each, right? I can see the images - looking very nice! Bit high-poly, though :)

So i finish today the dome and some structure now i will begin with the walls and archs , i dont know if i will close the structure to make like a interior scene or making it only a half like my skecth becuase in my other skecth is it indoors with the time i will decide.
Well this image is render in 3d max with default scanline render two omni light one with shadows and only the materials have the normal map and diffuse i have let the lights in standar with no changes because the propose its maked in the engine but only to see how textures blend with the color and detail , in some cases i use nvidia normal map and in other cases zbrush normal maps , my textures are 128 by less .. like 128 by 80 or smoething ,in each texture i use photoshop for making good texture and i use tiles texture for saving textura map space so a rpeated in the block as yo see this image has 9 diferent textures of size 128 by less .
here is the link for you to see it all
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/631/contest1m.jpg
so this model has 8000 tris and 4000 thousand polys more or less i have modeled all based on arch of 3d models and images easy modeling but painfull unwrap not all the models in my scene will be unwraped now lets ake it to zbrush!!
well i decide not to use zbrush in this i will use some nvidia normal map , and cool texture instead i will save that for later
well i almost broke my back doing this floor because the easy way is to unwrapet but by the size limit of textures we have i decide that the only way to get it is oding each texture in the flooor by 128 *128 and detach each plane in the floor and put the map of each tile in each square thats the only way to get it , and i almost broke my neck because you have to resize and rotate each map in the 3d max scene , so it was finish and beautifull looking it worth the pain.
here are the links so tou can dowload to your desktop and see ity right:

This render sis in 3d max with no special light and only are diffuse and normal aplied no specular i think with all textures in torque and effects will look really great!

Scene will look something like this, but with more tentacles wrapped around and into the castle.
Current State inside Torque.. Long way to go and we don't have much time left.
Edit:11/13/19:.. Can't see past page two of posts on this thread for some reason so will post some updates here..
I've made a little progress, will have to put a lot more effort into the terrain to make it look decent. Any tips on how to make distant terrain look better?
Check me out here..
