Because one TF2 art contest wasn't enough...

Valve have just announced one for the environment artists.

Get basic map layout. Make pretty. Profit.

After having to drop out of the weapons competition, I'll certainly be joining in on this one. Would be good to see a sizable Polycount contingent stepping up to the mark.

Thats awesome, I cant wait to take a crack at that.

I wouldn't say it's for environment artists persay, but level designers.

Naw, you get the layout finished, its pure cosmetics..

Damn that's a huge load of work. I assume we're allowed to use finished resources aswell otherwise it would just be batshit insane. Didn't really read the rules (my bad).

But yeah. some unique stuff is always good.

Well, the level is finished, and it requires.. environmental art?

But then again, if it means texturing the level with stuff already in tf2, then that's what you said it was, an art pass, by artistic level designers.
