Well since this is the first time I've showcased something Non-TDIR related, I should give you guys some background info...

I'm a serious wrestling-a-holic. I love to wrestle, and of course I love to play video games as well. After working with the TDIR crew for so long, I felt that I really needed to learn to edit things myself. I played a bit with JK, the Serious Sam engine... but I never really did anything fantastic or super creative.

Then when HL2 came out I was determined to learn how to map. So I loaded up Hammer and started making boxes (Hooray!). Then I wanted to learn how to skin models. So I started figuring that one out.

Essentially I've learned very basic skills with Hammer and skinning (For my first modification of a skin its ok I suppose, nothing fancy!). So I thought I would present everyone with the first real shots of Source Wrestling Federation!

(Please note: I used Garrys Mod for the pictures, since I really don't have any other way to showcase my stuff properly.)

Work in Progress: Lighting Sucks, Textures Suck. I'm still learning.

This is the Entrance Ramp. Note horrible positioning of Spotlight. The static on the screens moves, just like on the consoles/tvs in HL2.


This is another angle on the same area, this time from the ring.


Everyone needs a pyro, right? (He may be dead.)


Finally, this is a closeup of the mask I drew (Hey it looks like MSPaint!)


I realize I haven't even shown the ring, but I'm actually changing it again and working on getting the apron to look right (with custom textures)..

I should have more to showcase soon!

Well...I'm not really interested in wrestling, but I've found the games fun. Wrestling in Source would really be great. Hitting a buddy of mine a few blocks away with a chair, seeing it dent and watching him fall, hitting him again and again...

I can't say that wrestling has ever been a passion of mine, but looks interesting. What the heck is going on in that last screenie though? It's like some sort of optical allusion.

He got clocked by a street sign (By someone who looks identical to him). And he's bleeding.

Its basic, but getting there Are you going to have arena seats around the whole thing? The ceiling should be higher.. ooh, you could put walkways up there next to the lighting rigs and stuff.

You can show them the model im still working on (i'm at school)
