<u><b>E.V.A. Reveal #1</b></u>
Hi everyone! It's been forever since I've done anything with Natural Selection. My hard drive died about a month ago so I had to get a new one. Unfortunately I lost most of what I worked on before. Luckily I had some files that I saved onto a flash drive. Some of those files included the logos I made (which I would probably kill myself if I lost...ok not really).
This is the original Logo that I made. It's nice and clean. <a href="http://filesmelt.com/dl/evaoriginal.jpg" target="_blank">E.V.A. Logo Original</a> This is the same logo, but dirty. It's supposed to fit the grungy theme of NS2. <a href="http://filesmelt.com/dl/evaoriginaldirty.jpg" target="_blank">E.V.A. Logo Dirty</a>
After getting back up to speed, I decided to re-work my skills in the Editor. I came up with a little map to test off some artwork I'm working on. So far I've made a sign, trashcan, and E.V.A.
Right now, I want to show off E.V.A. I don't have much to show off, but at least it's something. Without further ado, here is a small video showing off E.V.A. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EksycAhV9Kk" target="_blank">Video</a>
It's two separate models. One spins to the left, the other right. In the future, the 3D logo will be used as a hologram, so it's going to be all spiced up with nice hologram-like effects (distortion, particles, etc.). There will also be a smaller version of the logo some-time in the future, which will be used as a 3D Holographic guide for the ship (think Cortana from Halo).

you should attempt to make specular, bump and perhaps normal map for your logo, simply diffuse would look out of place.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The logos already have a specular and bump map. If it didn't have them, they turn out really shiny.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advertising signs to be made. And I thought it'd be awesome if you guys wanted to make something.
All I need is a sign that is 1024x800. Doesn't matter if it's going up and down or left and right.
Some basic rules though: 1) Can not have any real-life names (Old Spice, iPod, Final Fantasy, etc) 2) No porn or border line porn (Anything that looks like it was drawn sexually) 3) Must be 1024x800, no bigger, no smaller. 4) No MS paint.
So yeah, be creative! It can be anything from a fake advertisement to an inside NS joke.
Also, I don't know what the plans are for integrating Flash into NS2, but if it does get done, you might also want to think about making an animated sign, but for now don't worry about it.
Edit: And when you finish making one, be sure to PM it to me.
Edit 2: One last thing, you can also advertise your map. Just try not to do it in such a way that it's saying "hay guis com play ns_whatever".
Edit 3: If you don't want to make a poster, I also have magazines that can be used. Same rules as above. You'll need to use <a href="http://filesmelt.com/dl/magazine_base2.jpg" target="_blank">this as the base texture</a> (so you know where things go)
I have about 200MB of custom signs (bilboards) from my trackmania servers, most have to do with directions but also some humor signs.
Arrows, Cautions and such with a few funny ones like stick figures throwing cans captioned with "Caution NooBs Throwing Cans" and some other stuff. Let me know if you want to brows them and i will zip them up and send ya a link. BTW: Most are DDS and a few JPG @ 1024x800.
