Maps I have created for the incredible Quake 3 Arena...projects I have done in industrial design throughout my college career at University of Wisconsin-Stout. If you are an artist...living in Wisconsin...you should be going there...You might also see some glorification of Quake 3 arena...including updates of popular sites, and things you can dowload that I have done...ie. maps. Maybe even a forum for people wanting to know how to map in Q3radiant...the simplistic level editor for quake.

I am currently a recent graduate of Stout...and am looking to get into anything related to video games. Unfortunately for me...I couldn't afford the luxury of affording expensive programs..or the expensive design school tuition in California. So I am a beginner in the whole thing. So looks like I will be settling on a job in a product development field. Maybe toys, or electronics. My portfolio was directed at the electronic field. My last two products I designed were a video game system for the next generation, and a portable multimedia device. I will have pictures and descriptions on line soon hopefully...I just have to get access to my other computer where all my files are...Right now in my life I am building up my portfolio, but I find myself more interested in designing q3a levels than making board layouts for portfolio. I am procrastinating I guess...So I have decided till my brother (my twin brother-industrial designer as well-very good by the way)finishes his portfolio. I will be using this site to also be a side portfolio item. So I won't have to send my portfolio to everyone in america...they can just log onto it...seems simple enough...I thought so...
Now let me say a little about my favorite game... Quake3arena is such an exciting game...it just get the adrenaline pumping...Now I picked up a copy of PC-Accelerater...very cool magazine by the way...very cheap 12 dollar yearly subcription too. Too bad I am too cheap to buy a subcription...when I get a job...heck yeah I'm getting one. Among all the rest of the video game mags...mostly PC based mags...Incite is another cool mag...and we can't forget the wonderful Maxim magazine...all these mags equal unsurpassed bathroom reading pleasure. I keep a stock right by the crapper for reading enjoyment for all. Now let me talk about a little something called awesome future games. These games are called Team Fortress 2, Black and White, and the various MODS for Q3A. One site to check out for any quake info is http://www.q3center.com I probably shouldn't advertise for them...they don't know I just gave them a free plug..but oh well...we need more q3a players. I'm not a member of a clan..basically because I don't have time for it. I'm far from a god at the game as well. I am still stuck in Hardcore. Oh well...I remember the days I had that Lan connection at school, and I was playing q3test 1.08 and just sitting at the top all day long. That was between classes of course. Now I spend most of my time dreaming of levelmaking for it. Oh well. I might throw in a map rating section. I have seen some god awful maps as well. One I just downloaded today...good lord it was horrible. Only thing it had was the grappling hook and lots of yellow fog. Nice map...NOT...I think it only had 3 textures total....lol...I believe it was called Conundrum_arena...don't download it...it'll only make yer eyes bleed. The first map I attempted to make..was a remake of a bond level. Me and my bro sat with Bond 007. He played the level...and I sat and mapped. It looked virtually the same...only with some cool a$$ lighting...it was my first attempt..and I discovered tons of overlap problems and haven't worked on it since. So...unless I get some time soon...you won't see it here...but I encourage people to take maps from old games you have played...hey...you probably liked em then...why not play them now???? I have actually only done 2 maps...none have been available for download...I am still learning things about it..and want my first release of a map to be as professional as possible. I would also eventually like to make some weapons in Rhinoceros...and post them on here...just to improve my 3d modeling skills. Maybe someday I will learn to make a heavenly character model of my own. I didn't get into skinning to much...it's just painting...not too exciting...I'm not a graphic designer..I'm a 3d artist....or wannabe 3d artist. Well...I guess that's all my rantings for now...Please people...quit being cheap bastards and go pay for the games and quit burning them. I wanna be able to play games in the future...does anyone wanna pay for 200 dollar games...like we pay for art programs....I sure don't...lets just pay the 40 bucks...I mean..how often do games like quake, age of empires, unreal tourney, and Half Life come out? Not very...and you better pop the cash for Team Fortress 2...cuz it's gonna be awesome...Just think...only a few years till the new ID game...hear it's gonna be single player. Another game that sounds prett cool..that I forgot to mention...is Heavy Metal...based off the adult comic. Check it out...I don't know the official site..but I bet you can find it easily...Thanks for your time...come back sometime soon...hopefully I will have this updated within a week or two...Lastly...wanted to say...Monica...I miss ya...but hey..I'll see ya on your days off from classes...:) Xero-Kills [IK] my Clan is the Industrial Killers...only 3 members..Me, my brother and Andy...
