    TF2 Source Mapping Project Seeks More!

    Have some copypaste:

    Greetings fellow Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod, and pony enthusiasts!


    Are you sick of playing Dustbowl 20 times in a row? Need a more show accurate map for your machinimas?


    Do you have any experience with 3D Modelling, UV Mapping, or texturing?


    You do? Well then, you should consider joining the Ponyville Mapping Project!


    The aim of this project is to create a vast library of custom props and textures for use in Ponyville themed Source 2009 maps, as well as for general use in Garry's Mod's sandbox. Currently, we plan to create an as-show-accurate-as-possible Ponyville for GMod machinimas, as well as modified versions of it for various TF2 gamemodes.


    This project would be quite a hoof-ful alone, which is why we need the help of any and all modellers and texture artists in the Brony community.


    The show, neigh, the community, deserves the best quality we can provide, so before we will allow anypony to join the team we'll need to see what you're capable of.


    If you think you have what it takes, send a sample of your work to zarkith@gmail.com or inkyhooves@gmail.com.


    If you're new to modelling, or aren't comfortable sending us your work, don't worry! You can show us your skills with this little challenge:


    Create a model of one of Twilight's letters to Princess Celestia (sealed) in under 800 polygons. We will accept them without UV maps, but please at least give it a try.


    Accepted model formats: .obj, .blend, .smd


    Accepted texture formats: .png, .tga, .vtf & .vmt (256x256 or smaller; Power of 2 dimensions)


    There is no recruitment deadline, so you pretty much have until we're done to help out.


    If you have any comments or questions, feel free to send them to the above emails.

    BrickCon Rainbow Dash


    Apparently this is from an adult Lego convention, which sounds really awesome.  Have some copy paste infos on that:

    If anypony is interested in seeing it in real life (The statue, not the Bronies.) please drop by, the con is at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall and open to the public Saturday 1st October 10am until 4pm, Sunday 2nd October 9am until 3pm. Entry is $9, so come for the pony, stay for the LEGO! We have Pirates, Castle, Space, Mecha, Monty Python tributes, WW2, more art like Rainbow Dash and the like! http://brickcon.org/

    3. Finally! Some quality pony maps for TF2 and Garry! I want to join that so bad, but I know nothing about modeling. I has sad.

    4. Duuuuude, legos AND ponies. Is there anything this fandom WON'T combine?

      ReplyDelete
    5. I can seriously imagine myself wearing one of those Ocular Proof shirts.

      ReplyDelete
    6. I don't really think the unicorn horn is a reference to MLP or Ponys, since Unicorns are ... well ... pretty much your standart fantasy creature with magical abilities.

      ReplyDelete
    7. @Earl Grey

      Yeah me too, Id totally wear one of those shirts.

      ReplyDelete
    8. Interesting1 I might join the OC pony competition.

    9. Why does FushiCon happen on a day that I have to re-sit an exam?!

      Oh well, I can watch some footage someone will no doubt record of that day.

    13. That Derpy header is adorable. :D

      ReplyDelete
    14. Um... I want eternal happiness, which apparently is found by riding Rainbow Dash. Any pony though is welcome to take me to Eternal Happiness! I'd be especially honored if Luna came, or even Celestia, Twilight, or Fluttershy. Anypony really, though.

      Looks like I need to stock up on a years worth of Lucky Charms!

      ReplyDelete
    15. Toys in the Phillipines? What do they look like?

      ReplyDelete
    16. ...WHELP. I call "This is why I clop".

      ReplyDelete
    17. Love the Lego Dash. I'd pay the $9 entrance fee to go see it and spend a day playing with legos.

      ReplyDelete
    18. I live in the Philippines and i wanted to get a happy meal, but i was with my non brony friends so i didnt get one, im planning on going back to get one

      ReplyDelete
    19. Rachael Thomas is really good at shirt making.

      ReplyDelete
    20. I dunno if I should go to McDonalds tomorrow...its gonna be embarrassing to order a happy meal.

      ReplyDelete
    21. Fluttershy an earth pony? RPers are usually so obsessive about the details.

      ReplyDelete
    22. SWTOR AND PONIES?!?!?!? *fanboy squeal*

      I can't access the guild page, though. Said I'm "not authorized". What gives?

      ReplyDelete
    23. Heh, FushiCon actually looks pretty okay. The anime subculture seems to be this whole other thing, I always underestestimate how huge it is.

      Although, lol:
      "For all your debauchery needs of the non-heterosexual kind, this yaoi and yuri panel shall school you in the different genres and – oh, who are we kidding? Its porn. You like porn, yes? Come to this. Especially if you like lesbians (because who doesn’t) or even if you like the odd slash pairing. Bring earplugs to avoid your ear drums bursting from fangirl squeals."

      ReplyDelete
    24. "undererstestimate" is indicative of the extent to which I underestimate the anime fandom.

      ReplyDelete
    25. For those Filipinos who are embarrassed about ordering a Happy Meal, don't worry. The clerks usually have their poker face on, and I'm not just talking about McDo. I've bought some retail ponies in different stores as well.

      Although it is pretty fun when they do ask who it's for and you answer it's for you. This was the case when I was getting Twilight. It went something like this:

      Me: Miss, mali po yung nastamp niyo. Happy Meal po yung inorder ko.
      Clerk: Ah. Sorry sir. Ano pong laruan ang kukunin niyo?
      Me: Number 6 ho, si Twilight Sparkle.
      *clerk brings out a whole bunch of happy meals*
      *I notice there's no Twilight in the lot*
      Me: Miss, wala ho kayo nung number 6?
      Clerk: Ay sorry sir, yan lang yung nasa counter eh. Para kanino ba ho yung laruan?
      Me: Hmm?
      Clerk: Para kanino ho yung laruan? Babae ba o lalaki?
      Me: Ah, para sakin po. *laugh*
      Clerk: *laugh*
      Girl ordering: *laugh*
      Clerk: , hanapan niyo nga si sir ng number 6.

      (sorry international bronies, too lazy to translate right now) :))

      And to those who are wondering what they look like, here's a pic:

    26. Thanks.for the mention! Really hope to find more bronies in south texas

    27. Yesterday I was doing a word search, and it had RDash, Lyra, and cuter in it. Coincidence? Perhaps, perhaps not.

      ReplyDelete
    28. @SkylineFaux

      I can't see how they can pull off a poker face after that...

      But Wooot! I was wondering when the irony of no ponies in the Philippines would be broken.

      And the good news is I've been ordering happy meals for my nieces for awhile now. So I can buy one like a Boss!!! WOOHOO!!

      And no it was never planned out...probably...

      ReplyDelete
    29. Me: Miss, you got me the wrong stamp. I ordered a Happy Meal.
      Clerk: Ah. Sorry sir. What toy would you like to purchase?
      Me: Number 6, Twilight Sparkle.
      *clerk brings out a whole bunch of happy meals*
      *I notice there's no Twilight in the lot*
      Me: Miss, don't you have any number 6?
      Clerk: Ay sorry sir, those were the only toys on the counter. Who were you going to give it to?
      Me: Hmm?
      Clerk: For whom were you going to give the toy? For a girl or boy?
      Me: Ah, it's for me. *laugh*
      Clerk: *laugh*
      Girl ordering: *laugh*
      Clerk: ,Can you search for the gentleman here a number 6.

      Sorry if the translation is Meh. It's just so damn freaking hard to translate >:3

      ReplyDelete
    32. Blooming 'ell. Apparently I could get to Northampton within 15 minutes if I used the national rail services.

      If it didn't set me back £45, I could of totally gone to that FushiCon.

    36. Lego Dash, why must thou taunt me? I can make it to see you, but to do so would mean missing my own party. AAARRGGHH

      ReplyDelete
    37. Someone should really interview Andrea. I really am a fan of her voice acting. Pinkie and Fluttershy? Damn. All of the voice actors are superb! I never thought there would be so much screaming and hollering in a kid's my little pony show. Another reason why I why I watch the show.

      ReplyDelete
    46. Derpy may have lost a little of her steam lately, but she still has a fan following. I still love her. :)

      Hmm, FushiCon. Never heard of that one. But that's cool. I'm sure she'll be piled on by fans in less than 10 seconds flat! lol

      Dat lego Rainbow Dash... wow. Very very cool. And so much work put into it I'm sure. I'd love to see a real large scale lego pony made as well. Something standing 6' or more.

      And it seems we have a wootin' Wootie at the bottom of the page. :P

      ReplyDelete
    47. Yee-haw, another nightly-roundup!
      Tf2 and Garry's Mod project woohoo~ can't wait to start seeing content popping up.
      OC contest... Eh, might possibly enter..
      Lego Rainbow Dash = nostalgia + winning
      The ponification of Wootie made me bust into laughter, especially after checking out his recent facebook posts.

    50. I so want to go to the Fushi con! Too awesome!

      ReplyDelete
    51. Lego Dashie-kins! I want to get that many legos and build her...Maybe I should get the plans and set up one of those custom lego sets on the lego website? Would cost ridiculous amount of money.

      ReplyDelete
    52. The Ballerina Mafia comic is pretty funny! "I'm going to punch you in the mouth boy." XD
      The pony reference in Binding of Isaac seems to be more of an MLP reference than a MLP:FiM reference, and I'm pretty sure EqD is focused on MLP:FiM right? That custom Fluttershy on German Ebay is incredible! I just can't believe the things the community makes sometimes.
      That's my 2 cents. Put it in your mental pony bank or spend it immediately on more brain-melting inconsequential opinions.
