Best custom noggit maps of all times

[Steff]

During the years many people did many wonderfull stuff with noggit. And sadly many of this work is already forgotton. I want to make a coolest maps contest and you should nominate the maps we will vote. After this we will create a poll and give them a order. The main problem we have to face is that there are no images or even patches out there to get some images from to present them here. I hope you all help to preserv some of our history.  So we need map imahes creator year and perhaps some backgroud infos about the work. So search your harddrives and post what you find.

[Amaroth]

So, are we to nominate maps of others which have really sparked our interrest or send our own stuff? Or both?

[Bardh]

And I guess this kind of contest is about the maps which are already made, right?

[Steff]

Clearly you can post your own maps. And to release images it must be done

@Shelldon does have some REALLY awesome maps, you should check this one out:

If you like it, you should check his other work too.

I also love the afterfall project of @Filipsons ( http://www.modcraft.io/index.php?topic=3567 ) but nearly all pictures are offline and it seems like the project is dead too :/

[Amaroth]

Afterfall has been dead for years. Filipsons is too busy with playing on server Real Life, whatever that means .

Bardh's Hardon project is very, very promising, maybe unfinished, but areas he has shown so far look great and have very unique pseudo-realistic touch to them (I struggle to find better words for describing feeling I get especially from grassland areas he has designed). And I'd say that as long as zone is finished... who says that whole map/project needs to be finished?

#1 project I personaly have accomplished so far is probably here (although screenshots are nearly all WIP):
http://www.model-changing.net/gallery/album/34-yarr-isles/
#2 here (yet again, nearly all screenshots are actually WIP):
http://www.model-changing.net/gallery/album/30-dota2-map-for-wow/

Mythia map is messed up a lot and was not finished by me (I am author of terrain, most of bases/cities and part of wilderness spawn), and my successors have left some touches to it which I actually really hate (and so do/did others, who have seen screenshots from there/played there). So I don't think it belongs here, but feel free to take a look at it.:

Please, understand that both isles and dota map are actually maps made for money for others - they were commissioned and projects which use them are actually not opened yet. So I may probably be able to send up to date, nonWIP screenshots and more screenshots to you, but I should probably consult that with guys who have bought those maps first. I am the only creator of those maps, but not the only owner (or owner at all actually).

[Steff]

I think also unfinished and stoped projects can go into the list.
The work should have reached some showable state like afterfall did

Thank you Amaroth for you kind words, your opinions mean a lot to me, you're one of the first not to say the first map designer I encountered when I joined WoW Modding.

These would be my choices:

1. Many maps I made are part of Haradon project, so this would be my first choice.

2.This one is a favorite of mine.I have many memories from it and I made it with great care. Its not perfect but I find it very interesting.

3.One of the maps I made recently, Its one of the first maps which has an overall good sunny ambience.

4.This one was made for a short amount of time but I love it because of its ambiance, the little town inside a very dark forest is something very interesting for me personally.

Wow, your work really impressed me. Especially your Haradon zones are looking really awesome. Some of these screenshots are even better looking than Blizzard zones.
I love how you're playing with the fog and the skybox so everything has a great atmosphere.

Thanks very much for your support!
