Recently I decided to take the plunge and see what Wings 3d is all about. This is the result- a battle on the moon, complete with lunar rover, lunar lander, rocks, craters, and a flag. There are a few other surprises that you'll find if you explore it.
All and all, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, because this was originally just a test to figure out how Wings works.

Edit
Fixed the invalid mesh faces problem, and changed the landscape around a bit to (hopefully) make playability better.

Now that is well made, far better than my two tries with wings. Great job!

Looks cool, not sure if it will be very playable, but it demonstrates your prowess in wings.

Meh, been there, done that. BZFS does'nt like thin faces. (As in really thin faces, like paper) The best way to fix them is to go back to your model,
find them and extrude them a little bit so they are'nt molecule thin.
Sorry if it may sound a little vague. The map really looks nice though!
A great job, defenitely.

You don't seem to understand what a face is at all...
Faces are 2D...

Great map! My son likes the outer space stuff. Any chance though you might do a Mars map? Good work.

Thats so unrealistic, everyone knows the moon is made of cheese

Anyways it looks great, great job.

That's not a bad idea... It would be pretty cool to have a map centered around a huge crater and one of the rovers. And what would really be neat is have a drawinfo dust devil swing through! Ya, that sounds like a cool idea, so I'll see if I can come up with something. Although don't expect it anytime soon, I'm swamped at school.

Hah, just get yourself a cheese texture, and put it in place of the "surface" material.

Thanks all for your comments.

Maybe add a giant canyon there too. And Mount Mons in the background!

But the best idea that I can think of are sandstorms with blocks of red bullets (it would take a lot) flying towards the playing field, and you have to go behind a rock or mars rover.

...and if you try to drive over one of the rovers, it kills you and says "Don't hurt Spirit!" or something to that effect

The thing I like about the moon map is that it makes jumping tanks more realistic. That always bothers my dad...
