Low route is themed to be deeper into the soil, that is why it is so dark.

Map is actually smoother than picture shows

Redone. Fixed:

Scenery Shortage, and open space. Threw in a top routeĀ 

[Eagles_Arrows]

Too much open space.

Whoa whoa whoa..the whole map is black man.

Even if it is a soil theme, go back and lighten things up a little bit.  Maybe bring the roof down to focus gameplay along the routes you've made.

[jrgp]

it really lacks scenery

[iDante]

No scenery in the middle that i noticed.

[The Geologist]

An additional point after studying the map a bit more...make things a little sharper, maybe take out some of the smooth curviness of the map and the long tunnels, and add some relief, played to duck and hide.

And yes, more scenery would be good.  When adding scenery, make use of the tolls like transparency and color.  This can give the illusion of depth when you're placing sceneries in front, middle, or back.

[Hello There]

Im not very good at doing scenery - i cant theme very well. I usually try to make a bunch of scenerys that fit the map but they seem to bring the map apart...

Other than that i am very good at light-scenery objects, i try not to stick to realism on my maps, this is one of the few that i have

[The Geologist]

Just because you're not good now isn't an excuse.  If you want to be good then practice.  Update the map, mess around with the scenery a bit and try things out.  The functions are there for a purpose, so use them and experiment.

... I just have one question, should i use grid while placing sceneries?


and is middle in front of gostek and behind polys?

[The Geologist]

Place sceneries without the grid.  The grid is best used for poly placement, and when I use the grid, I make a basic map design and then turn the grid off to move the polys around and smooth things out after.

Middle is behind polys, but in front of the Soldat.  For example, if you wanted to put up bushes or a column that the player would run behind, but you don't want it sticking out in front of the map, then middle is the way to go.
