My map - pointers
« on: December 22, 2008, 06:01:52 am »
Hey guys

I just started mapping and i've done what i can but i feel that it isnt really enough, so therefore im asking you guys on the soldatforums to give me some pointers on the map that i've "attempted" to make.

It's very sharp, remove the damn grid and start making smooth curves. The highest peak is useless. I think you should make a few platforms in the air so the action isn't on the ground only. And add color to the "roof".

red=too straight lines

yes, this problem used too happen to me, i couldn't fix it. but my recent maps have had no problems for some reason, maybe i did something without realizing. :|

ok so back to your map, whats that yellow thing at the top? and make the background lighter and work on your shading :)
