Island map

Island map W.I.P.

I am new at making maps but I will try to make a map based on Roshis island and the islands around.

I am just started yesterday, and I'm far from done.

What do you think?

Cant you teach me how to make maps!!!

Here is some tutorials about mapping:

The things you can you download here:

If you have questions just ask.

okay.. I'll try thanks!!!

Looks nice for a first
But scale the watter texture up. That way it lags less >.<

Yes water lags ^^

Okay I'll try that. Thanks

I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but perhaps you should develop the map a bit more before posting screenshots. There isn't much I can say except to keep going.

If it's your first map, have fun and see it through. Hopefully you're getting comfortable in the Hammer environment.

Well okay.

I hope so too.

*Stabs you til you die!!!!* err.....I'm making a Roshi island map now But I wasn't gonna post it here anyways, for a esf add-on, lol, I will maybe post pics in one of my other threads.

Oh and if this is really your first map, well done, that looks very good, BUT, do you know how to properly vertex manipulate, because is it me or do I see some clipping there, clipping is a nono, NEVER, I say NEVER USE CLIPPER!!!! well unless you use the triangle technique

It was the first thing I could think of, but I'm not going to upload it when it's finished, I'll just think I'll post a pic of the final result.

ROFLLMAOLO, like they say, "great minds think alike", hehe.
Well good luck to both of you guys, hope it's a good one.
Oh and about my map, I don't really want to leak it, but what the heck, it's still heavy WIP though.

Oh and the can make this the official Roshi's island(kame house) thread ^^ XD.

I think our maps will be quite different Donnie, you've got multiple islands, mine is just one tiny island (tried to make it to-scale using manga images) in the middle of the ocean =)

What skybox is that?

As you know this is my first map, so I don't know that much about Hammer yet. So I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice or something?
Like how to draw outside the squares and how to get trees and how to get models in my map like Ravendust has on his screenshot?

I have worked a little on my Roshi island but it doesn't look too good compared to yours.

LOL, that map of mine was just a thing to test some entities, it lags a little, my wpoly is pretty high, but I'm gonna redo it, where it is only 1 or 2 islands, oh btw, theoboy, if you have msn, just add me< [email protected] then I can give you some pointers, etc. ^^

A little screenshot of one little island there is in the Roshi map I'm mapping on.

Hmmm....not TOO bad, but come on msn then I can teach you something cool to make it look more circlish.

The anwser is vertex manipulation using triangles XD

Now my map is almost done. I just have to compile it. Here are some screenshots:
