A Bit Of Help In Mapping

[da_unknown_esf_]

I've just started and i know most of you will think this to be an easy question but how do you make a map with bumps and curves and not just a plaim box

 

[!XxShAdOwxX!]

Well it is using triangles. Optional made a little tutorial that explains how you get started. You can find that in the ULTRA-HUGE-MEGA-MAPPING thread. Basically you clip a box into two triangles and then use VM or you tilt it to get the desired bumps. In the sticky Optional goes into more detail.

If you don't know what each tool is, and are just starting to make maps you can try

We are planning to get more advanced tutorials up, but its been busy lately. Good luck.

Whats wrong with boxes really ? =P

Yeah it says in the sticky that says "Sticky: THE BIG MEGA THREAD OF MAPPING."
And prolly should also be "Read before posting"

Not that your question is dumb, its a good question, but could have been avoided by reading...
