Once again... Another map by me...

[MC]

This forum has been dead for some time now, so I figured that I show one of the maps I was working on a few weeks ago:

This map isn't special, and I have a long way to go. Instead of the sand texture you see there, I was planning on using the grass/sand texture to make it more realistic looking but I wasn't able to get the textures to align with each other and I didn't have time to create my own textures.

I've been really busy with a lot of things which have rendered me inactive in mapping, otherwise I would be making tons of maps right now. My Volcano Arena map which I was working on is still needs to be finished since I still have a number of things to figure out and fix, but once again, I've been really busy.

looks pretty nice, but may I ask how you got that hollow cilinder, did you vertex it or something, I'm having some probs with doing that, lol.

Is this just some random map or is it maybe based on something, this map looks very original though.

 

[MC]

It's not really based on anything.

I just took eight brushes and manipulated them to look like a cylinder.

 

[donnierisk]

oh, ok, so then you do it the way I do, so it's then a good way of doing it, lol, so what are you planning for this map?

 

[MC]

I don't know yet, I'm still deciding on what else I should add.

 

[RaiKhan]

one piece of advice, dont use half-life textures.

 

[MC]

Then what should I use? Most of the custom textures I've found are terrible and I'm no artist either.
