Forum :: Lounge :: New to mapping

Hi, I'm Arion. I'm fairly new to this EOSERV Community, sure I've been here a few times, but I'm not very active. But today I am here to present to you one of my first maps, I think I've created one other one before but I didn't really try, then I gave it a try a few weeks later (today) and made this. It's not the best so please tell me what to fix! :)

Well theres really nothing to fix because its all objects and ground tiles. What you need to do is try some housing and etc.

Yeah I thought it was kind of plain too, but my recent maps have been lots of random objects that looked like crap. But how would you think of this of a starter map? With goats on it perhaps?

Houses can get kinda complicated for people who are just starting out with mapping, maybe try and make a, let's say 30x30 map, with a trail and a river, add objects but make sure to add the trims to to trail and to the river, so then it doesn't look so fake and straight cut. Once you can get that down, then try to make a little town map with a trail and a river, those steps might help you work your way up to a decent mapper!

Good luck! =]

Maybe add some shadows too :D Always looks much better when shadows are added.

offtopic@ Did you use EMF2PNG by any chance :P

Ahaha yes I did Desmond, it's a good tool to use thanks for it XD
And thanks for the tip guys, I'm doing shadows and a 30x30 map with a few new things to it, I'm just trying to find the good and correct tiles to use.

Post it in this topic, so i can see if you've gotten any better ! =]
