this is a map i have been working on for some time now. im new to mapping and all i know how to do is make the model. if somebody could either help me learn ot do it for me thatd e great

It looks nice, only the yellow may be a little bright. If you have the bases finished, I could try to help you.

Is it bump mapping or is it high poly?

It may be bump... but it is a little bright in that one spot, I would make it somewhat darker.

edit: yeah, hi poly too it looks

you don't apply the bump map in 3ds max.You apply it later in the shaders

yes, but by making that area of the texture darker, cant it also cause the bump map to be darker?

edit: hey Patrick, get on AIM, I'd like to talk to you about that Canyon Map.

thanks and ya its a bump
well sorta
most of its my ground texture
but i applied my ground texture under the difuse amp and under the bump. its not hard to take off

i know how to bump.But you can't use twice the texture for bump and for diffuse(well you can but its not really bump).I can make bump textures if you want

thanks im me l8tr or ill im you and ill give you the ground texture map fine and anything else you need

this is what i hope for the water to look like

I made a water tutoroial:

thanks for the tut but my water falls at amny stages down water falls your tutorial is for 1 level flat plane. pluss mine needs do be like clear blue water but you know sort of like the gulf of mexico or hawaaii

here are the water layout pics

you mean cascades?

i guess

i know that this map is going to be awesome

I'll agree to that. it is pretty

AGH! My eyes! They burn! I like t3h layout, but get rid of the freaking mountains on the rims, I absolutely hate it when some nweb makes a BOX map. If you are goin to make a map:

1. Learn to type.
2. Try to make decent at least comprehendable renders.
3. DON'T post images as THUBMNAILS!! It's bad enough for 56k people to have to load your crapppy renders, then have to click on the damm thumbnails and wait for each one to load individually!
4. Don't just use EXTRUDE to make the mesa's! Use BEVEL! Apply some god damm displacement!

Hosnetly, what is UP with thew incredibly FUZZY renders?! Did you paint them on the back of a polar bear and then photograph them or something?!

dude, layoff, I kinda like the way he's doing things here, if I could mod halo ce I would help him out, but I hate when people come in and call him a newb, noob, n00b, newbie, etc... this is his first map, so just fucking layoff
