Hello All!
i have recently just started mapping, and i plan to make a few cities (not just hunting grounds). I will periodically upload images of my mapping and I greatly need the help of you more experienced mappers, as I already know i'm horrible.

A few things before i start uploading

- I 95% of the time use RAW
- On mountains i don't know how to border it w/o auto border so i try to avoid them
- not really good at open maps (big areas like forests), as i used to just do spawns

sorry but it really looks bad and autoborder, cuz of the squary border.
 
i know it looks bad, that's what i said in the beginning. I'll probably trash that part entirely since i rushed through it. Ill post another part that i actually took time on. also on this one ignore the lava, i have ghost floors on and thats bottom floor...

yeah my first one was me getting impatient, and i am thinking on scrapping my work i'm doing now and restarting based on what im learning from tutorials / other mappers, i figured out that i am terrible at grass / forests those types of things.
 
i'd say it's a start, buuut.. please see some bordering tutorials, yours made my eyes hurt :D

keep working
 
Hehe, yes that's mainly the reason why i'm starting over Manuveiu, i've seen some bordering tutorials and now am doing everything manual. No auto-border, even in hunting grounds :)
 
id say you shouldnt try red mountains yet. bordering bugs are usual even with experienced mappers.
 
Temple of the project i'm restarting on, I have no idea what else to do with it, and was wondering if you suggest anything i should add / remove

UPDATE

its too clean imo, try using more gravel/stones.
removes those lava walls, or use only the lava walls, they dont really fit together
try to use some other grounds inside the houses.
i think the borders are placed wrong
also i know its harder in houses but really try to avoid making them all squarie.

look at some more experienced mappers and read some tutorials


keep working on them and they will turn out just fine :)
 
Alright, and on the borders i am trying something new, which i probably shouldn't since i'm inexperienced but ill show you

don't know what ground i'm going to use inside buildings, and ill add detail when i get the base all done
(houses, shops, etc)
 
i don't know, i don't think i'm copying off anyone either.. I just started this last night

a piece of a new map i'm working on for an OT

(won't show all of it because i'm not done and don't want anyone to see until they play it themselves) :p
 
Damn that scaled quickly :p I liked your last 2 pictures, I just that the borders doesn't match in the last picture in one part but you are getting better.

Try to don't make the buildings so square.
