PotatoSkin's Mapping

Greetings, people of Otland. I am a new mapper, and I have been ghosting around on Otland for about a week and reading tutorials on mapping. I finally feel comfortable enough to take the critisizm of the community here. Please don't be too harsh because I have only been mapping for like 2 weeks and it's not really that good. I'll try and post one picture of something I have made everyday, or maybe every other day.
'~Thanks to Neon for his Detailed Cave Tutorial~'

I know it sucks really bad but I hope to get better, please comment and rate it. Thanks​

Thanks, Again TheNubCake

 

[Blez]

is it for rots, or spiders?

 

[PotatoSkin]

I don't know. I just realized I used spider webs and rotworm holes :$ It could be for Spiderworms

A fail attempt at a crappy swamp using Illusion's Swamp Tutorial

 

[Tibia Rox]

Use less of 6216 & 6217

 

[PotatoSkin]

No idea what those are :s

 

[Rugged Mage]

No idea what those are :s

its the grass on the ground

 

[PotatoSkin]

What?

 

[Blez]

The moss you placed in your spiderworm cave.

 

[PotatoSkin]

Lol <3 Blez; But did I use too much of it?

 

[Tibia Rox]

No there the tall grass tufts that you spammed.

 

[Fargo]

@your swamp It needs to be bigger as it is a swamp.. and use less of the thick grass tufts

 

[PotatoSkin]

Oh okay, Thanks Tibia Rox; I don't feel like fixing it because I am playing MW3 but I'll keep it in mind :ninja:

Dark199; I'll do that next time I make a swamp

 

[Blez]

Also in your cave, the little plant walls you added, dont mix, it looks as if you just placed random ones there. and the stone cave borders, I saw a few unfinished, and missing borders.

 

[PotatoSkin]

Ok thanks a lot. I changed it all

 

[Refused]

Off-Topic: Are you playing that on the PC, if yes, add refused15 on Steam.
On-Topic: I really like the cave, but I'm not really a fan of swamps, although it doesn't look bad.

 

[PotatoSkin]

@Refused's OT- Nope I am playing it on Xbox360, sorry.
Back on Topic- Thanks Refused, going to try something different tomorrow.

The swamp looks kinda OK but u should try use less big grasstuffs and also replace some of your grass with swamp
keep it up, keep reading tutorials and check others mapps, and u will grow! Waiting for more!


Regards
Radeon

ps. feel free to pm if u got any questions

 

[Illusion]

Definitely got potential.

Some tips:
1. Press New View before you take a picture -> Better quality.
2. Don't put grass borders over grass.
3. Use less big grass tuffs, and more of the small ones.

You should try to make some random nature -> good basic.

Regards.
